Dutch ovens and a Cobb

Get him a dutch oven and let him cook out. They are fun. I like mine a lot. You can make anything in there anywhere you can light a fire. You can bake in it too. You can use charcoal or use it on a Camp Chef, which can cook anything and has a bag carrier with a sling on it. Some of the MREs are good. Go to Emergency Essentials and you will see they even have a little MRE warmer thing if he doesn't want to take an oven.

I love my Cobb. It is from Australia, got it at Sportsmans Warehouse, and you can BBQ, smoke, cook, fry, broi, whatever on this tiny little (to me it is tiny) utensil and you only need 6 briquets. It is fast, easy and yummy. It goes back in its little black bag (about the size of a purse) when you are done. When you get home you can wash the dome and the grill part in the dishwasher. We keep one in our car so if we get hungry somewhere we can make our own food (McDonalds lost its charm long ago). You just go to a store, get a steak or burger meat or chicken breasts and whip out the Cobb and put in the 6 briquets light it and wait a short period of time and there it is! Real food! You can make pizza on it too. I just keep it in the car in its cute little purse bag with a few briquets in a plastic bag and I'm ready for whatever whenever. It zips back up so it doesn't get the car dirty either.

Dutch Oven Cooking
Hi - Glad to see you here again. I still missed your piggy "baby" - likes to hide, I guess. Cold here too. It is really easy to cook in the fireplace or on an iron stand in your back yard or a hole in the ground. I will email you some recipes and look at all the fun you will have! Nothing tastes as good as dutch oven food! Get ready for a new dress size! Your husband will be your slave if you feed him this food, I swear. Have to know, how much is wood a cord out there where you are? It is 492.00 here, and that is horrendous. We used to cut our own and it was basically free with sweat labor.
