Cooking Outside... Dutch Oven
Anyone else do Dutch Oven cooking outside with briquets? It is easy, fun, and a great way to make larger quantities of grub!
I "learned" a bit from the "master"... a guy who has a nice Blog/webpage with a section on Dutch Oven cooking... here is his link if you want to take a look:

That Cobb grill looks really cool - we were going to use a little Weber charcoal grill but I might have to check out that Cobb. Looks safer with little dogs running around since it stays cool too.
We use an electric starter or coffee can thing to get the coals going. The matchlight stuff and lighter fluid make me dizzy!

I love to use the dutch oven. I have a 12" which is pretty good for most things, but I would like to have a 10" some day.
Tonight I am making a pork roast stuffed with Ham, and heavily seasoned. Ours is made by Lodge. I even made a few upside down cakes.
And yes, the great part is all the leftovers, unless the rest of the campground is down wind when cooking...

What size Egg do you take with you? I just bought a large Egg. It is obviously not suited for travel, but I'd be afraid to even bring the small Eggs with me!
For those that don't know what a Big Green Egg is, it is a ceramic grill/smoker. http://www.biggreenegg.com/

Jennak, I bought a Cobb about a year ago. I thought I would love it, but instead I just like it. Instead of being a grill, it is more like a griddle or an oven. There is no way to turn off the draft once you are cooking, so there is no chance of saving any leftover coals. The fat and drippings fall off and too the sides, making it hard to clean.
The pluses? It can cook for hours on eight charcoal briquets. It acts as a small portable smoker. You can use it as an oven, fryer or skillet. It is very lightweight and the base remains cool to the touch.

Cadmus Master Bake Pot?
Hello! I just purchased and interesting piece of cookware for outdoor cooking with our Airstreams. Has anyone used one of these?I happen to find the 1920 recipe booklet too and its being mailed to me. Ebay item number is 270676603966 if you want to see the pictures. We have to do some restoration work on it first but my hubby will handle that as long as I promise yummy food later!

Just bought a small table-top propane barbeque.
Don't want to worry about cleaning ovens when I'm on the road!

My other is a 50 year old Coleman gas stove. Great for breakfast in the morning when everyone is asleep inside.

We cook outside using propane on a infrared grill ...or charcoal in a Weber...depending on the weather and fire restrictions. We prefer charcoal, and I do love the smell of charcoal lighter in the morning.

Brings back great camping memories as a kid - waking-up in a tent and smelling the Coleman. Mom's up making breakfast, and boy, am I hungry!

I use a cooking crane over the open fire it has a grill top and a crane for hanging a cast iron dutch oven.
A blacksmith made it for me and food tastes so good cooked over a hardwood fire

Fire starter
Hello to all,
I am new to the community (looking), but have been a camper for years. Laundry lint makes a great starter! I personally hang my laundry, but collect it from others. My husband is a bee keeper with loads of surplus wax. A den mother friend says mixing the lint & melted wax, then pouring into cardboard egg carton molds enables individual use. Haven't tried it yet, but understand the wax burns off without residue.

Hi Nurstratton.
Thanks for the info on the lint/bee wax/egg cartons, that sounds like a great fire starter.
I have also tried a method suggested by someone else on this forum -- cooking oil and newspaper. This worked, but I found it a little "iffy".

Electric Grill is great for Bacon & eggs, hamburger patties, & grilled cheese. Also travels easier than propane grill. However propane grill works better for me for things that are cooked in a pot.

I love the charcoal grill and chimney starter - it's dead easy, provides great heat, is easy to control - and natural charcoal. I also use a Coleman stove and a small propane grill, and love a campfire when there's time for that.

17" Blackstone grill on a folding Coleman table.
Because the Blackstone is sensitive to wind, I made some wind blockers.
Aluminum rectangles 4" x 10" x 1/8". each has two magnets attached with stainless hardware.
I made six, just because that's how Amazon sold the strips.
Stick 'em where needed! They store easily on the cooking surface.
Next, I need a small light for cooking after dark.
HINT: Cleaning the flat tops.
WalMart sells a bundle of 18 white wash cloths for about $4. I use those instead of paper towels, and when it gets grungy, toss it!
