Dutch Oven honor requirements

Sample Recipes for honor

OK, I confess another reason that there is now a page included for Dutch Oven cooking is that I wanted to learn to use the Dutch oven that I have.  So I guess while I'm learning I'll write about it.  So far I have my Dutch oven, a metal oil pan so that I don't have to make a mess of the ground and a bag of charcoal.  I also have a bunch of recipes that really look great that I want to try out this year. 

But first things first:
Where do I get a Dutch oven?  Here are a couple of manufacturers.  Lodge is a company located in South Pittsburgh, TN that makes cast iron products which includes Dutch ovens.  MACA Supply Company is another manufacturer.

When you purchase a Dutch oven make sure that it is a camp Dutch oven.  This type has a flanged lid that will hold the charcoal coals on it, and help keep ashes from falling in the pot when you are checking the food. Another thing to look for is one that has integral legs for campfire and fireplace cooking. 

Here are several links that will help get you started.
