Hey, you want to know how we cook for cowboys out there on them ranches
0:04
Stick around, I'm fitting to show you. I get a lot of questions about what do you use out there when you're cooking
0:18
I see you ain't got old Bertha, so what do you be using
0:21
We got an old collapsible stove here that I like to use when we're on ranches. Now, I think we call her Christine is her name
0:29
She is shorter than Bertha, because Bertha stand about here. But folks, I'm just telling you for sure, for one thing, she don't like weighing as much
0:39
as Bertha when you have to put her together. But it keeps me from bending over, plumb on the ground, and if I had a hole to where I
0:48
was cooking, stuff would be blowing in it, because I cooked with one of them holes in the ground forever
0:52
My good friend, Randall Gates, out there at the J.A.'s, told me, he said, hey, you borrow this
0:58
Just keep it till I want it back. Hey Randall, come load it brother, it's getting heavier every day
1:02
Let's talk about these luxurious features that this self cleaning range has out here
1:07
on the range. Now if Shannon get in here and zoom in here, you can see that there's two parts really
1:13
to this. This graded part over here with these pieces of rod, and then expanded metal grate on this end
1:22
Now both of them serve a great purpose, they do. one here I leave it on there most of the time hey that'll be 28 skillet will
1:31
set right there on it but if I'm not cooking steaks hey I got it right here
1:40
it got some grooves cutting it right here on all four corners That way when you set it on there it fit down
1:52
And that way it gets it about half level and secure. Now there's times that it ain't even on there
1:59
I just got that sitting there. Got that old skillet right there. I keep fire on this end
2:05
how do i regulate with this shovel i can rake me some more down under here whenever i need to if i
2:11
need to get it hotter too hot rake it out these things here you can see how they come up in a
2:20
minute i'll show you how they go back in there got grooves cut in them here they're level
2:25
randall done a great job and that old skillet will sit right there on it let me just step in
2:32
here it's one of the few times that I can stand in this thing slides back and forth I'm gonna take
2:37
it out of this thing and see this hole it'll slide right through there got one on the other end then
2:44
it'll lift plumb out you can see how that lifts out if Shan will get in here I want to show you
2:51
them things are heated bend around where it'll fit on that rod but you still got to have a lot
2:56
of slack in there to worry so Shan she calls me and she tells me got about 25 extra guests coming
3:11
We have just expanded our steak grilling surface. Now I can put a lot of steak on there
3:18
Other grate that y'all seen, it fit in here and had little notches cut in it
3:24
But this in here is a little more flexible square tubing expanded metal welded on there horseshoes for a handle Folks this this is all quarter inch plate This little I think it a rectangular box as my geometrical teacher would have taught me
3:43
It pins everywhere around. They'll come out. I have set it up and had to move it just a little
3:49
Folks you sort of need somebody else to help you pick it up and move it because this whole
3:55
thing is sort of heavy. I got this there. I can still get my shovel in here to regulate fire, but I can also put this Dutch oven up
4:07
and stay warm so when I take that bacon out of there that y'all didn't get to see and
4:12
put it in this Dutch oven to keep it warm. One other great feature
4:16
Oh, your kitchen's got them. My kitchen's got it too. A kitchen light
4:22
There it is, folks. what you call adjustable. Got a hole down here in it. What you can see slides right in there
4:35
You can put it on either end or you can make two, have them on both ends. I use this and I use
4:42
Obertha. When I'm using this, it's a time when we're maybe going on a ranch that we have to move
4:48
camp a lot. Maybe it's every day. Maybe it's every three or four days. I can load this and somebody's
4:55
pickup, trailer something, and haul it. Bertha's a little harder to throw in the back of the pickup
5:01
If it's a stationary camp to where we're there 10 days, maybe, sure, I'm going to try to bring
5:05
over Bertha if I can, or if we're not even moving at all. But if I'm having to move
5:11
Christine's probably coming with me. Now, I do got somebody else that tags along every once in a
5:15
while That is a fire dragon and that Waldo here Waldo goes with us sometimes and we got to cook a whole bunch of stuff So this is just an old tractor rim Got some expanded metal grapes on
5:28
here, but you want to be sure you've got something coming across there to brace it, because when it
5:33
gets hot, that stuff will wilt. It'll go to sagging. One other thing I've got to tell you, and I'll
5:39
let Sham just zoom in down there at the bottom, I'll just put the shovel. See that there hole
5:43
it's got four of them all the way around you've got to have a little circulation in there for this
5:49
thing to be able to draw you can make a smaller version of this I guess you can make a bigger
5:54
version I've turned it over and used it this way just to have a firebox where I could shove the
6:03
holes out so hey fix you something make sure it's feasible to you and use it thank y'all again for
6:10
taking time to stop by out of your busy day and check out all this fire breathing equipment I got
6:17
Now it's hot, it's heavy, everything in my kitchen is. But folks, a lot of y'all been commenting
6:22
what do you use if you ain't got old Bertha? I hope this helped you out. But there's one thing
6:27
I want to tell you that's really very, very important. I get a lot of comments on YouTube
6:32
Great video, Kent. Folks, y'all need to realize it ain't me making these videos. It is my sweet
6:37
wife Shannon. She puts a lot of work into this. She's a great editor. She's a great
6:42
photographer and I couldn't do it without her. We hope you enjoyed. We hope you
6:47
learned a little something. These things are handier than two shirt pockets, I
6:51
promise. Hit the little subscribe button at the bottom. We'll keep you informed, tell
6:56
you what's happening in the world of I want to cook. Adios
