A word of Caution (again)

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.

I apparently had a problem with my software as everyone received this as a
blank message. I hope this one goes through.
