Hey bro I live in Albuquerque, NM and our doors are open to you any day!! I also had no idea Cowboy Kent was here in NM too. Born and raised here, but new to this channel 👍👍

[@TerraPruett]

Hii Kent. Mr. Pruett here. I'm an 80 year old wood worker and I like to use tung oil on natural wood to bring out the natural color of that wood. You'll have to keep repeating the coatings of this oil from time to time due to being outdoors in the weather. The more often you apply the oil the darker it will get. Anywhere in New Mexico where there are pine trees you'll be snowed on in winter. I'm an Arizona native boy and desert rat. Retired career firefighter and avid Harley rider. I think I have watched every show of yours and have served by family several of your masterpieces, the last was your two-bone pork chops. What a hit those were. Shure kept the conversation down at the table. Be well and God bless you and Jenn. And the puppies.

[@Silver-cl2bd]

80??

[@FYRSTWAFFEN]

AGREED!

[@richardwest2505]

I have to agree with Mr. Pruett after several misadventures with our front door on our house here in AZ tung oil worked the best .

[@sherri1523]

Definitely the tung oil! I use it on EVERYTHING! My Tiger Oak kitchen table (we refinished) just has the tung oil. So gorgeous!

[@mattharmon6222]

In NM natural wood is king. Oil it or seal it but leave it natural!

For your outdoor countertop, you should burn the wood with a small torch, bring the wood grain out and put a cowboy bran on it. Then seal it put with an outdoor wood sealer. Classic. 😊

I’m a retired tool and die maker and I don’t have a machine shop in my garage, so I now spend my hobby hours working with wood! I have really enjoyed learning about the complexity of wood grain and how it will look after finish coating! Whether that may be tung oil, linseed oil, sanding sealer and polyurethane, whatever! The appearance of natural wood grain is amazing! I have to vote for a natural wood finish. Imperfections and insect damage are all part of outdoor living. Don’t bury them under an ugly layer of whatever color of whatever is handy! Let your wood talk to you!

[@thomespinos4148]

Thanks Brother Kent! I always look forward to your videos. They always lift my spirits. My wife is very sick and in a nursing home. We have hope that in time when she gets better and stronger I will be able to bring her home. It’s a lot of pressure and stress on me. Your videos bring a smile to my face.

[@hollyhasegawa4240]

Well I am half Japanese and I have made fried rice a lot, chicken fried rice, ham fried rice, pork fried rice, hamburger and bacon fried rice. I use green onions, small green peas, eggs, and soy sauce and also some sweet corn, also carrots. and sesame seeds. My dad is the one that has taught me how to cook alot of good food and a lot of Japanese food. I also use a Wok because that works really good. Thanks Kent you did a good job cooking this.

[@MagaRickn]

Man that makes me hungry!! As for the woodwork, Thompsons makes a product that we use on the wood walls in our horse stalls. It is a combination of sealer and stain. We use the light cedar product and apply it with a little pump up sprayer. I spray it and my wife follows up with a paint brush to brush out any runs. Has kept the wood in our barn good for 30 years! Lots of colors too. Thanks for your videos and thanks for your patriotism!! 74 year old son of a Air Force Veteran. RIP Dad! :)

[@barrybaker9516]

The woods' natural color looks just right. I'd say a clear sealer of some kind. As it ages with rest of the kitchen area- it'll do really well.

My Mother-in-law gave our family a Blackstone griddle similar to that one earlier this year and we absolutely love it. An extension of our kitchen. Still exploring all of the things that can and will be cooked on that thing. Would love to see more of what you will do cooking on that griddle.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

We sure like this one

[@zzzworld7794]

Hey Kent! I was born in New Mexico and have lived in the Southwest my entire life. I can remember smelling the desert sage of New Mexico - and to this day, that smell takes me home. SO, my recommendation is to stain/paint your counter desert sage green. I can't wait to make your fried rice! 🙂

[@Tinbender]

No paint, that's built in maintenance. Just an oil to preserve the wood, stain if you like or let the weather stain it for you. OH, and by the way as a vet I appreciate you're recognition of us.

[@michaelferrin2688]

Just keep it simple and seal it up. Looks great as is!!!

[@danielturley3959]

That’s so awesome ! I work at the company that produces bacon up ! It’s a great product that can be used for everything cooking related. We use it almost everyday at our house. They come in bigger packing also! They have totes up to 3 gallons!

[@stevegarland3387]

Looks like delicious fried rice. As for the cabinets I think they look better not stained but with a clear sealer.

Linseed oil for the wood. It's like grape seed oil for cast iron. Thanks for the share!!

I have a Blackstone and this is my families favorite meal! I like the addition of the corn (my wife doesn't like peas either). Thanks for always making me smile with your videos. Also, I would just use Thompson's on your cabinet. I love how it brings out the grain and still looks like natural wood.

Hello Mr. Kent. I'm new around these parts. I just wanted to say that as a USMC veteran myself I sure appreciate your message at the end. The conviction and sincerity behind your words was so profound to me it brought a tear to my eye. So I thank you for that sir. You have earned a new subscriber. 10 years ago this month I spent Thanksgiving in the deserts of Afghanistan. It wasn't big, it wasn't grand. But it sure was bitterly cold. If I recall correctly I was on my 2nd day of no sleep that particular week and I had a small container of turkey with a spit of mashed potatoes in the corner that night. It sure beat having another MRE.

[@bettyjrogers]

Thank you for your service.

[@3henry214]

Kent, long time woodworker here, for the type of wood you used, accentuate the grain by quickly passing a torch flame over the grain to slightly darken it for contrast, and then top coat it with a good UV stabilized/resistant exterior polyurethane. I regularly visit a friend in Deming and I know how harsh the New Mexico summer and winter months can get. I would not recommend Thompson's waterseal. Also, New Mexico is high desert, UV exposure levels there are higher ( I sunburn quickly while I'm there), that along with the monsoon season, will require more maintenance reapplication(s) of Thompson's than a good UV resistant stable exterior polyurethane. Next time you're in/near Ruidoso, head over to Village Ace Hardware and pickup some (oil based) Minwax Helmsman clear-semi gloss SPAR Urethane... good stuff! Now for the Chicken fried rice... yum. I've been making it for a long time almost the same way (corn and carrots, peas are not my favorite in fried rice). Up until a few years ago, I could easy eat hot chilies.. I use to love eating jalapeno peppers on-the-side, with a Burrito, can't tolerate the "heat" anymore... acid reflux and hemorrhoids fixed that. What goes in burning, comes out burning! ♨♨ Many times, I've contemplated keeping a roll of toilet paper cooled in the fridge for those ¡Ay, caramba! moments... LOL! Thank you greatly for coming out with the Lower Sodium Original Blend. Please do the same thing for the Mesquite smoke seasoning. The regular sodium content has been the only thing that has been holding me back in buying your seasonings. God bless You, Shannon and the furry food critics.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Thanks and God bless you

[@JTEllis]

Love the outdoor cooking area. Nice cabinet you built. I like the contrast of the natural wood in the cabinet to the walls. Use a sealer on it, and let the natural color age gracefully. Great recipe, can't wait to give it a try.

1) I don’t have a Blackstone, but I do have a small flat iron aluminum with cast iron coating (or so it looks like) griddle that we put on our grill. Works great for bacon wrapped asparagus.. 2) I like the new outdoor studio. I would stain your workspace, but I would either use Cabot or Pennefen brand of stain, not Thompson’s water seal. 3) You didn’t wear your western hat. This is a rarity in your videos. 4) Looks good, I may have to try making that someday. 5) I love watching your channel. You and Shan do an amazing job. God Bless.
