Just saw a demonstration at www.OldSalem.org. They baked an apple pie in a dutch oven.

Russell. I plan to. I've done lots of outdoor cooking while working summers as a fishing guide while I was a student, and nothing beats it. Trying Dutch Ovens should be interesting and rewarding..

Pete, welcome anyway. Stick around, maybe you'll learn to like the real Dutch Oven. :-)

Ooops. I'm in the wrong place. I thought a Dutch Oven was when you fart and pull the sheets over your bedmates head.

I have been trying to figure a way out to use dutch ovens in not so perfect weather. I saw a Volcano Cook stove, actually 2 different styles but same concept, at Sportsman Warehouse and was wondering if anyone had experfience with them. Any one give some feedback on them?
Here is the link for a description of the stove http://www.volcano2.com/

I used one because a friend gave it to me. It didn't distribute the heat evenly. I used to get burnt parts in some dishes I cooked. After some time I figured out it was where coals were bunched unevenly. If you make sure you place your coals evenly you shouldn't have too many problems. Other than that I never had much of a problem with it. Although I did get rid of it. I like my cast iron.

At the risk of being smothered with hot coals, has anyone used (or knowledge of) a cast aluminum dutch oven? I am considering one just for the weight factor but don't know how they perform. I see they have anodized and unanodized also.

Russel The foil casserole pans I bought worked great. These liners are supposed to be a better fit. Casserole pans required bending and folding to fit. Even when using the liners spray with cooking oil spray so food doesn't stick to pan, works wonders. Even heavy duty foil works good but it tears easy.

Camping is indeed incomplete without Dutch Oven cobbler. My dad always made cobbler when we camped. I carry that tradition on with my kids. It's not camping without cobbler. Oh, and hobo stew.
Comment by Russel G. on September 25, 2009 at 4:37pm
I've seen those, at Cabela's I think. Let us know how they work. Cobblers are messy, but my kids don't consider a camping trip complete if we don't have a Dutch oven cobbler.

AoM site FAQ or customization tips

Anyone out there know of articles on how to use this site most efficiently? I don't see any sort of FAQ or tutorials.As an example, I noticed that there are a few guys on here that are very good at keeping up with many conversations, and I'd love to here your tricks.  It seems to be tricky to keep up on what's read and what's unread, for example.  I didn't see an option to customize the color or weight of visited links, nor does there appear to be an unread 'orb' - anything really.Are you guys…See More

5 fascinating reasons cockroaches will outlive us all

Ah, cockroaches. The scummy, skittering, pesky little pests that somehow manage to vanish whenever you flick on the bathroom light. Like Mother Nature's little Batmans. Part of what makes them so hard to control is their resiliency, which is something of a biological marvel. Here are five reasons the humble roach will outlive us all:1. They can adapt at a scary-fast rateIn the mid-1980s, exterminators began mixing sugary roach-bait with slow-acting poisons intended to spread and wipe out entire…See More
