@kingjames488 We don't actually sell products. We were intending to do a series on Dutch Oven Cooking (and still kind of do) but unfortunately it's been put on the back-burner quite a bit.

The idea of a trivet is to support the skillet or other pot/pan over the fire/embers. The dutch oven has its own legs so you can rake embers all around it, it should not need to be hung.

I see no hanging rings to support the griddle, perhaps you can show how to cook bread, pancakes, scones on the griddle without being able to set the temperature by height variation.

Heavy gauge aluminium (catering quality) is just as forgiving as cast iron used as a roasting pot.

@TheBeebopper Cast iron distributes the heat slower but more evenly. I have cooked with a real thick, large aluminium pan on a campfire before (mostly bannock) and I have still seen the instant heat conductivity that burns stuff as when using a thin ali pan, you just don't get this as much with a dutch oven.

@NaturalBushcraft Hi, What would you say was the largest size group you could comfortably cater for with the Box set and a tripod?

[micmoable]

How much does box set cost?

I take a dutch oven out to the fields with me during fieldwork. Stop at 10:30 am for a break, debone a chicken add some canned soups potato and other veggies to the dutch oven and throw it into a small hole with some charcoals. Put some on the lid and come back to it in 60 minutes for your ready meal. Chicken with bones takes 90 min. 5 inch rule works too. Hold your open hand 5 inches above the coals, if it takes 5 seconds for it to become uncomfortable, the temperature is roughly 350 deg F

there is a trivet made for cast iron dutch ovens that is a small piece of cast iron that fits inside the pot to hold a large slab of meat off the bottom while cooking. The stand supplied will also hold the lid over coals so you can use the inside for a frying pan. You can stack cook with dutch ovens also by placing then ontop of each other with coals top and bottom. of course larger to smaller as the stack goes up. I have complete sets of cast iron pans from Wagoner and Griswold. great clip

Are the other vids (cooking, cleaning, recipes) coming soon?

[pepperheadtoo]

I have heard that the lid of the Dutch oven also works well as a griddle when turned upside down !

[nephildevil]

this vid is more a commercial than a review and certainly not an introduction to using one of those things, thumbs down!

The dutch oven was an importent trade item for mountain men. The simple iron pot was highly prized by many Native American tribes. One great Cheyenne chief even took the name "Black Kettle".
