More Dutch oven cooking

[Criticalt]

Very cool @ArmedCorgi
We use our Lodge Dutch Oven all the time.
As well as tins of other cast iron for cooking.
We bought a new DO last year and it came with the stand to hang it over the fire for free.
I though we would never use the hanger but we use it all the time. We use hot coals from the fire most of the time but also bagged charcoal sometimes.
I dont know if you have had to re-season any cast iron but if you do, I highly suggest using flaxseed oil. The pure stuff, no added olive oil or anything.
It speads really thin and holds up very well.
We have used every oil to season pans but flaxseed is the best IMO.

man your missing the real Dutch oven experience .. that Oven needs to be underground .. dig hole .. build fire in the hole .. drop the oven in the hole ..
cover it up with dirt .. let it cook .. getting the timing right makes you good on how long in the hole and a Dutch cooker ..

i had the peach cobbler down pat for Boy Scout camp outs .. Bisquick , sugar , peaches and drop in the hole .. .. i made the other Scouts dig the hole lol

this is how you do it under ground ..

Not so much of an underground guy. That seems to be more of a set it and forget it way. You achieve the same results using either coals from the fire, lump charcoal or the briquettes. People actually figure out how many briquettes they need to get a certain temp and they stay on top of swapping them out to keep the temp up.

I just pick one up when I was in Tennessee at the lodge outlet store
It's of the blemished rack so it was half price for for a tiny pock mark on the out side
