My friend God created this so that you can bake outdoors with charcol so you don't heat up the house--two of them and you'd be sitting on the porch having a beer while it all cooked--

I also have a 12" one of these--but overall I prefer the Lodge--

For things like cornbread or cakes I rarely just grease the insides and pour batter in as I usually will use a cake pan as it's just easier to get it out and makes cleanup also easier.

A few years ago my best friend and his lovely bride were here at the end of July and she'd never eaten anything cooked in a Dutch over coals--I damn near dug a hole in my backyard to do the pot roast underground but I don't think my landlord would be very understanding.

The roast, bread, potatoes, carrots gravy and even the cobbler were all cooked outside in 100+deg heat in my Dutch Ovens.

Ya need to get you one Charlie-----------
