Structure of a Dutch Oven
The original Dutch Oven is made of cast iron, has 3 feet and a lid. The feet make it possible to build a fireplace under the stove and thus heat the stove. The lid of the fire pot is slightly curved inward, which allows coals to be placed on the lid as well. You can then work with top and bottom heat.
Different designs of the Dutch Oven
Dutch ovens are available with or without feet. If you want to use the fire pot exclusively outdoors, we recommend a model with feet.
A model without feet has the advantage that you can also use the pot indoors on the stove. For outdoor use, a pot stand / tripod is recommended here, so that under the fire pot can be heated.
What fuel is used for a cast iron pot?
What you use to make fire under the pot is up to everyone. We recommend high-quality briquettes, because they have a much longer burning time and give off heat for a long time compared to classic charcoal.

Care of the Dutch Oven
When buying a Dutch oven, pay attention especially to...
...material
The stronger the material, the longer and better the Dutch Oven retains heat. So when buying, look for a uniform and thick wall thickness. Likewise, a perfectly fitting lid is especially important for steam.
...capacity
The Dutch Oven comes in different sizes, which are usually indicated with a capacity in liters. Models with about 3 liters are sufficient for 2 - 3 people, 9 liter fire pots, on the other hand, are already suitable for 10 or more people.
...Equipment and accessories
Especially with a Dutch Oven you are permanently confronted with the heat, from the lid to the feet this pot gets hot, therefore a lid lifter and good grill gloves are an absolute MUST - also because of the safety! Tripods / pot stands, lid stands and transport bags are additional accessories that make roasting with the Dutch Oven easier for you.
We have large and small models of the brand Petromax and also offer you all the accessories.
