gave ya the recipe already....almost..... meat- seared in the pan, little bit of pork fat in first (chopped bacon), then when searing operation complete, add the taters, onions, carrots, and garlic cloves (I prefer them chopped finely) and dry onion soup mix. then cover with H2O cover the pot and cook till desired amount of cookage has been acheived. for my particular roast, this took about 1 hour with the fire I had going....more or less depending on the amount of heat ect..... I almost always use a thermometer to check temp of meat...... 145ish range is where I generally stop cooking beef.....then after resting 10 minutes or so, temp will be 155ish and almost perfect medium to medium rare......
then enjoy with your beverage of choice and is best shared with a friend or two.....

Thanks for the bump guys! I never would have thought to look for this.
I just got a DO for free in an order I placed recently. But I'm not sure what # it is. It's approx. 10" across and 3.75" deep. Anyone know what that would be?  </img />It's not a Lodge or anything. But you can't beat free! |

Sometime this summer I'm building a steel table to cook on, to get ready for some late summer/early fall cooking. |

I've got to post some pics of some dutch oven stands my dad has made. They are steel with aluminum wind screens, optional grille, totally awesome.
I made some diced potato's in mine over the 4th, with bacon, onion, peppers, and GARLIC. They were badass. Why anyone cooks in something other than cast iron or a weber grill is beyond me. |

I got a 12 QT for my B'day June first. First thing I cooked in it was a 2lb meat loaf. Other then some slight burning on the bottom (my fault) best Meat loaf my 82 yro mother had ever ate. And she grew up with woodstove a DO cooking on the farm.
Not a real fan of the foil, but if it works for you ok. I stripped the preseasoning from it and reseasoned it in the Coper Clad Range before use. And corn bread baked over a fire with care, has a smokey lite flavor. |

On all the Dutch ovens with legs and rim tops like this one from Lodge, there will be a number on the lid indicating the diameter. http://www.lodgemfg.com/images/logic_2qt_8qtcdo_subcat.jpg Simple rule (Think baseball) "Three up, Three down". Say yours is a 14 Put more 3 charcoal briquet's on top. ––––-(14+3)- Total of 17 Put less 3 charcoal briquet's on bottom. ––(14-3)- Total of 11 This gives you a fairly regular 325 - 350 deg. oven.

Someday I need to try a cake or cobbler, but right now my favorite is this:
Add a bit of oil, saute one onion that has been chopped. Add a pound of chopped up bacon Add on pound of hamburger meat Add some salt, pepper, and garlic powder Cook for about half an hour Add one sliced bell pepper cook for about 10 minutes Add 4 or so potatos cubed Cook for about 30 minutes Add a pound or two of smoked sausage Cook for 20 or so more minutes Stir at each step by the way..... After this it is ready.....it might stop your heart, but it's damn good! |

Gradually add three tablespoons of milk, two tablespoons of butter and one tablespoon of cornstarch and vanilla, beating well. In another bowl, mix chocolate cake mixes as directed on package, adding the required ingredients. Spread half of the chocolate batter in a 14-inch Dutch oven lined with quick-release foil. Spoon cream cheese mixture evenly over chocolate batter, then top with the remaining chocolate batter. Bake about 45 minutes over fire on high hook, with top coals. A tooth-pick comes out clean when cake is done. Let cool, then spread frosting over cake and top with pie filling. |

I'm about to break out my DOs. I dazzled a friend who came over and cooked some elk burger in one of my cast iron skillets. I told him that they're about all that I've cooked on since I left home (1970). All that my mother ever cooked with was cast iron.

i have cooked a lot with charcoal. when out camping or in the backyard with a fire going i find it easier to use coals from the fire. if you set your logs like a log cabin it leaves you room to get the coals from the bottom. at the wood burns the coals fall in the center. just have to leave the logs far enough apart to get ur shovel in there. its nice to have the coals always ready to go on the ovens and not having to get the charcoal ready. it takes some practice getting used to how much to put. its fun to cook with the fire coals and more like the old days. if things turn south you might not able to get charcoal from the store.

I make fires in the backyard firepit (really a hole in the ground) all the time. I build log cabin style, but probably smaller than the fires you make. Still, I'd love to know how to cook with those coals and have some success without burning the first fifty tries. I'm thinkin' that visuals would help a little. Kitties |

Hey quick question all you cast iron guys. How does the Academy brand "Outdoor Gourmet" stuff stack up against
Lodge brand? I have a 14 regular DO from lodge, but was looking at the prices, and there's a big difference in the price of the outdoor gourmet vs. the lodge. I know you usually get what you pay for, so how do they stack up? |

i will take some pictures for u next time and get them up on here.
as far as other brands of cast iron stay away from ones not made in the USA. they tend to be thinner or thicker in spots. when u cook with them it will have hot/cool spots. i would stick with lodge. they cost more but there made a lot better. also when buying any dutch oven make sure u get it out of the box and make sure the lid fits good. when i buy one i will get a couple out and look for the best fit in lids. |

I went through some pictures and came across this one. if you look close you can see some of the bottom logs are spaced enough to get the fireplace shovel in between. i like to have 2 or 3 logs facing one way for the bottom. 3 works good as u get 2 spot to get coals. then u stack ur wood on top. u can stack them up a couple layers. i like to use thicker logs for the bottom so they stay around longer and keep a spot to get the coals out. the upper logs burn and drop the coals in between. we where just getting it started so its not the best picture. it works a lot better if not in a camp ground fire ring. also a pair of dutch oven gloves or another type help. the fire gets pretty hot with the coals building up. warms ur hands up pretty fast when getting coals out. a bigger shovel would help but makes it harder to get into the fire with out tearing it apart. we did a roast and in another pan did a loaf of bread. i have not had a problem with burning things. i thought i would. wood coals are different sizes but if u get close to the amount u would need with charcoal it works pretty good. another tool needed is a small broom made from wood so it does not melt. it helps with getting the ashes off the top when they have burned down. hopefully this makes some sense and helps out. i will work on a better picture.
also look at local state parts. i have taken a couple class from local places. if ur just getting started its nice to see other people doing it as well. |

a good easy one to take camping
i put this on here some where not sure if it was this thread of another. 1-2 cans sliced peachs. 1 white/yellow cake mix chunks of butter cinnamon. all u have to do it dump the peachs in. put the cake mix on top of it. dont mix it in. put some chunks of butter on top and then add cinnamon on top of that. cook for a while and u have a easy cobbler. it works well for camping as the peachs are in a can and already cut up. cake mix is in a box. the hardest part is the butter. |

I get Emails from a lady that shares dutch oven recipies. Here is a good one.
Recipes TO: More recipients Well here we go with a recipe for dutch oven cooking. I am sending the Green Chilie Chicken Enchilada recipe first as it seemed to be the most popular. I must qualify this a bit as I am not one of those cooks who precisely measures everything. I kind of just put it together and hope for the best. Having said that, I will give you the recipe for a casserole size. Of course, for a Dutch Oven, depending on the size of the oven, you might have to double or triple these ingredients. Chicken, I usually cook up some, but on Saturday I used canned chicken and it turned out well. I buy it at Sam's so have those pretty big cans. One would probably be enough for a casserole. If you like more meat, put in more. When I cook my own I use a package of thighs, or breasts and cook them first. Then chop or shred the meat. Cream of chicken soup, 1 can Cream of mushroom soup, 1 can A bit of water or broth to rinse the cans Chopped onion, I use at least one whole onion Garlic-minced, to taste Chopped green chilies, to taste Shredded colby or cheddar cheese or the colby/jack mix Corn Tortillas Mix the chicken with the soups, water, onion, garlic, and chilies. Cut or tear the corn tortillas in fourths. Layer first the tortillas, then mixture, then cheese in a casserole or Dutch Oven. I usually do about three layers and top with lots of cheese. Bake until everything is melty and bubbly. Hope this makes sense. Let me know if you try it and how it turns out. Happy Cookin |

We do that often, and do fresh-made "ice cream in a bag" to go with it Just do: 1 cup half-and-half in a small zip bag with 2 T sugar and a little bit of vanilla seal and put inside a slightly bigger zip bag with 1/2 cup coarse salt and some ice. Seal and shake for several minutes until firm. Rinse the seal on the inner bag before opening. You can get a box with a few pounds of coarse salt at the grocery store in the spice section. Usually comes in a red box labeled ice cream salt, and sells for under $2. BTW for the peach cobbler, we do 1 box mix per can of peaches. We have both mixed the two together before cooking, and without mixing, both turned out good. Different but good. |

Happy Cookin well made this twice last week.....the trial run in a 10 inch....turned out kinda watery and a little bland, but tasted pretty good...... so then multiplied the recipe by 4 and made in my 14 inch deep, added season all salt and corn, less chicken stock trying to thicken it up a bit....it did somewhat, but still very loose......overall VERY good..... the group of guys I fed it to ate it up. they loved it. also made the peach cobbler....

I need to make one. 3/16" steel plate about 36" wide, bend one end up about 6", weld 3/4" pipe nipples to the bottom, buy 4' 3/4" pipe screw it, start cooking. That's my version anyway. Pangea probably has an easier way to do it but it requires $100K worth of welding equipment to pull it off. (ref. his 1" boiling pot!). |
