Over this camping season I intend to reacquaint myself with dutch oven cooking. When I was a kid and we went camping, my mother would fix stews, ham and beans, roasts, etc. in the dutch oven. She'd put the ingredients into the pot, place it on a charcoal bed and cover the lid with charcoal, and then we'd go off and sightsee, swim, goof off or whatever, come back to camp in the evening, and sit down to some of the best food you've ever had.
ever have cobbler made in a dutch oven... that's the best. have not cooked with a dutch oven since my boy scout days
