Very Nice Dutch Oven!
Used this at our last camping / hunting trip and it was a big hit. We cooked a nice sized rooster in it with room to spare! We prepped the ingredients, put it over the fire and went hunting. After a long, slow cook over the fire, we returned to a falling-off-the-bone chicken stew (taters, onions, celery, carrots, salt & pepper) that was about the best camp meal you could ask for! If you're going to use it at a primitive campsite, I recommend picking up (or making) a tripod system where you can hang it by a chain over the fire. We cooked all our meals that way and it worked perfectly. The lipped lid is great too - you can take some coals from the fire and put them on top to help speed the process. Do yourself a favor and get yourself a lid lifter, a good pair of fire gloves, a plastic scrub brush and a whisk broom for brushing the lid off (you don't want ashes spoiling your hard earned dinner!). Also, read the manual that comes with it so you understand how to take care of, and use, your oven. I also recommend joining the Dutch Oven Cooking group on yahoo. You'll get great information on how to spin the lids for a tight fit, cook in them, hook up with other like-minded Dutch Oven folks in your area, etc. Now for the negative: I did have to send the first one back as the lid rocked quite a bit (about 1/8"). A bit too much for a Dutch Oven, and a bit disappointing based on what I read about Lodge's reputation. You want the lid to fit pretty good so that you can build up a bit of pressure inside the pot and, more importantly, not lose your cooking heat. In the outdoors, efficiency is important! All-in-all, though, you can't beat Lodge for overall quality, and you can't beat Amazon for customer service. The return process was pretty effortless and the second oven had a lid that fit with very good tolerance (like 1/16" or less). Read carefully: A little bit of lid rocking is okay!!! Following the trip, a scrub down with water and a brush, followed by drying and applying a light coat of olive oil, made it look brand new - even after it had been exposed to open flames and hot coals directly on the lid. So, aside from having to do a what I think was a little quality control for Lodge, I'm very happy with my purchase and recommend this product. I'm giving it 5 stars because, in the end, I got great customer service and an affordable (dare I say beautiful? Yeah, I love it!) oven that will last *literally* for generations!

A Piece of History You Can Own and Use
I've debated if I would ever buy a Lodge Camp Dutch Oven. I already own a couple of indoor dutch ovens. My wife asked what I wanted for Father's Day, and I told her your going to think I'm crazy. She said I already think your crazy, so what is it? I said a Lodge Camp Dutch Oven. We are in our 50's, and our camping days have long since passed us by. But I've am intrigued by Camp Dutch Ovens, the history of them, how they work, and I wanted to learn how to cook with one. So I got my Lodge 8qt Deep 12 inch dutch oven from Amazon.com for this year's Father's Day. I read a lot about them on the internet. I found out that the rimmed edge on the lid was invented by Paul Revere, who was mostly know as a silversmith. I also learned the Lewis and Clark expedition had two items that they would not barter, or trade to the Indians. Their guns and their dutch ovens. That kind of tells you of the importance of their dutch ovens to them. The Lodge company has been in business since the 1800's. I have a Great-Grandfather who went from Missouri to California and back in wagon trains in the mid 1800's, and I'm sure he probably used a dutch oven along the way. This was a chance to own and use a piece of history in your hands. I tried the dutch oven out today for the first time. I cooked BBQ country pork ribs out on my patio and they turn out terrific! On Father's Day we invited the In-Laws over and I will be making Red Neck Kielbasa Stew. I'm impressed how the dutch oven works. I use briquettes on the top and bottom. I've always been impressed with the quality of Lodge products, made in the USA, they last forever, I would not by any other brand. They are worth the price if you are buying for the long run, don't skimp and get an inferior chinese product. I also realized that this item could be very useful if a disaster ever hit and we lost power. I could cook outdoors if I had to. It's so versitile you can, fry, bake, roast, stew, etc. I am so looking forward to trying out many new recipies, such as peach cobbler, pizza, mountain man breakfast to name a few. I like U.S. History, I like to cook, and I like to eat. I'm lucky to have an understanding wife of 29 years that let me indulge in my hobbies. I going to be having a very good Father's Day, this year and for years to come.

Completes my Dutch Oven Tower
Updated with a photo 7-15-2020. My grandmother's Martin cowboy skillet/spider skillet is on bottom, a Camp Chef No 10 in the middle, the Lodge No 8 on top. Top two have biscuits in them, bottom had a breakfast casserole. The Lodge lives up to Lodge's reputation. Very pleased with it. ***Bought from the Amazon Warehouse as an open box or perhaps returned. Arrived in a few days. Packaged in original box but it had been opened and taped shut with that scotch tape that has strings in it, so not by Amazon. It had the original box, packaging, and cookbook/owners manual with it. My 2 year old granddaughter had me read it to her over coffee yesterday - to each their own I guess*** I inherited my grandmother's 80 year old 12" spider skillet (looks like a footed dutch oven, only with a long pan handle instead of a bail) early last year. Being big on camping with my horses and friends and family and THEIR horses, I wanted to learn to cowboy cook. A few youtube videos and some reading later, I baked my first 5 layer breakfast casserole at camp last Easter in my grandmother's skillet, I was hooked on camp cooking, specifically with all the cast iron I inherited. Later last year, my dad made a tripod for me at his welding shop out of electrical conduit, complete with adjustable chain and hook. An scavenged charcoal grill grate with chains allows me to grill over the camp fire or keep the coffee warm. Back to the dutch ovens - I now own a previously owned 14" no name (base of the tower) my grandmother's 12", a Camp Chef 10" and this Lodge 8". I have not used it yet. Lid fits tight, no wobble (Unlike the camp chef) and the feet are sturdy, substantially sized (Unlike my 14", which has thin, almost spindly looking feet). I found no imperfections in it. Seasoning is good, but obviously a very light starter coat. I would say this size is good for small things, like a small pan of cornbread, a small (Or just a deeper) peach cobbler, perhaps some camp taters (Canned sliced potatoes, bacon, onion, can of cream of mushroom, cheese), a side dish, something like that.

The Absolute King of the Campfire – Massive Capacity and Easy to Maintain!
If you are cooking for a large group or a big family at the campsite, the Lodge 10-Quart Camp Dutch Oven is the ultimate workhorse. It is a serious piece of American-made iron that handles everything from massive stews to deep-dish cobblers with ease. What makes this the gold standard: Enormous Capacity: At 10 quarts (14-inch diameter), this thing is a beast. You can easily feed 12–14 people. It’s the perfect size for a whole chicken with veggies or a giant batch of "mountain man" breakfast. True "Camp" Design: The three integral legs are a lifesaver—they allow the oven to sit perfectly over hot coals without smothering them. The flanged lid is also brilliant; it’s designed to hold hot coals on top for even 360-degree heating, and you can even flip it over and use it as a griddle for eggs or bacon. Surprisingly Easy to Clean: Despite its size, cleanup is a breeze. Because of the quality pre-seasoning, food releases easily. Usually, a quick scrub with a stiff brush and hot water is all it takes to get it back to its original state. As long as you dry it thoroughly and give it a light coat of oil, it stays in perfect condition. Superior Heat Retention: Being Lodge cast iron, it heats evenly and holds that temperature for a long time. Once you get this pot up to heat, it stays there, which is essential when you're dealing with the fluctuating temperatures of an outdoor fire. Heavy Duty Bail Handle: The wire handle is thick and secure, making it easy to move or hang from a tripod if you want to cook over an open flame rather than directly on coals. Final Verdict: Yes, it is heavy (about 28 lbs), but that’s exactly what you want for durable, lifetime outdoor cookware. It is virtually indestructible and will likely be something you pass down for generations. If you take your outdoor cooking seriously and need to feed a crowd, this is the best investment you can make.
