Dutch ovens are a popular cast iron pot used for campfire cooking. These pots are roughly four to five inches in depth and ten inches in diameter. While cooking with a dutch oven takes practice, a wide variety of recipes and meals can be produced from a single dutch oven. Because of their versatility, dutch ovens are incredibly popular with those who camp.
