It must have been a nice price! It's out of stock!

Here is a good place to shop for that Dutch Oven that works best for you. I have a 12" deep, and an 8". The small one works great when i go it alone.

Jim & Rod,

Sorry you missed it----but we got one!

Lodge has those for $55 as I recall, plus s&h!! Quite the deal, I snapped it up.

It has already arrived at home, can't wait to try it out when we return in a few weeks. Some of the problems we have had with the larger one (burning) is probably because we are not filling it to the capacity needed for the size and number of briquets. But there's just the two of us most of the time.

I expect we will use the smaller one more often.

Hey anyone out there want to get an Air Stream DOG going this summer or early fall? We could compare our cooking skills and help others that might want to know more about how to clean and care for their equipment. We could even make it a rally for other Air Streamers. I would even start it. If you are interested let me know. I live in Dandridge, TN. We have campgrounds all around here. I can cook using a Dutch Oven and it is edible.

Lily&Me · 03-14-2009, 12:22 PM

That sounds interesting, but would depend on when it occurred. We are in central Illinois and will be gone east from late July-Nov 1.

Well - I did my first ever dutch oven dinner and it turned out really good!

Earlier today, I called 2 of my neighbors and asked them if they wanted to be a part of a culinary experiment. They said sure - they were up for it. I tried Byron's Dutch Oven Recipes - Calico Chicken as my first Dutch dinner and it turned out great! I was wondering if it was going to work and sure enough it did. When they saw the whole set-up with the briquettes, the DO table and the DO itself they were all wondering what was going to happen. (Quite frankly, so was I). It was pretty successful and our guests enjoyed the treat!

My confidence level is pretty good right now!

Lily&Me · 03-16-2009, 06:14 AM

Good for you! Glad it was successful. I have bookmarked Byron's website and am going through it---really wonderful. I picked up a couple of years ago a book entitled "Camp Cooking" by the National Museum of Forest Service History, which is also good and has a lot of other great information in it. Everything is Dutch Oven cooking, including outdoor ovens and digging the pits/burying your oven in coals for the day---not quite ready for that.

Have fun!

Going to the Oregon Coast(Beverly Beach State Park) for spring break with the grandkids. Planning on DO cooking two meals a day for a week. I will try to remember to use the camera. Will post the Good, Not-so-good and the throw aways when we get back.

That will be fun! Our grandkids love monkey bread made in the Dutch Oven. We are doing a long weekend family thing in May, where grandma & grandpa will do most of the cooking, in the Dutch ovens.

We visited the Lodge Factory store off I-40 in Tennessee yesterday, really pretty cool place, there is a huge Coleman store and Smoky Mountain Knifeworks (which have much more than knives) right across the road. The Lodge store also carries all the Rome cast iron pie-irons, and we picked up a waffle iron to add to our collection.

It is a good idea to Google cast iron cookware, when ordering online, as there are sites that offer Lodge cookware sometimes at very good sale prices. We got a grill pan two years ago half-price, with free shipping. Lodge direct prices are rather high, we think.

We had a blast even though the weather was not so desirable. We were able to get some great meals made. Dad was even able to bake a perfect double layer cake.

Wow, a double layer cake! I am really impressed! Our 8" Dutch oven is adorable, and we picked up a carry/storage bag for it. Can't wait to try it out.

We stopped by the lodge store on our way home from North Carolina yesterday, and I picked up my first ever Dutch oven....we got a good deal on the 14" 8 qt shallow set...and then i picked up the deep 14" from the dent--section.....can't wait to try it out.

James Rogers · 05-05-2009, 07:46 PM

I went to the Corn Bread Festival last weekend. It was in South Pittsburg, TN. This is also where the Lodge factory is. After touring the plant we went into the main store. I was looking for a 12" deep. I found one but the price was $79.00. A little steep so I started looking around in the rest of the store. In the other room was the same oven for $49.99. A second but I could not tell what was wrong with it. So I bought 2 at the $49.00 price. We also bought a few more things. I also got to meet Johnny Nix.

I just returned from camping with the East TN Unit in Walland, TN. If you want a great lid lifter you should go to the camping and hiking shop at the far end of Townsend [close to the National park entrance]. Don't buy your Dutch Oven there, the prices are really high. A 12' Deep was $99.00 and I bought 2 for that price.

Maybe I'll see some of you at the Springstream rally in Hiawassee, Georgia, on May 15, 2009.

Lily&Me · 05-06-2009, 05:55 AM

We have found that googling Lodge Cast Iron turns up many places who sell it, often on sale and with free shipping, worth the time to look if you are ordering something.

We have used our 8" several times now, and it is the perfect size for the two of us. A jar of Cracker Barrel cobbler filling with a topping is just enough for dessert one night and breakfast the next morning.

Pillsbury crescent roll dough with a little cinnamon sugar on top makes a nice, easy topping, everything bakes up in 20-30 minutes.

I have had a few people email me about putting together a Dutch Oven Air Stream rally. So here goes.
Date: October 2 & 3, 2009
Where: Ripplin’ Water Campgrounds
Sevierville, TN

Ripplin’ Waters Campground is located 5 miles off I-40 at Exit 407. I will see if I can get a few sites on the river reserved for us.

Keep an eye on this sight for more details. I am trying to learn how to make a thread so we can have only the DOG traffic.

Tell everyone you know the DOG[ Dutch Oven Gathering]

Jim

Lily&Me · 07-13-2009, 06:07 AM

We would so love to be there, will be in Pennsylvania at that time!

Have a great time and cook some wonderful things for us, we will try to be at the next one!

Jim,

Sounds like a fun weekend. I recommend you start a thread for this and make sure and get it on the rally calender so that it gets maximum exposure. If I am still in TN at that point, I may head over myself.
