TC-You know, I've tried it that way with the preheated pan like many do, but I like mine best just starting off with the room temp pan. Now I know that with cast iron you have to get it screamin' hot...

Roy-We did a lot of those hobo dinners in foil when my boys were younger Cub Scouts and Webelos. We once made about 6-dozen assembly line style for a huge campout for boys and parents; I was always...

Roy-One of the few things I miss about being a Scoutmaster was that I used troop money, bought some quality dutch ovens and gear, and got our troop seriously into dutch oven cooking. It just wasn't a...
