Dutch ovens
Okay, it is not really a technical 4x4 question, but lets face it no motorcyclist is going to carry arround a big lump of cast iron, and there is not a cooking section on the HUBB, so here goes:
back in Sept I happened to be attending a trade fair in Germany, part of which was dedicated to camping type stuff, on the last day from some fellow exhibiters I was able to snap up some bargains (chinese folding chairs for 5 euros a pop and a 'dutch oven' for a bargain 30. It is a damned hefty thing, but something appeals to me about a good old wood fire and a dutch oven bubbling away in it!! I know that it is totally impractical for a sahara trip, and it is pretty unlikely that an overlander would carry one, but for my mostly sahel type travelling it will come along. Anyway my long winded way of getting to the questions:
- anyone used one and got any good tips
- anyone know of any good links to recipes
I know that most good camp items have more than one use, this thing could also be used for washing up, fetching water from a well, emergency axle stand! the list goes on. Bonus feature is that I can use my highlift jack as some sort of pot hanging device, thereby also helping to justify carrying more massive bits of cast iron around! Thank god for firestone airbags!!
