Portable Wood Fire Box or Stove for Outdoor Cooking 

I love Kent and Shannon so much and this channel. My grandpas name is Kent and he also wears a cowboy hat and has for the majority of his life and he also is a great cook. I feel bad because as a youngster, me and my twin brother would make fun of him and say isn’t that a women thing because he did the cooking in the house. One day we were doing this and he knelt down took off his cowboy hat and said “ Look here boys, a man who couldn’t cook back in the day was a dead man, and I’m one of the toughest sons a bitches you’ll ever meet. He rolls up his sleeves to show green prison tattoos, he pulls his shirt up to show a scar he got serving in Korea, he lifts his hands up and shows that he’s missing half his pinky on his right hand and missing half his pointer finger on the left hand and then paused, smiled and said come on in to the kitchen and let me show you a thing or two about cooking. Then he goes oh by the way, I didn’t chop my fingers off with a knife cutting vegetables, a chainsaw did that lol. I’ll never forget that day and you bet your bottom dollar I never teased him again lol.

Kent I am glad to here you give your wife her propers your a good man

When I first started watching these videos I liked them but thought anybody can get lucky with a few. But when I got into the website and saw the sheer volume of presentations available I thought wow this lady knows what she's doing. Plus, if necessary she can plant the camera and join Kent to help cook or demonstrate (cast iron) and use a big word or two every now and then!. Above all though, your videos seem homey. Even if you two make a blooper you turn it around so we all feel like hey, here's two regular people who are just like the rest of us and having fun living. Cudos to the Beag too.

I bet you don't miss the fire pit and tripod days. Great labor saving kitchen you've got.

Great work Shannon!

I use to use 2 tractor rims stacked on each other. I cooked many meals camping with family and friends. I love cooking on an open fire. Sad to say I don’t get to do that anymore. I’m in a wheelchair now due to a horrible trucking accident. I lost both of my legs that day. So now I watch RU-vid and enjoy everyone else’s adventures. I love yours and Shannon’s channel ❤

As a retired US NAVY Chief Petty Officer, I appreciate your gratitude at the end of the videos. I really do. Keep making fantastic videos and thank you both again.

I have watched quite a few of y'alls videos, and enjoy them. Maybe it is the romantic in me, but what I enjoy most is when you talk about feeding the cowboys. You CARE about what you are feeding them. I am the cook at my house, and I "cook with love" (as corny as that sounds, I believe it). I can tell you really enjoy what you do...helping those workers get through the day. We all know that food is sort of "the great peacemaker" when you gather folks to eat. For those cowboys, it may be the best part of their day, getting to sit down and warm up with some of your stew. I applaud you for that

Thanks Shannon for keeping him in line

I appreciate the good work you both do. Really enjoy the videos.

Thank you Ms. Rollins for making such great videos I truly enjoy watching them, for a few minutes they make this old world feel normal.

I really like you thanking the viewer and giving credit when its due. Cheers from Argentina.

Thank you Shannon and Kent for sharing your knowledge. Watching and learning!!

Really enjoy your program. Hats off to Shannon for all the hard work so we can watch these videos. God Bless.

Kent we love the videos. My lil one keeps telling me that he wants to be a cowboy just like you

Thank You Shannon for making the videos of Kent. God Bless you both.

Enjoy the videos. My hats off to Mrs.Rollins. May God Bless you both.

Love it! That light stand really made me smile, too.

You are truly the real deal. I enjoy your videos.

Shannon does s fine job, and you make great content Mr Rollins. I always learn something to apply to my outdoor kitchen. Thank you!!

Sure love your videos. Going to come to your cooking school in the near future. Was raised in Keller Texas but moved to Franklin N.C. when I was 30 years old. Up in the smokies. Nice place to raise a family. God Bless the both of you. I my 73 and served in Viet Nam at Cue Viet mile south of DMZ.See you soon .I watch all I can of you and Shannon. God Bless!!!

thanks for all you and your wife do to give us some tips. I worked with cub scouts for ten years, and enjoyed many camp outings that included a lot of the same outdoor cooking equipment and techniques you talk about. I no longer am involved with scouts, but have learned a great deal from your videos that I intend to try with my family and friends. thank you Kent.

hey cowboy Kent...It's really great that you point out you couldn't do what you do without the love and support of your wife. Those words go a long way in today's society and I honestly appreciate that you acknowledge that you don't do it all by yourself.BTW your quick sour dough starter is a huge hit with my family thank you so much for sharing.

Very nice set up....Always good to see your videos Thank You Shannon..

Found it.... Thanks for posting it. Gave me some good ideas for my making my own. Have a blessed day!

Kent, thank you for your videos. Shannon, thanks for making them professional.

The sad thing is, there's people that wouldn't eat off of that. Those people don't know what they are missing. Some of the best meals I've eaten have been cooked on something similar to that! Good job you guys, and God bless yall!

Thank you to Mr. and Mrs Rollins for sharing your skills and making great videos. I can watch you cook until my appetite starts to cry from not getting to eat such great cooking the way my Grandparents cooked on wood also. I have two of their antique wood cook stoves and ovens im gonna bring outta retirement and give it a try. Thank you.

I see why this guy has 2.6 million subscribers. Such a way with words and ingenuity!

Thanks for passing your knowledge along to others!

Thank you Shannon for all your hard work and thank you Ken for narrating😃

Thanks Shannon!! How you all are having a great day! !

Howdy Rollin's....yes another great one. It's always interesting seeing outdoor cooking arrangements. My system is sorta like Waldo. You may want a metal barrel head to make like a griddle for Waldo. Then maybe not...that big ole iron skillet is probably all you will ever need. Well anyway thank y'all for making this video. Take care. GOD bless!

I love your cooking gear with big outdoor homemade just like your good food you make 👍

Love your videos. There is something special about cooking out of doors over an open fire. Keep up the good work

Thank-You Both . May God bless you and yours.

You are awesome. Thank you and your wife. Love a good old fashioned cowboy still around! Two thumbs up.

Great idea Ken. Thanks Shannon for all your good videoing.

Now this is the kind of equipment I like. Heavy and strong! This baby will last a loooong time!

Watching your videos has inspired my family to go out doors and cook and travel places we never considered before here in Florida. My youngins Rebecca and Mirella are having the time of there life. Thank you brother thank you for the spark we needed.

Next to Wishbone ? Your the tops. Joking apart loved this video. Good on you Bach for taking the time and sharing your knowledge for all to see.

God Bless You Sir, love your cooking tools, and Yes God Bless Your wife and family ❤️

Thanks so much for all the hard work you and Shannon put into these. I've learned so much from watching you cook. You have a big fan here in Canada.

Mr.Rollins, Been watching your show for about 6 months now. Along time ago l purchased 2 lodge camp stoves 10 and 12 inch without the pre seasoning that are still in the box. You've given me the motivation to start cooking outside and using some of your recipes. Great show...

Thanks for sharing your cookin stuff. I think I'm going to make me on out of the tractor rim. Great idea.

Your Very Right About The TWO SHIRT POCKET!! VERY GOOD INFORMATION!! I Promise YOU!!

God bless you both. Love your vids. They are entertaining, informative and a relief against the stresses of these times. Especially liked the vid on cowboy tips. Looked very comfy.

Love your videos , and all the great info you give out !!!, I feel close to wut you say as I worked on a cattle and sheep ranch in Montana for a few years in Montana and watched and help the cook when she cook in our camps just like your cookin , and at our home ranch cook house , as I did the farming part but help her with the lifting and the prep work , thanks a lot Kent and Shannon for all the great videos and bringing back all those old memories , God bless you both , happy trails to you both , 😎👋👋👋

Thank you Kent and Shannon, I've learned a lot from y'all's videos. Keep up the good work and thanks again for supporting our great men and women who fight, and fought for our great nation. God Bless You.

Thank you very much all ways learning when y’all teach Ken and Shan y’all the best

Adding you to my list of "go to" videos. I have been scouting with our youth, sometime as many as 30 at a time, meanwhile teaching them the outdoor cooking. Oh the stories I could tell. I have had parents complimenting on my choice of cookware. I was given an old nonstick teflon coated gravy pot. I use it as a water holder in case of fire or just to cool down the coals. As a fellow video maker, Ms. Shannon, your doing great. Back in the woods in a couple weeks. Have a good one my friend.

Kent and Shannon y'all are such wonderful people and do an outstanding job as a husband and wife team!! It's so REFRESHING to hear how much you guys love one another and certainly an inspiration to others. I am an old Southern cook too and love the country life. I enjoy cooking in my cast iron and making meals outdoors every chance I get. God bless y'all for sharing your time and talents!!💗

Christine is a well thought out cooking apperatice, Thank you Shannon for all u do gal.

These videos make me want to run away and be a cowgirl! Just made the best cowboy coffee thanks to mr Rollins.. thank you! Love the videos! ❤️

I just love these grass roots cookers!! Just make a lotta sense to me! Thanks to you both!

You are both awesome. And I pray God blessed you both. My wife and I are trying to repair an old family dairy farm. Getting the building back together and get some animals in here. You two have given us both great ideas for places to gather and new methods to cook. We have an old wood burning stove we are going to try to get out next sping. Thanks for all your hard work.

Great idea for a stove set up thanks Kent for showing and thanks Shannon for filming. ATB. Nigel

Great video SHANNON and your cowboy is pretty great too. Y'all keep up the great work.

Great job Mrs Shannon, love the videos.

Mr. Rollins I Just Stumbled Across Your Channel I Love It, I subscribed God Bless You And Keep Doing What Your Doing!

I’m certain I. Will be building me a outside mini Christine or the tractor rim dragon And Absolutely you hug Shannon’s neck for ol Jeff here and tell I do appreciate her and her ability to film you While cooking and the editing is fantastic.

very informative and great idea on a smaller packing stove

Great work Shannon with all the video's! They are excellent! I'm glad you and Kent chose to to show the different stove's you two cook on and explain how the work and go together. I'm going to try to make my family one. Maybe the size of the tractor rim. I also love your recipe's. Keep your face in the wind and your powder dry my friends!

Very creative ! Good design for keeping the wind out. Stove looks like it will feed a bunch of people.

Oh to be in high school metal shop again; what a great project this would be.

And y'all both do an excellent job, thank you to both of you for quality videos. I have a cook trailer and I'm finally starting to see a lot more options that I can use my different equipment for. I don't have a good imagination, lol. Thanks again and God bless

Thanks Shannon for the videos and Kent for the cooking. Thanks for a Great cookbook too!

Just Wanted To Thank You And Your Wife For The Fantastic Videos! I’m in To Civil War Reenacting. And The Company Cook. Your Videos Inspire! Thank You For Your Time.

Shan keep that boy in line💓💓💓, God bless love what you all do

Thanks Shannon for the video. You and Kent are a wonderful team. Jim

Great ideas and information, I now can improve me keyhole fire pit, plus build a perfect portable stove to travel with. Thanks Ken, spot on as usual.

Kent this was a great and informative video, the fact I can learn ways of cooking outdoors this way is the best 5/5 hand down

So happy and honoured to learn the traditional way of cowboy cooking. Thank you sir

Simply amazing! So simple, so basic, and so practical.

I really enjoy watching your videos. I have learned a lot! Hope to attend one of your cooking classes in the near future. You and Shannon keep up the good work. God bless y'all.

Great stuff, as always! You and Shannon are great! Say, as much as I love the stove/firebox, I also love that lantern! I collect 1880s-1920s kerosene lanterns! Looks like a Defiance No.2 cold blast! Keep up the great stuff!

Thank you, I learn a bit more from each video. Happy Holidays from south Texas.

Great video Kent I love watching you cookShannon does areal good job

WE love Shannon. THANK YOU hun for all you do.

I want this at my camp. I will be looking for some steel and someone with a welder. Love you guys and the time you take to make these videos.

Hey there Rollins family, you two make the best cooking duo out there. What a team! Thanks to both of you for producing another great video production. If I knew what the future held for the wife and I, I'd sure invest in the time and materials involved to make one of these outdoors wood burning cooking appliances but, at our age and physical condition, we're not sure of a lot of things anymore. Still, we both enjoy watching other folks working side by side, especially outside, cooking and sharing their experiences and knowledge with others. May the good Lord continue to Bless the Rollins household. Stan

Thanks Shannon! Great job on the video. Thanks for the info Kent 😁
