Why we picked it
Virtually indestructible cast iron
The Lodge Camp Dutch Oven is a 6 quart cast iron beast with flanged lid designed to hold coals on top for even campfire cooking. Lodge has been casting iron in South Pittsburg, Tennessee since 1896, and these ovens are built to outlast their owners by generations. The pre seasoned surface improves with every use and never needs replacement.
