Comments about Lodge Logic Dutch Oven - 4 Qt.:
I've been wanting a dutch oven for years for many reasons. Mostly to experiment with what was possible and to begin my experience of cooking from scratch in the woods.
I know Lodge is a quality product with a legendary status, and I know its guaranteed 100% by REI.
I used it for the first time on a planned week long trip to The Current River, part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Park System here in Missouri. By the way these rivers (including Jacks Fork, and Eleven Point rivers) are the hidden gem of the midwest!
I used it to cook pre-packeged biscuits, fried potatoes, a large chuck roast with potatoes and carrots, a heaping vegetable beef stew and pra-packaged cinnamon rolls.
I used a mixture of charcoal briquettes and coals from fires..and although briquettes are recommended I had better luck with coals. It seems more even. I didnt have to worry about rotating the top so much.
I did have a small issue with a burn on bottom because I put too many briquettes underneath in an attempt to speed up the process
this is not the way to cook...slow and low is the best tempo and overall, with frequent checks, I avoided burning anything too badly, other than my first set of biscuits.
I also invented a new dish by frying/roasting potatoes with onions and tony chacheres cajun seasoning until almost done, added eggs over the top at the end, all the time while cooking bacon...making bacon milk gravy' with the bacon grease, and at the end adding the milk gravy to the whole thing with bacon on top for what I now call Breakfast Slop!
It did rust very quickly so follow the instructions regarding cleaning and storage. In fact it rusted overnight, when I didn't follow them, but was quickly fixed with some oil and a paper towel. I did not add water, as instructed, but watched things closely to avoid burning and I think you could skip those instructions in the manual.
Overall a good product with many uses. No way I'm backpacking with this thing!!!! For canoe trips and car camping, a welcome, albeit heavy, addition to my kitchen.
I look forward to many more dishes, eventually from scratch, that I can make with this time tested and quality product.

Comments about Lodge Logic Dutch Oven - 4 Qt.:
This dutch oven does everything a dutch oven should. Seems to be cast well. I like the fact that is has the little wall around the top of the lid to keep the coals on there. It has all the pros and cons of cast iron cookware. It doesn't come with the lid lifter or any accessories. This is a good thing because you don't have to buy one every time you buy a dutch oven if you're like me and have multiple ovens.
