D and I recently took a trip to Greenville, Mississippi to visit some of his relatives. His mom and stepdad happen to be a part of an organization that goes camping together and they all cook something in their Dutch ovens.
The Dutch oven in general is really a great asset to the kitchen even though they're originally made for outdoor use with coals, but other varieties are sold that are more appopriate for the kitchen. The one we just bought is mainly for the stovetop and oven since it has an enamel finish on it. They are so versatile in the ways that you can use it, so it's always fun to experiment and try different recipes.
Below are two Dutch ovens cooking on the coals. The idea is to put a specific number of coals in various arrangements depending on what temperature you want your food to cook at. The coals go under and on top of the Dutch ovens, then you just let it sit and cook!

Ready for opening and serving!
Brisket - this turned out so incredibly juicy and tender. We basically seasoned it with onions, bell peppers, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper and some paprika.
Some Dutch oven bread made from biscuit dough but turned out like soft country bread!
The overall spread - I decided that I had to make a salad in order to have some sort of fresh greens to go along with the heartier fare. That's a strawberry salad with a simple red wine vinagrette there on the side.
After seeing what these things can do we're already itching to start our own collection of Dutch ovens!
