Small cookbook

I will admit to being surprised when I got this at how small the book is, but its full of info and perfect for taking camping. I agree with others, there is no instructions on how many coals to use or for placement, but once you have used a DO a few times, it all becomes second nature. I use mine one the stove or in the oven. We don't camp often but I use my DO at least twice a week. With a recipe that needs a few hours to cook, I make it in the backyard on a charcoal BBQ'er and it works great. I have had no problems at all figuring out cook times and temps.

From an intriguing Peppermint Pound Cake to Potato Soup, here's a fine pocket presentation also reco

Many dutch oven cookbooks on the market are weighty and daunting: not so the 4th updated edition of a near-pocket guide Dutch Oven Cooking, which is perfect for taking along and meal planning for a camping trip. It's the outdoors orientation which differentiates this from similar-sounding, home-oriented coverages, offering up dishes perfect for campfires and overnights and moving the dutch oven from indoors to outside. From an intriguing Peppermint Pound Cake to Potato Soup, here's a fine pocket presentation also recommended for in-home use. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch
