The music is too loud. Great info but very difficult to hear.
I’m excited to get started! I just picked up a Lodge 12 inch 6 quart for 15$ new!
Love the music. Islam Is cancer
How can i bake a cake in oven?should i heat the DO before pourin the batter and go into the oven
Thats not what a dutch oven is..
Thanks Bro. Using it to make Sauerkraut & Polish Sausage.
Wish the background music was at so LOUD!! It’s tough to hear what is being said.
background music is a bit too loud. I had a real hard time hearing you over it on the last segment of your video. Other than that, I loved the info and subscribed to your channel.
I do a lot of cooking out in the weeds, and dutch ovens are the bomb, although I've found they are really hard to control temperature inside when NOT USING briquets. When using wood coals, I get it wrong a lot: oak coals keep heat longer, ash and hickory burn hot but not as long, osage orange is super hot and usually burns the food inside, maple burns fast with a flash then gets cold… any advice on how to control temps on natural campfires using whatever wood is available at the time?
(BTW…great idea on that table to save the back!)
Great video!! Thanks
I have lodge dutch oven but its lid is round and charcoal can slide back down…
What to do?
Love your cooking ? you are a cast iron legend..
i'm dutch and never hearth of a duch oven
Is there an easy way for cleaning off soot? I always get in a real mess
I found this vid when I was researching brands and quality. I LOVE cast iron cookware will soon be investing in my own set as I haven't had access to any, for regular use, in quite a long time. It makes the best food EVER and anywhere from home fries and cakes, to biscuits or noodles. I was very happy to see the recipes and showing 'how-to' as I love cooking. I do have to admit though, my favorite thing to make in cast iron is pineapple upside down cake 🙂
Thank you for these vids 🙂
Your the fucking man
Awesome vid, enjoyed the music. Thanks!
Does it ever get to the point? Really? It's like one big intro!!!!
Don't use Music you don't know how you're not Spielberg stop it. It's annoying it's distracting all I need is information.
This guy was so excited to make a video and so happy that a l”ll give him a ??

Thank you so much. I am a new camper at 60 and loving it. I am excited about this idea. I appreciate your sharing. ?
Excellent information Sir!
Thanks for sharing.
Any tips on how to cook rice? On a stove it's obviously easy to go from a boil to a simmer, how do you do that with charcoal?
Thank you for showing us how to use these, I found it very helpful.
Just subbed you. 🙂
the background music is too distracting for hearing impaired viewers.
