A Dutch Oven is perfect for campfire cooking while you are RVing! You can easily simmer, sear, steam, or sauté anything you desire, and cleanup is exceptionally short and simple!
How To Use A Dutch Oven
Using a Dutch Oven to cook meals over the campfire is a method used commonly by campers who are off grid, or boondocking!
Household Dutch Ovens are different than Camping Dutch Ovens. Make sure your Dutch Oven is completely cast iron, with support legs, a flat bottom and a flat flanged lid so that coals can be placed on top. Helpful accessories for a Dutch Oven include a lid lifter, grilling gloves, metal tongs, liners and parchment paper, or even a tripod stand.
