Its sad to say as we emptied out the old 30' Trailer and moved items to the R-pod I had to reduce the amount of Dutch ovens. Now I only carry 1 #10 and 2 #12 Ovens. We used to have 5 with us. I make a lot as I cook as it tends to bring the other campers out looking at what we have made.

Samples anyone???

I thinkthe first thing a personshould learn about Dutch oven cookingis how to control the heat. Mostof the cooking is done on thetop of oven. As a general rule,you should have twice as muchheat on the top of the oven asyou do on the bottom. That iseasy if you are using charcoal.You can simply count them. Ifyou are using coals from a fire,it depends on what kind ofwood you are using and hardwoods seem to work the best. Youjust have try some and see whatworks the best. Any wood willwork ,but you will find thatsome is surely better. I useonly Kingsford charcoal becauseit is always the same. ]]> Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:30:45 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=908&PID=8338#8338
