Does anyone use Camp ovens?
« on: September 20, 2021, 06:08:35 PM »
When I was building my wood-fired pizza oven, I incorporated a circle of fire-bricks on the side that can be used to cook over coals. Used it the other night when I prepared 'Succulent Braised Pork' in a 10" Lodge camp oven. Simmered it for 4 hours. Served over homemade fettucine.
Excellent, even though I am not a stew guy.

Now, that is downright cool! 'Course, if Shotgun Dave had one o' them, he'd be casting lead in it.

I resemble that remark.  *6'

That is an awesome Frenchy. Back in my Boy Scout days, I cooked in a Dutch Oven fairly regularly. Used to make stew in the pot, and biscuits on the lid.

I've got an old Dutch oven I used to use a lot but haven't used it in years. I do use my cast iron skillets a lot tho. Even my wife has started using them. (7+"

Well Hawg, I agree. It's pretty scary when you see the wife coming after you holding one of those things! :eek: (7+"
But seriously, crack out the old oven and use it. It's kinda fun going primitive, and the biscuits dont get better!
