Dutch oven cooking

[Phils]

Hey Robert,

Be sure and lemme know if a gathering starts taking shape. Yep, DO cooking would be the way to go (see the attachment I first posted). You are only a couple of hours away. Heck, if people aren't picky, I'd welome the gathering at my place. Better if during burn season... open fires are pretty hazardous from May to October.

I think we qualify as "Gold Country" as our parcel was a goldmine 125 years ago, and still has remnants and scars. One of the biggest goldmines (hydraulic) in the country (Cherokee) is about 1/4 mile away. I've looked, metal-detected, dredged, etc., but haven't found anything more than dust -- maybe they got it all.

This is one of the recipes, for the blackberry cobbler. There are tons of others at this site too...

Thought about it for a moment... Guess our recipes would be challenging... I assume you measure in metric units instead of cups, teaspoons, tablespoons, pounds ect?

Robert,

The word cobbler i have never heard before. I looked at the recipe for Blackberry Cobbler and it sounds good so i will try it in the Dutch oven in three weeks time on the banks of the river on the houseboats maiden voyage

Hey Vin, did you try that recipe?

I'd forgotten that you said you would when you launched the houseboat. I was reviewing this thread to get some information for a church youth camping trip coming up, and came across your comment.

If you tried it, how'd it turn out? Did you like it?

Best seasoning is good old fashioned LARD, IMO. And for cleaning, when you need to scrub, try vegetable oil and salt. (I prefer olive oil.) The oil doesn't disolve the salt, so it acts as an abrasive - but not as hard on the pot as sand would be.

If you like Dutch ovening, but don't have a campfire handy, check out the Volcano stove. My F-I-L gave us one for Y2K, and it's pretty handy. Too small to replace a regular barbeque for our family, but just right for a couple or maybe 4 people. But it's hard to beat for doing some Ducth oven cooking on your deck. You can set it right on your wooden picnic table and cook away.

I think that's the company site - but it may be a dealer. I just found it via a search, so caveat emptor.
