I have never used one and have little clue what I'm doing but just received a brand new Boy Scouts of America Engraved 6-Quart Cast Iron Dutch Oven by Lodge Logic from a group where I volunteer. I'm very excited. The French Creek Spring Opener could be memorable. :omg:
In my many years of camping, I've never purchased one because I'm afraid it will rust when stored in the campers and it's damp. I'll have to figure it out.
Joe, I learned that if you put a folded paper towel on two sides of the lip edge, then put the lid on will prevent the grease on the inside from going rancid and it will let the inside breath and not rust as well! Happy Dutch Oven Cooking! Or come to our southeast rally and we'll feed ya some good D.O. cooking! :baseballhat: I need a smiley face with a fire helmet!

What's 40 more pounds at this point? I'm not giving up the camp kitchen, 10x10 canopy, 2 burner stove, crock pot, 12v blender, 40c coffee pot, weber grill, griddle or other stuff I use.
But will you need a DO cooking table as well? 😮

They make a dutch oven cooking table?
Yes, this way you don't have to bend over to cook. Some people make their own, I took the bottom third of a oil drum and put handles on the sides. Up side down for cooking on, right side up for storing my dutch oven gear in. Also the table / drum keeps you hot coals off the damp ground.
Great idea TMMull! how many ovens can you carry or store upside down? I have a 12" and 10".
At my local Lowes Home Improvement Store, they have a 4' fold up table I am looking at with a tan color platic top. I am thinking of purchasing it, take one side of plastic top off and have a metal top made with about 2 1/2 inch lip all around 3 sides to put back on. I see where screws on table frame screw plastic top on, when new top made, I would bolt top on. Legs would still fold up for storage. This table is marked down to $36.00 at Lowes. Something to ponder and save money of a Dutch oven table. :thumbsup:

I carry a 12", 10" and 8". The 8" goes inside the 12" in one storage bag and the 10" goes in another bag with the utensils, trivet, etc. The 12" sits flat, the 10" on it's side and the charcoal chimney (with the liter fluid, lid lifter and chain for the tripod) takes up the remaining space.
I'm sure everyone has one of these somewhere in there house (at least those of us that are over 40!!). Been using it for years. Works out perfect.

However, I did just purchase and new Camp Chef DO table since I joined IDOS and Central Oklahoma Dutch Oven Society because I don't want to look like a junk dealer while I'm cooking for large groups!!!!
