I am from what you may call the “east”, however I rather prefer the term “deep south”.
Perhaps D/O cooking is more popular out west but, since being bitten by the cast iron “bug”, I have made a rather impressive collection of camp D/O’s and an even greater collection of wonderful friends by virtue of the very fine meals made possible by the humble black iron pot.
I never tire of the amazement shown by folks who awake in camp to the smell of fresh baked bisquits or who learn that the sweet potato pie they are enjoying was cooked in a charcoal fire.
Over the past two decades, I have done my best to be a good ambassador for D/O cooking and have gifted more iron than I currently own (and that’s a lot!). So you see, Sir, we Southrons may appear somewhat averse to D/O cooking but perhaps that is because many of us prefer to camp in the more temperate fall and winter months. Please do come by and visit between Labor Day and Easter, we’ll be cooking and y’all will be smiling, I guarantee it.

Scott;

Your e-mails are great and this year I finally decided to take dutch ovens camping. Out here in Idaho it’s great to camp at Atlanta where you are secluded and the scenery is just beautiful! We cooked cjicken one meal and my one daughter who doesn’t like chicken had 2 helpings and asked me to cook it at home that way. The next trip we cooked Pork Shoulder with carrotts, potatoes and onions with garlic and she loved that meal too. So from now on it’s Dutch or nothing!

I have been dutch oven cooking for years, even cook competatively (and award winning!) with dutch ovens and my own chuckwagon. I’m so happy to see some one promoting a great hobby! Love to share tips and recipes too!
