Great video Stephen. I have both, the Camp Oven and the Dutch Oven, various sizes of each. All food cooked in either style of oven just tastes so much better than in an ordinary pan. Maybe it's just my imagination, maybe it's the added smell of the wood or coals as they burn mixed with the aroma of the food cooking. I've missed you here lately,good to see you back. I loved hearing the history of the beginning of the Dutch Oven. Thanks for sharing. Stan

[@castIroncookware]

What ever the reason, food does taste better in cast iron. I have really missed being as regular as I've wanted too. Hopefully I will get back on schedule.

[@johnndavis7647]

Lots of old wives tales about how these pots got their names. The story I was told is that the Dutch built brick ovens in their homes so pots didn't need legs or lids for coals. Camp ovens sometimes called trail ovens were made for open fires Or hearth cooking with coals. Thanks for the video and the scriptures.

I find that I cut a round 1/2” plywood base for the camp oven. It fits into the caring case and helps prevent the legs from breaking. It also works as a trivet on table tops.

[@castIroncookware]

Great tip. Thank you.

[@KatyInNH]

I saw somewhere that there is an alternative if one doesnt have the plywood circle. Just sit the lid on the bottom and the legs on top of the lid. It works well.

[@1990westfalia]

You are correct, the lid will help save the legs, however, I’ve found that the plywood trivet really helps save my but several times. Thanks for your suggestion. Skillet

[@randallhermanson7610]

thanks for making the distinction between the two. the camp oven can be used in the kitchen as well even though its designed for the campfire. i don't have a regular Dutch oven for indoors except for Lodge combo cooker. combo cooker seems more practical for kitchen but i have used it for campfire cooking as well. both types are interchangeable.

[@castIroncookware]

Yes, you just have to turn it so the legs will stick through the grates in the oven. So worth the effort.

[@howdy4596]

I love the camp oven . I go camping with an older eagle scout. And he has like 5 of them stacked on each other cooking 4 course meals with a dessert. That's when I found my love to learn to use cast iron.

[@castIroncookware]

That is awesome!

[@Threedog1963]

I bought what was called a "dutch oven" and after this video found out it is a camp oven. I wanted one without legs, but the store only had the one with legs. Good news is, on my gas stove, the legs fit in between the grates and puts the bottom down on the grates. Same with putting it in my oven. Gonna try a recipe on the charcoal this weekend. Thanks for the informative video.

You will have a great time and will most likely be hooked.

[@adventuresincampingwithcar8622]

All right, I'll give it to you. You've done your research and convinced me. I'm probably going to continue to call the camp oven a Dutch Oven, because "Carl". LOL I've been calling it that for at least 45 years and I'm a hard head. But never the less. I have been enjoying your video's and you seem to have your head screwed on pretty well. I have several "Camp Ovens" and a Dutch oven, ( It was hard to reverse that in my head.) some skillets and a couple kettles. I'm planning to start a series on Dutch Oven cooking, (camp Oven cooking) on my channel. I've been doing it with youth since 1985. Now it's time to pass on some of what I know. Great video.

Amen brother. You can call my cast iron whatever you’d like, as long as it’s made in Canada or the U.S.A. BTW: I took your suggestion to use flax seed oil to season the cast iron, 5 times through the oven process later nothing sticks to them and I seem to be getting better crusts on my baked breads, cornbread and meats. Vegetables (onions) also caramelize easier. Awesome! Correction I said walnut oil when I meant flax seed oil.

Best American made Dutch oven is a beautiful semi gloss black enamelled one made in New York's finger kake region by two artisans. It's called the Borough Furnace company. And it's cheaper and better than the Staub or Le Cruset ones. As for camp ovens, Paul Revere is purported to have invented the high rim lid that holds the coals in the top. I just discovered these two things on KZbin! Thank you.

[@marthasundquist5761]

Some of us place a couple flat rocks to raise the flat bottom and invert the lid to hold coals...but...you have to Ben carful removing the lids so you don't dump coals inside when you are done cooking or need to check progress. Really want to get a camp oven...

[@papawdan3770]

As usual, good job Stephen. Your terms and explanations make sense, even to a old country boy like myself. Lol. As you stated, get one Dutch Oven, then you would probably get another and maybe another. I've gotten four now and one recently acquired vintage camp oven. I think that camp oven is an older Lodge because of its handle, drippers and being unmarked except for 12 IN embossed on the lid. It needs a little TLC before it's ready to be used to cook a camp meal. But winter has already started in North Louisiana, so I'm not taking the grandkids camping anytime soon. Like the one that you show, mine has a rim around the lid to keep coals from scooting off the lid. But never have cooked using a camp oven before, I have a dumb question for you. Do the coals hurt the seasoning in any way? IE., after the cook, can you tell where the coals were located on the lid by difference in the seasoning color where coals were laying? And how do you clean the lid to remove all ash and coal particles? Idea for another video, maybe? Thanks for the videos, I enjoy watching them. I think that it's nice that you always end spreading the Word, especially now days. Your Louisiana friend.

[@castIroncookware]

Most people just use a good stiff brush to brush away the ashes from the outside. The seasoning on the inside usually holds up pretty well. As with all cast iron a certain level of regular maintenance is necessary. Maybe a little more so with the camp pieces. The main thing with the outside is protecting from rust more than holding seasoning.

i live on a long gravel driveway and I cooked on the gravel right in front of my garage.......I recently got the lodge cast iron table that holds up to two regular 10 or 12 size ovens or one 14 inch behemoth.......you put the coals and cook directly up on the metal surface of the table instead of having to bend over to the ground every time you make an adjustment.

Interesting video. A few points... 1) I have never heard anyone call it a camp oven. And I have never head of a camp oven cooking group. I have, though, heard it called a dutch oven and there are dutch oven cooking clubs, and even dutch oven cook-offs. Everything I have always seen called a camp oven is a box that looks like a mini home oven. Some go on a camp stove and some use a fuel themselves. 2) The term "dutch oven" as referring to a cooking pot with legs and lid with a lip to catch the coals and ash, had been around since (colonial time) before camping as we know it was even a thing. That being said, it was still interesting, albeit lacking a lot of context and dates.

[@jt4369]

I was born and raised in the Bay Area, California. I work professionally in this place we call “The Silicon Valley”, but I can tell you, you can forget about having a decent home-cooked meal or stew that puts some warmth in your belly. I’ve been camping with friends in Texas, Oklahoma and Alabama. There is something very very comforting about a camp cooked meal surrounded by the chatter of Deep South dialect and the sound of laughing and the crackling of a fire-and that’s saying something considering I’m Asian. Racism? The best solution is to use common sense: when in Rome, do as the Romans and certainly don’t talk down to people in their town. This is a rule that applies to all cultures universally. America. We have our problems, but we’ll be here t’morrow.

[@castIroncookware]

Well said. A world traveler friend of mine from the UK once told me that most peoples want the same thing. To see there children have it a little better than them. There is something special about setting around a camp fire and sharing a meal together.

[@samTollefson]

If you're cooking over a campfire it really makes no difference if your pot has legs or not, A heavy cast iron pot full of food will not sit above the coals on a fire on those little legs unless it is on a stone or steel surface. The only real difference is the ring on the lid for holding coals. An exception would be my African Potjie pots that have substantial legs 3" to 4" long that they will sit on dirt and allow you to place coals under it and they have a bit of a rim to place coals on the lid also, check one out, they have many advantages for outdoor cooking - I love mine!
