Dutch oven cooking is something that can be done year-round, especially during the summertime.
With the right equipment, meals for weekend camping trips can be a breeze.
“I first got interested in Dutch oven cooking when my sons were in Eagle Scouts, and their Eagle Scout was really good at it,” said Tom Boydston, Dutch oven cooker, who lives in rural Neosho.

“It wasn’t until 1986-87 that I got one and started playing with it.”
For those who may be interested in Dutch oven cooking, Boydston suggests starting with the 10-inch pot.
“The 10-inch works really well and it’s about the right size for 2-4 people,” said Boydston.
There are several different sizes of pots for Dutch oven cooking, starting at a size 5 and going up from there.
