I've got one of those carrying cases for my smaller oven and just run a loop of paracord through the handles and one of the braces.

Any and all gear should be tied into the canoe as a preventative anti-loss measure, in the event of capsize. Dutch ovens, even the comparatively lightweight aluminum versions favored by river rafters are heavy and bulky and reliant on the availability of found fuel or worse, transported fuel ––- consider this ... Unless you're dealing with a very leisurely trip with a large group among whose canoes you can distribute the group's load, and without difficult portages involved, a Dutch oven is a probably unnecessary impediment. Today's high quality, nutritious, and very palatable freeze-dried foods are a viable alternative to lugging around 16th Century technology...

I carry a Dutch oven canoeing (and rafting) because I can- same reason I like to carry one when car camping. Heck, I've got two of them I sometimes carry when going to campouts. I enjoy cooking in it as well as the bit of tradition it brings. A small bag of charcoal briquettes works fine and doesn't take up much space if you don't want to search for firewood. If I were going on a long trip I'd probably forgo it and I certainly don't bring it backpacking where light weight is the name of the game. |

For us cooking in a Dutch oven is a group thing. We enjoy it. Cooking on a small back packing stove with a small pan and eating freeze dried food is not the same. Going by canoe we can carry the weight. Like said above tradition has some to do with it. cooking like the old days and spending time around the fire getting the wood burned down to coals is fun for us. I just want to make sure if A canoe goes over i still have my Dutch ovens.
