Interesting.Lewis and Clark carried one.Mtn Men did,there's a historical statue in Utah that front of cart has a dutch oven,Martha Washington in her will left cast iron to her heirs.

A good source used to be a BSA (Boy Scouts of America) handbook.
I haven't looked in one for years, but I remember reading about camp cooking in a dutch oven there.

Yup,a big part of BSA apparently,many fine youtubes of scout cooking.

Recently saw a cookbook where the lid was inverted and buscuits were cooked on it while the rest of the contents cooked. Interesting idea.

I enjoyed this article about Dutch oven cooking from backwoodshome.com:

And another from Scouting magazine:

Probably doesn't count but I use mine nearly every weekend as a slow cooker. No recipes to share since I just use normal recipes.

Cast iron "camp" dutch ovens are big among the teardrop trailer crowd:

I have several but have never attempted the classic stack technique of putting one on top of another.

Love to collect this stuff. I have more cast iron than flashlights!


.

kind of the original crock pot idea. just about any crock pot recipe can be readily adapted to dutch ovens and vice versa.

Cant wait to get through those sites this week,thank you!
