we were a bit worried it would rain all week

thankfully it didn't except for a few spots one night

gazebo wasn't really an option either as the smoke traps underneath

(the smoke can get in your eyes sometimes, if you wear contact lenses they're brilliant!  or take some swimming goggles..lol )

Yay another dutch oven convert!

They are brilliant, I use mine at home too instead of a casserole dish - seems to cook the food quicker/better

My favourite dinner is the meatballs...........mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Does anybody in Sussex want to buy one of my 8 litre Dutch ovens - brand new, still packed?

What happened is this.....I submitted a "best offer" on ebay for a Dutch oven, forgot I'd submitted a best offer, and did a "buy it now" for one from another seller. Then, horror of horrors, my best offer got accepted, and I've ended up with 2! The 8 litre ones are normally £34.99 + £7.99 postage, I paid £31.00 + £7.99 postage, but if anyone local wants it then I'd be happy with £35.00 all in. Like I said, it's brand spanking new, the large 8 litre one, which is great for doing a big meal! It fits in a normal oven as well, and I also used mine on the gas hob.

If interested, then you can either leave a message here, or drop me an email at

p(blob)millis(env)sussex.ac.uk       in place of (blob) put a ".", and in place of (env) put an " at ". I'm in Woodingdean (5 minutes south of the A27 at Falmer), but could also deliver within a few miles.

Ta,

Pete

Hi Pigglet ,

It would appear that charcoal brickets are the way to get more consistent results.... Wood can vary so much ....type of wood and how dry it is , is going to affect the temperature it will produce....

check out this link ,

  http://www.uglybrothers.net/RECIPES/dutchoven.htm

At the bottom of the page there's a chart that tells you about the number of coals to use to achieve the required temperature...

Most of the Teardrop gatherings over the pond have 'pot luck dinners' , where everyone make something in a dutch oven, and they put all the cast pots on the table for everyone to share. Lucky dip.... A great idea....if we had more campsites that allowed open fires...

Cheers Dave
