It covers part of the history of the Dutch oven, to answer those questions that arise when cooking for a group, to the easiest ways to regulate the temperatures of the coals and coal placement. There are the simplest recipes that work good for Boy Scouts to more advanced recipes to please any palette. There are recipes that are just fun and interesting, such as gator ribs, prickly pear cactus salsa and many more just to tease you into trying them. The recipes are a collection form over 50 years of cooking with Dutch ovens. Dutch oven coking was a lost art reserved to a small minority, that is swiftly becoming a favorite of more and more people. When cooking with a Dutch oven, the main thing to remember is "If it smells done it's done, If it smells burnt it's burnt, if it don't smell, it ain't done!". Enjoy !
