I’m with you. All it takes to cook something is fire. I’ve used the same little old cast iron hibachi my entire adult life.

just like this one.
Did you know that if you try to smelt aluminum on one and hook it up to an air compressor that iron actually burns?
I was young, and stupid. I wish I still had it, and hadn't had access to the stainless tubing I used to feed air to it.
