this was my second try at cooking over my dutch oven, turned out great! everyone in camp loved them both.     it was pretty fun cooking over the campfire, and i think i had good advise for getting my pot seasoned, it seemed to work great!

I'm glad that the meal turned out well. Dutch oven cooking is really just an extension of cooking in the home (or commercial kitchen in my case). Once you understand a few basics, especially heat control, you're set and ready to go.

I'm always impressed by cooks who venture out and try more complex dishes on the first couple of Dutch oven experiences. Good job ...
