If staying on a campsite that does not allow fire pits and wanting to use a dutch oven, is there anything on the market that allows to you to use one of these without damaging the grass? Are campsites funny about people using dutch ovens. They seem like a great way of cooking especially for a large family like mine, but don't want to invest in one if most campsites poo poo them. any thoughts on the subject please.

A Dutch oven is designed (centuries ago!) to use on the ashes or embers of a campfire but these conditions can easily be adjusted to modern day camping use.

Get about 10 egg sized briquettes going on a regular BBQ.

Put whatever you like in the D.O. and place four briquettes under the oven and six on top in as neat a circle as you can make it.

This will allow you to cook the content of a 10" ¾ gallon DO for about an hour which is enough for a chicken.

Make sure there are no embers 'spitting' on the grass and you're sorted. If you learn to adopt the 'business as usual look' and a well trained handling of BBQ, briquettes and DO, nobody will try and stop you.

Believe me: The neighbours will be climbing the fences because of the most wonderful cooking smells!
