We'd like you to meet our camp stove, Bertha. She's been with me for years and she's never let me down. She's cooked with me on many a ranch and hunting camps over the years.
Chicken fried steak with country gravy, cowboy beans, sizzlin' taters and cornbread, all cooked on Bertha. Just say when, where and how much, and I'll come a runnin"! I might be almost 68 years old, but this Greenville Texas boy will drive just about anywhere to have that kind of meal and have the honor of meeting you and your Bertha! A good day to you sir!
Ha,ha, Gee Bob, you speak like 68 is old! Damn, maybe the Mrs. Is right., I am old. But not too old to jump in the truck and head out for breakfast at The Cowboy Coffee shop....see ya next month.
I had the exact same sentiment when I watched this! These videos give me some faith in humanity. Thank you, Cowboy Kent Rollins and nice to meet Bertha!
though I'm not a cowboy, I am an old hey seed , grew up on a small family farm. lots of daily chores, but always much love & good , homemade food. we grew our own vegetables, raised our own table meat, went fishing & hunting every year. I recall how at my parents table there was always enough food as well as room for friends & family. There was honest talk of honest , God given life and what it means to really be a human person. we had electricity & indoor plumbing, as well as an old wood burning stove my daddy made to custom fit our fireplace. Though it could be a hard life sometimes, I dearly miss the values I grew up with from that. Maybe that's why who you are & what you do means so much to me. Also before each meal we'd always wash dirty hands ,bow our heads and pray together. Thanks for helping me remember, much appreciated, & mucho gusto to y'all
This is my second time watching this video, and I forgot about the little cowboy at 7:27. He's probably a foot taller now and has finally grown into that hat. Seeing young ins raised up like this warms my heart more than words can express, and it's icing on an already great video about a stove I'd love to have parked in my backyard. Your videos are just as enjoyable and educational years later as they are the day they're released. Keep up the great work Kent.
Wow that is the coolest thing i have ever seen. I've never drove any cattle but when my great grandfather was still alive we would spend weeks on his farm counting cows and catching crawfish in the creeks of Ava, MS. Your videos make me miss those days and wish that i would have been a little younger so i could have spent much more time with him learning stuff and driving the old tractor and cooking with granny. i want to put one of these together so bad. I love to cook, there is nothing better than a good meal and seeing people smile while standing around the grill, or stove, or smoker. Maybe I could have something similar on my little patch of land someday.. thanks for warming my heart a little.
I betcha ole Bertha has tales to be told...I love a wood stove...my mom had one when she first married back In 1947....they lived in a small town , Raton NM...northern area near Colorado.any way...there house came with a wood stove but they used coal and she had a real Ice-Box that took 25 pounds of ice in the top...with a drip pan.my mom did not know how to light coal so when dad came home for supper, ( beans and hammocks), they were raw...mom could not get the fire started! She died 2 years ago and the world is without a beautiful kind woman who meant the world to me...I’m adopted and she gave me my life...I was and am a lucky man...thank you mom...I know she watching ur show bc she taught me to cook...I love it...purity good at something’s too. I love to bake and make pastries...thank you sir...I appreciate all ur hard work and techniques...bless you all! Watch ur back ....
Pretty quarter horse you got there! He didn't miss a minute of your video. Like ours used to, anything you do in their pasture, they're gonna be in the middle of it. We had one that would sneak tools out of my granddad's tool box! Thanks for the videos and God Bless you and your sweet wife & dogs!
A real man. Loved how old burtha looked when you finished her off. I spit out my drink when you said Shannon will use casket handles for your coffin. God bless and thanks.
How'd your project come? So far I'm making a mini, mini Bertha out of a 5 liter olive oil container. I got a hole cut out where the pouring spout thing was and I replaced the plastic handle with a few loops of wire. Now I just need to cut a hole for the smokestack that I'll probably make with some aluminum cans.
That firebox has fascinated me for a long, long time. This video cleared up questions I've had for several years. Glad I finally landed on this video. Thanks for sharing, God bless you both.
You made this video over 2 years ago but I just now watched it. I've been watching a lot of your videos lately and I think this was the best one so far.
If steel could talk. Rollins, you are reminding a generation about what so many did to establish the communities of the American South and MidWest: Work, maintain, and raise family for the sake of creating the beef industry that would emerge out of cowboying. So many remember and the young ones wonder. You and your wife, and them dogs have helped to remind us of a time our forefathers had to go through. Thank you. I have to admit, I can't hold back the tears because my grandparents and father all lived and worked before WWI and WWII, without piped water or electricity, or cars or good roads. Good to see your progress.
Thanks Kent , sorry I missed it the first time . Great Berthamentry along with the smaller stove/ grill . Looks like you folks have that down to a science. 👍👍
I can understand how you and that old stove are so close, and it having given you so many years of great service. That reminds me of my grandmother's stove which she used during her lifetime and I never knew what happened to that stove after I went into the military.
Thank you for sharing your cooking recipes. I've seen some of your video they are awesome. your cooking is what I call authentic Americana🇺🇸👍 yes sir.. GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP ON COOKING..as for Bertha she sure is a single pretty lady.. may GOD bless her too..
Mr.Rollins, Absolutely loved this video and have to say I'm a bit jealous Sir! Mrs.Rollins, Looks you've got some stiff competition there...lol! Got a stack of plate I've been starin' at for six months wantin' to become somethin' special...hope she'll be just as good to me. Gotta say just found your channel a couple weeks ago and it's quickly become my favorite...brought back lots of memories! Thank you Sir for your time you put into these videos. Bless you and yours! From our family to yours!
I find something special about cooking outdoors... doesn't matter if its out on the deck or up in the Rocky Mountains... I know its easy to just do indoor cooking... but using charcoal, Hickory to throw some smoke into whatever you're cooking adds something special. This just puts something back into what most of us have lost over the years... and thats where people say food tastes so much better outdoors... you have a fun channel! Keep up the good work!
Great video as usual, great memories of you and Shannon and ol Bertha. Don't ever cuss ol Bertha, she'll get even with ya.... lol. My leg hair never did grow back, I guess I'm ready for the next time I cook on her. TJ
Very true, not sure I'd want to wrestle with that stove very often either, but the way he loads and unloads it makes it a little less of a chore, course a rope and pulley setup in the trailer would help if needed too in the future.
I have been wanting to have a good look at Bertha. Might just have to make here a cousin. Thanks for the video, you guys are part of what makes America great.
By golly, my friend, what you've got there is a Sweet Slice of Life. You're probably richer than most people could ever hope to become. By God's tender Grace, He's Givin you something to do that you're good at and a nice Filly to do it with. Can't ask for much more than that.
Kent,, try some metal primer, Jasco is a good brand, It’s phosphoric acid. I’ve used it for years, it converts rust oxide to iron oxide, it will turn the steel black, my diamond plate welding trailer got a dose and didn’t rust for 5 years, Test it on some steel, it will change your life. Bertha will love it, Trust me on this one,
Shan, how do you not react with uncontrollable laughter @ summa the stuff he says? I always have 1 or 2 deep down hearty belly laughs about his commentary.
Kent, Thanks for the cowboy ways. I used to do a little of this on Dove hunts and hog hunts but now I just go to Buds Cafe in Knox City. Nothing tastes quite as good as cooking on a mesquite fire. I even cooked a cobbler and burned it. One of the guys spent and hour picking though the burned stuff just to get the little of the stuff that was edible. I didn't have one of your dandy horseshoe trivets and set the dutch oven directly on the coals. Not the thing to do. Well I'm now ordering your book and stuff so maybe if I decide to do it again, I will pass muster. Thanks for showing us the tricks of the trade and I hope to meet you one of the days. Peace and God Bless and Keep you and Your's . ADR
Mr Rollins. I love your videos and your recipes. And I love outdoor cookin. But my favorite thing is listen to you talk. You should do books on tape. I'd listen to them. Reminds me of my grandpa.
Mr.Rollins, is the only draft control thru the door? I've cooked in my Camp Ovens for several years. This and your other videos have me interested in building a "Bertha". Your cookbook will be in my mailbox in a couple days. Really enjoy your channel. God Bless!!
LoL!! loved the video Kent! I can see how much you appreciate her. But......I gotta tell ya......I think I'm in love with her as well!! But ......Shes your girl!!! Thanks again!!
Hey Kent. I was wondering a few things. Do u haul that old wagon around sometime behind a team of horses or mules How long does ol Bertha take to cool enough after you're done cooking so u can load her back up. Do u cook freelance for various ranches Do you ever cook for city folk that want to try for the cowboy drive experience Thanx buddy. Great work. Gorgeous wife. You're a very lucky man to do what you love and are kind enough to share. I would absolutely love to be able to come out on one last ride but alas cancer is eating me up. God bless
I have pulled my wagon with steam several times on ranches, we still cook for the ranches in spring and fall when they are working cattle, She cools off in about an hour if you take the fire out of her and tip her up on her side.. God Bless my friend

Ha,ha, Gee Bob, you speak like 68 is old! Damn, maybe the Mrs. Is right., I am old. But not too old to jump in the truck and head out for breakfast at The Cowboy Coffee shop....see ya next month.
Jokes on me, I just notice you posted this 5 years ago! I guess I need a new set of cheaters.
Thank you for sharing your videos with us. When I watch one, it affirms to me that there is still some sanity in this world.
I had the exact same sentiment when I watched this! These videos give me some faith in humanity. Thank you, Cowboy Kent Rollins and nice to meet Bertha!
Thanks for the tour of Bertha!
And, thanks to Bertha for allowing us to watch her "bath" and "facial"!😊
+Pammie Doodle I think you can see she was blushing a little
I saw that rosie glow

Thanks Sarah for watching
Great video on Bertha , Love all that good food makes me wish I was a cowboy instead of an ol city slicker LOL !!!
I'm gonna make me a mini Bertha for the back yard
How'd your project come?

God Bless you as well

Thanks CJ it is a good stove, especially in the winter
You are a hard worker man......I wish I had half your strength and determination.
Best wishes from a chilean follower 😀
She will reach temperatures unknown to NASA! Hahahaha! 😂🤣👍👍
"temperatures unknown to NASA" :D I love this guy!
That was great, about you time you showed us Bertha after talking about her so much. Thanks
Now that is one beautiful camp stove. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Chuck and glad you found it
I like the way the horse walks away, dejected, in the beginning of the video. 😂
Dat dere is one serious grub makin' hunk of steel! Love her and Thx for sharing her with us.
That she is my friend
I simply love ‘ Bertha ‘, and am always delighted to see her appear !
Very good, Kent. Glad to see something that is truly appreciated.
Wow, she's a beauty for sure! And a beast, I'll bet she could cook about anything you want
beautiful horse 😍
If I had a stove like Bertha I'd be so happy
She is a blessing in cold weather, the summertime she will hurt you
I can understand how you and that old stove are so close, and it having given you so many years of great service. That reminds me of my grandmother's stove which she used during her lifetime and I never knew what happened to that stove after I went into the military.
Thats awesome. You cant beat cast iron, steel, and wood fires. Id take Bertha over any modern stove any day
Great video! Was a pleasure getting to know Bertha.
That quenched my curiosity about lovely Bertha. Thanks
Thanks for watching
I can't believe it took so long to find your videos. I love them. Thank you for making them...or your sweet wife ; - )

Bertha is a mighty fine hunk of burning love Kent,
She is sure nice in the winter time
Not many cooks could manhandle and lift that steel behemoth. I love your videos. You make a tough job look a little easier.

I just learned something interesting in this video how to keep a bertha happy and you had some two other dogs
thank you sir for introduce ing me to Bertha she looks like she works very well for u

Man old cowboy Kent has got meat trippen on old Bertha, she's a gorgeous gal isn't she. I want one!
Hot lady she is
Hey Kent. I was wondering a few things. Do u haul that old wagon around sometime behind a team of horses or mules
How long does ol Bertha take to cool enough after you're done cooking so u can load her back up.
Do u cook freelance for various ranches
Do you ever cook for city folk that want to try for the cowboy drive experience
Thanx buddy. Great work. Gorgeous wife. You're a very lucky man to do what you love and are kind enough to share. I would absolutely love to be able to come out on one last ride but alas cancer is eating me up. God bless
