Very helpful!

Everything you need to know to get started with cast-iron dutch oven cooking. Clear, complete, usable recipes and directions.

Great Cookbook!

I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn how to cook in a dutch oven using coals. It has GREAT recipes and tells you exactly how many coals to put on the top and bottom of the pot. Everything we have tried so far has been GREAT! Has one of the best chili recipes you will ever find and once you cook it in the dutch oven, you will never go back to cooking it on the stove again! Highly recommend this book!!!

Great book for beginers

I was asked to take some of the teenagers at church camping this summer and didn't really have much Dutch oven experience other than when I was camping as a youth. So I got this book and MANY others from the library. This was my favorite book and after flipping through it I realized that I wanted to make copies of about 1/2 of the book, so instead I order one for the church to keep and pass it off to the leaders in charge of camping next year. The book has a lot of great how-to info that I found very helpful, but you don't necessarily have to read all of that to use a recipe. Each recipe tells you how many coals to put on top and how many to put on bottom. That made it SO much easier for me.

Great book for the beginner.

I found this book extremely informative concerning the basics of Dutch Oven Cooking. I am just starting out and the information provided has been very beneficial. The author covers everything you need to know getting started. The recepies are very good as well. If you are starting out Dutch Oven cooking I would highly recommend this book.

A good choice

I got this cookbook even though there were no reviews, something I usually never do, but I'm glad I did. A few of the recipes rely on packaged foods which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, but overall there are a lot of recipes I'm excited to try. the book is the perfect size for taking along camping, or for just storing in the kitchen, and its a great price. The book has a lot of info on DO, care, how to cook with charcoal, etc. and in the back is a section on cooking for crowds which is very helpful for feeding large gatherings. Overall I'm very happy with this cookbook
