Do you guys prefer legs on the bottom or no?
Legs are obviously better for outdoor fire cooking, but no legs are better for the oven, right? I will be using this mostly camping so i am thinnking i will go with the legged version. Any thoughts? thanks! |

my wife does not like dutch ovens, regardless of the setup, but I still give her one every now and then  LOL, I missed the joke at first! I have 2 camp style and one home style. I can do without the legs while camping if I had to, simply put 3 or 4 same size stones in with the coals to set the pot on. A domed lid in lieu of the flanged lid would not be that good for campfires. JMHO |

ok, thanks for the suggestions. I got an 8" and a 10" with legs. I thought about the 12,but since it is just my wife and I it seemed like 2 smaller ones would be better. I got the lid lifter too. they didn't have the lid stand, I will have to find that somewhere else. they came with cookbooks so we are going to give it a try tomorrow night.
thanks again for the help guys! |

Don't sweat it if you have the "bean pot" variety without the lip. Just make a temporary ring out of foil...
I ran across one the other day that looked like a steel well casing that had a bottom welded in and had a very tight fitting lid. The lathe turning marks were faint but could be seen where the weld was turned down. Pretty interesting.... |
