I have read with interest all the dutch oven posts. I wish to add that =
caution must be exercised with the aluminum varieties. At a scout-o-rama =
twenty years ago my troop was baking pies in an aluminum one and a cast =
iron one. The fire was a mix of hardwood & charcoal briquets. We didn't =
know it but you create blast furnace heat when you mix these. My =
assistant scoutmaster picked up the aluminum oven to remove it from the =
fire with the pie still in it and when he looked down at the fire the =
pie was still there with the bottom of the oven underneath it. The dutch =
oven had an approximate 9" hole in the bottom. While it was and is =
comical, we lost a dutch oven which had to be replaced. Thought you =
might be interested. Beware of the amount of heat you apply to aluminum. =
It was BSA issue oven.
