Cooking in a Dutch oven is a lot like using a crockpot. We usually do easy things like stew but I've seen roasts, whole chickens and cutup fryers cooked in a Dutch oven, too.

The trick is to burn your fire down to coals so you can heap them around and on the pot. You might want to have a bag of charcoal along to keep the heat going.

Do a Web search with dutch oven cooking and plenty of sites come up.

Check out some Boy Scout websites - dutch oven cooking is a mainstay with the Scouts, everything from pot roast to peach cobbler to pizza.

Here's one link - http://www.macscouter.com/Cooking/

Right at the top is a Dutch Oven Cookbook for download.
