Overview
Not a kitchen Dutch oven, this is a camp pot with three integral legs that hold it over hot coals. The flanged lid holds charcoal on top and can be flipped to serve as a griddle.
The legs, flange and handle make coal cooking practical for meats, sides and desserts. The weight is very high, and the listing gives two different diameters.
Who it's for
Campers, hunters and backyard fire cooks who want a large pot for stews, roasts and desserts over coals. Apartment cooks without an outdoor fire should choose a flat-bottomed pot.
Pros and cons
- Legs for coal cooking
- Lid holds coals
- Lid works as a griddle
- Pre-seasoned cast iron
- Conflicting diameter figures
- Hand wash only
Performance notes
Legs raise the pot above the coals so heat can be adjusted by moving coals, and the flanged lid lets coals sit on top for baking heat from above. Thick cast iron holds that heat steadily for long braises.
