This 4 qt portable “camp stove” is the pot that does it al. Flanged lid for hot coals inverts for use as griddle. Integral legs on oven for campfire and fireplace cooking. Seasoned and ready to use. 10 inch diameter, 3-1/2″ deepRelive the vivid pleasure of childhood camping meals with this 4-quart cast-iron Dutch oven. Cast iron creates superior heat retention, heats evenly, and loves a campfire, unlike flimsier pans. Use the wire handle to set this heavy-duty three-legged oven in a bed of coals and pile more on top–its flanged lid keeps coals from rolling off. At 10 inches in diameter and 3-1/2 inches deep, this oven holds a crowd-pleasing heap of stew, fruit cobbler, or cornbread. While the skillet comes preseasoned to prevent food from sticking, it works best when sprayed or lightly coated with vegetable oil before use. When cared for properly, this virtually indestructible pan should last for generations. –Ann Bieri

Camping Cookware Review by JimQPublic for Lodge Logic 4-Quart Cast-Iron Camp Dutch Oven

People seem to either love, hate, or have total disinterest in cast iron cookware. I love it. It seems to have a lot more soul than “modern” utensils.
I’ve been reading “Little House on the Prarie” to my daughter and she enjoyed hearing how the Ingalls used a pot just like daddy has.
This dutch oven is quite versitile. I can use it with campfire coals, with charcoal, over my Coleman campstove, or in the oven at home. The legs are too long to use on my rangetop at home (without risking damage to the range surface).
Dutch oven cooking is an acquired skill (on top of the general cast iron learning curve), but I’ve had no problems so far. I have mostly used it to make chicken or beef stew when camping.
Once you get hooked on dutch ovens, then you start wanting accessories. I use a charcoal chimney to start the coals, a pair of metal tongs to move the coals around, and a metal oil drain pan to contain the coals. I’ve just ordered a Lodge lid lifter, lid rack, and leather gloves to make the whole process a bit easier and safer.
I’m also already thinking of my next dutch oven. It will be the “deep” 8 quart. The 4 quart being reviewed here is 10″ diameter at the lid and 3-1/2″ deep. The “deep” 8 quart is 12″ at the lid and 5″ deep. (The standard depth 12″ oven is 6 quarts, the standard depth 8 quart is 14″ diameter). For soup or stew I like to leave some space below the rim so I probably only get 3 quarts in the 4 quart model, while the deeper 8 quart model would allow a greater percentage of the volume to be used. I imagine for bisquits or other baked goods the standard depth is probably fine.

I purchased this dutch oven to use with my Cub Scout pack. It is fantastic! I have used it twice to make biscuits and they were wonderful. I also purchased the 8 quart dutch oven and made deer stew for the entire pack . The pots were very easy to clean up . I highly recommend this item and I am considering purchasing an additional one to use for making dessert.

I ignored the previous review that recommended scrubbing this and seasoning it yourself, and that decision quickly proved unwise. The day I bought it I made easy cobbler from the great book that is included. The book said to spray some cooking spray on it and heat it up before use, which I did. Unfortunately, the cobbler, which was indeed very easy and good, absolutely fused to the dutch oven. It was the by far the hardest cleaning job I have ever had to do. I scrubbed for hours, and will reseason it. This is a very nice heavy weight dutch oven, the included book is very nice, the price was great. Still it will take me a long time to get over the tremendous cleaning job I had to go through. Buy this, but scrub it and reseason first.

I never write reviews but this dutch oven deserves one. I really love the lodge logic. I have two dutch ovens I seasoned myself and two lodge logic. The preseasoning looks great and wears great, very much worth it. I bought this little dutch oven because I had been introduced to dutch oven cooking and was having a blast with it and felt this would be a nice little oven to use once in a while. I’ve actually used it all most as much as my twelve incher. It works great for the sides, breads, deserts, etc. The smaller size makes it lighter which is kind of nice also. It keeps my house cool in the summer when I want a bread for dinner but don’t want to heat the oven and tonight I had friends over and made an apple crisp by layering the ingredients inside, then stacking it on top of my twelve incher where our dinner was going. Now I’m trying to think of what other things I can do. This is definitely a worthwhile investment.

I bought this for my husband who loves to cook with dutch ovens. We have a larger one for bigger meals. This one is great for smaller meals and desserts. The price is really fair and we love the dutch oven. It is solid and made of quality material. We’d buy another one in a heartbeat. Great buy!
