Dutch oven Cooking
I just started cooking in my dutch oven this past weekend on a camping trip. What do you cook in your dutch oven over the fire?

Any and every thing! You name it and we've cooked it in the dutch oven over coals.
Soups, stews, casseroles, bread, cakes, pies, etc.. I can't think of anything you can't cook like that if you watch what you're doing.

Beer Bread
3 Cups Self Rising Flour
3 Tablespoons Sugar
12 Oz room Temp Beer (I Think the Darker Bocks is better here in Texas I like Shiner or Ziegenbock)
2 Cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese
Follow the 10 and 8 Charcoal Rule for 10 in Oven Should get you 350, Rotate oven and lid every 15 to 20 minutes for an hour
If you are a Campground Follower you may need to make 2 it brings new friends in a hurry

All of it!
After 10 years as a Scoutmaster I cook EVERYTHING. Our favorites are Mountain man breakfast, Ribs, Pepsi Chicken, Cobblers, pizza, grits casserole, and many other things!! I love the Dutch Oven. I also have a cast iron skillet but that's a whole other topic!

We did Brunswick stew. It was delicious. It was our first time and it was great fun. Trying to decide what to cook next.

We cooked 15 bean soup in one and I fried pork chops in another one last weekend. And did that on the rocket stove.

I built that cooker myself. The design is based on several others that I saw online.
It uses about any kind of wood you find laying around and it takes very little wood during a burn. And the bonus is that it's virtually smokeless once burning.
I have plans if anyone is interested. It's 36" of 6" square tubing and a piece of scrap angle iron and four ½" carriage bolts and eight ½" nuts.

I'd be interested if you wouldn't mind sending them to me.

Here are the plans for the Rocket Stove. I've attached them in .jpg and .pdf formats. I also have them in .dwg or .dxf. PM me if you'd like those formats.
Rocket Stove 6in.pdf
I used a thin metal cutting wheel to make the angled cuts because I didn't have anyone with a metal cutting band saw big enough to cut the 6" tubing at those angles. I used my BIL's band saw to cut the 1" thick pieces off the end.
One thing I did differently than the plans show, is I took a piece of thin stainless steel sheet metal that I had. I cut it 11" long and 2" wider than the square tubing (8") and bent a 1" leg on each side to make the air chase. If you do it that way, make sure it's narrow enough so that it slips into the fuel feed chute. It just makes it easier to clean out because you can just slip the air chase out.

When everyone says they cook over coals, are you using coals from wood or charcoal? Do you cook in the fire pit or put the coals elsewhere? If you keep it in the fire pit how do you keep getting hot coals for switching them out?
