Mama, Bag, Tom, Willie, Chris<br><br>Thanks to you guys, I can happily report a successful venture with kids and the Dutch Oven. The tips were VERY helpful and, although I can't claim any real proficiency, we had a GREAT time and no ptomaine! We went to the Hayward area in northern Wisconsin which IMHO is truly "God's Country."<br><br>I dug a pit in the back 40 and practiced as much as I could. You guys would have giggled yourselves to death if you had seen my first few attempts (ok more than "few"). <br><br>The sites you gave me were great. I think the best for a beginner to read first is the 'ol buffalo cook (Tom's First Link).<br><br> Willie-The Monkey bread and Dump Cobbler were huge favorites. Thanks again....<br><br>Robb<br><br><br>
