15 years ago I came across this book. Since then I and my family have enjoyed dozens of meals cooked in dutch ovens, both while camping and at home. All of my dutch oven cooking was not from this book, but this book taught me how. I was a complete novice. I didn't even know what a dutch oven was. Now I'm called on for every local block party in Mount Prospect, Illinois to cook my famouns secret cobbler recipies. Well they are all from this book. Great for beginners!

A good inrtoduction on preparing and cooking with a Dutch oven on charcoal. There is a section on Dutch oven tools that has good ideas but leaves out a charcoal starter which I use all the time. The book also includes a lot of recipes and good ideas.
