freeper peanut gallery made peach cobbler in hers
Note: The pioneers on the wagon trains west
had really large cast iron dutch ovens that could
make enough for hundreds of people.
Bread, roasts, everything.
When we would go deer hunting sometimes I would dig a hole
build a fire in it, then wrap the dutch oven in foil
cover it with coals and then rebury it. Come in from
hunting in the evening, dig it up and what a dinner!
Cobbler, dump cake, buscuits, pot roast, you name it.
Had three different sizes. Just have to season them
from time to time, and no soap, just scrub them out
with hot water.
I’ve got a Lodge camp Dutch oven that is made for use in the great outdoors. Has feet, a wire handle, and a tool for moving it around. It’s great for making cobblers. Used to use if for that at Sebring and Road Atlanta, and was very popular with my neighbors. Just uses a few pieces of self-starting charcoal.

I’ve also got a big 8 qt oval Kirkland (Costco store brand) Dutch oven that I think is made by Staub. It’s great for making beef bourguignon.
