Propane Dutch Ovens?

Postby mikeschn » Fri Aug 17, 2007 5:42 am

I was just playing with my new Stainless Steel propane stove, a Brinkmann of all things. They make those water smokers too.

So the question is, have they started making propane dutch ovens yet? :oops: Not quite like the propane crockpot that Brick posted a picture of...

Mike...

Mike, it would require a burner on the top and bottom to cook like a camp Dutch Oven :thinking: . I guess I could get a small no leg DO and put it in my TD's oven :roll: Danny

For years I used a kitchen type dutch oven (no legs and no ash gaurd) that I've had since back in my Boy Scout days, making beans and stews over a propane burner while camping. It works fine except you'r limited to what you can cook because of only having bottom heat.
Now that I've discovered both top and bottom heat, I liken using a dutch oven on a propane burner to having the coolest hotrod and only starting it up and letting it idle, instead of taking it out for a cruise...

He must haul a blast furnace around to cook on.

Nope... He uses briquettes.
He doesn't count individual briquettes like you and I.
He either counts them by the chimney or bag. :o

Hey Mike,

You might look at this link. I have not used one. Was thinking, oh that hurts, of making one. A round steel plate for the DO with leg to set on over the brner and then the top.

Let know what you think. I would like to come up with some way of using the DO on the cooktop for more than soups.
