Recently, I posted a picture of one of my Dutch ovens with food in it, in the Introduction forum. One person mentioned she'd not seen that style D.O. (legged) before. As I've done a pretty fair amount of cooking in those old black pots, both patio and in camps, I thought I'd post a picture of my "cookware."
Bottom to top.
A Lodge 14 " D.O. I have another exactly like it but my wife thought it'd look nice beside the fireplace ... with her collection of pine cones in it. :-D
Next two above are Lodge 12" Dutch ovens.
Next is a BSR 10" Century.
Atop that 10" Century is an ancient 10" Dutch oven, a bottom gate mark but otherwise unmarked, without the lid. It has a welded crack in the side from long, long ago.
It has been in my family, according to my late mother and grandmother, for over 125 years. Because there is no lid which was lost (broken??) many, many years ago, I've only used it to make a couple of cobblers and cornbread in our kitchen oven. Ordinarily it sits in an honored position on the kitchen counter beside the stove with a couple potatoes, onions, and raw garlic in it.
In addition, there is a lid stand or trivet, and four different lid/pot lifters. Two are factory made, two were homemade for me by a friend who was a welder.
That's my collection of Dutch ovens, three legged camp ovens. Many a good meal has been cooked in them and I'd not be without a couple, no matter.
