outdoors and want to do more than cooking on a grill, the next thing you really, really need to get is a dutch oven. \u00a0Dutch ovens are so incredibly versatile that you can cook just about anything in them. \u00a0 When I recommend a Dutch oven, there are two brands that stand out, Lodge and Camp Chef. \u00a0You generally can't go wrong with either one of those. \u00a0 \u00a0I'm going to focus on the Lodge brand here and particularly the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Lodge-Logic-8-Quart-Pre-Seasoned-Cast-Iron\/product-reviews\/B00008GKDW\/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&amp;showViewpoints=1\">Lodge Logic 8 Quart Dutch Oven and let you know all I know about it.<!--more--><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here are 5 reasons to buy <a

Dutch ovens<\/a>:<\/p>\n<h4>Lodge Cast Iron Dutch Ovens are made in the USA<\/h4>\n<p>The Lodge foundry in the small town of South Pittsburg, Tennessee (population: 3,300!) makes some of the finest cast iron in the world. \u00a0 If you want to buy American, buy Lodge!<\/p>\n<h4>Lodge Cast Iron Dutch Ovens are great quality<\/h4>\n<p><div style=\"float:right;margin:3px\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.shareasale.com\/r.cfm?b=631169&u=124118&m=52974&urllink=&afftrack=\"><img decoding=\"async\"

enough--over 100 years. \u00a0If you stick around making something that long, you are bound to be doing something right. \u00a0 In fact, there are 100 year old Lodge Dutch Oven pieces that are still in use! \u00a0If you look at the <a

Cast Iron Dutch Oven reviews on Amazon,<\/a> they are always reviewed very highly. \u00a0The Lodge Logic 8 Quart Dutch Oven has 108 reviews at this time, and 102 of them are the highest rate, a 5!<\/p>\n<h3>The Lodge Logic 8 Quart Dutch Oven is Preseasoned<\/h3>\n<p>When you get a Dutch oven, you want to cook in it, right? \u00a0It used to be that you had to spend several hours seasoning cast iron cookware that you bought. \u00a0It was a time consuming, messy, smelly, \u00a0but absolutely necessary process. \u00a0No more! \u00a0The Lodge Logic 8 Quart Dutch Oven, like most of the other Lodge Dutch Ovens come pre-seasoned, so you can take it straight out of the box, rinse with hot water, apply a thin coat of oil, and start cooking!<\/p>\n<h4>The Lodge Logic 8 Quart Dutch Oven is a Great Size<\/h4>\n<p>Ok, so maybe it isn't perfect. \u00a0But it's probably one of the best sizes, unless you are just cooking for a couple of people. \u00a0It holds enough for you to be able to cook for 8 people. \u00a0At 12\" in diameter and 5\" deep, it's perfect for doing desserts, breads, stews, whole chickens, just about anything that you want to cook. \u00a0When you get much larger, the dutch oven gets reaaaaally heavy, and when you get too much smaller, you can't cook much in them. \u00a0 The 8 quart, 12\" diameter, 5\" deep Lodge Logic Dutch Oven is as close as you can get to the perfect size.<\/p>\n<h4>The Lodge Logic 8 Quart Dutch Oven Works Great with the Volcano Grill<\/h4>\n<p>The<a title=\"The Volcano Grill \u2013 Perfect for Dutch Oven Cooking\"
