"RICHARDBROS"
GREAT OVEN FOR THE PRICE. SHIPPING COST ARE A LITTLE HIGH. ONLY USED THIS OVEN ONCE SO FAR. I WENT ONLINE FOR RECIPES, WHICH THERE ARE HUNDREDS. WE COOKED A COBBLER, AND MAN WAS IT TASTY. IF YOUR INTO OUTDOOR COOKING THIS IS IT. I CANT WAIT TO USE IT AGAIN. CLEANUP WAS A BREEZE. I RECOMEND THIS TO ANYONE

"Recommended by experts and doesn't disappoint"
Before my wife and I were recently married, we both enjoyed camping with groups. Now we are establishing our own collection of camping equipment, and enjoying camping on our own. In studying camping, I became intrigued by the Dutch oven, and the fact that you can do about anything with it you can with a stove and oven at home - bake, broil, boil, fry, roast, etc. Mainly, I dreamed of making a pizza in camp!

Reasearching many publications by Dutch oven fanatics, one thing was consistent: Lodge is the best. They also recommend starting with a 12" oven, as most recipes are for this size. (Probably because a 12" oven has nearly the same bottom area as a standard 9x13 baking dish or cake pan.)

I can't compare against any other makes, as I don't have any, but this oven does not disappoint. It seems well-made, and the lid fits precisely as it should.

I didn't want to pay extra for the seasoning, but with Super Saver shipping, Amazon was selling this for almost half what I could get the non-pre-seasoned model for shipped from anywhere else. (Most mail-order retailers add an additional fee for the heavy Dutch oven on top of their regular shipping charge.) I am amazed at how easy it is to clean, even with my amateur experiments. I haven't had to use any more than very little scrubbing with a Scotch-Brite pad to get a few stubborn spots off, and the pre-seasoning allowed me to bake with it the evening it arrived!

In the first week, I've tried brownies, pizza, sourdough rolls, cinnamon rolls, baked macaroni and cheese, and fried up bacon on the lid. I'm looking forward to getting a lifetime of use out of this, and will shortly add some other sizes. (I suspect the 8" will be better for casserole-type meals for just me and my wife.)

"Wrong Photo"
This would be a great buy if the picture and the product description matched. The picture shows the Lewis & Clark commemorative oven, but the product code indicates the standard Logic 12" oven. This is a common error on the part of Amazon, mismatched picture and product. Also, be careful of their pricing claims, on the 8" oven they advertise lowest price of the season, but the oven was $8 cheaper the week before. Make sure you know your product before you buy - save yourself a major disappointment.
Update 6/30/04: Getting closer to the truth, the picture is now correct for the product, but the description is still off. Per Lodge, the depth of the L12CO3 is 3 3/4 inches, not 4. This could possibly mislead people into believing the advertised oven is the "deep" version.

What our customer's say!

"Best as usual", Lodge is a leader in cast iron cookware and the quality of their dutch ovens proves it. The cover has a great seal and the pre seasoning is wonderful. I wouldn't buy any other brand and I couldn't find it any cheaper anywhere else.

"Lodge is the Best!", Anyone who grew up in a family with an active outdoor lifestyle that included camping, hunting, fishing and horses will most likely be very familiar with the Lodge brand name and with these Dutch ovens. This review is for those who haven't had as much exposure to these wonderful products.

I own 5 lodge cast iron Dutch ovens (1 x 10in 4qt indoor, 1 x 10in 4qt camp, 1 x 14in 10qt camp and 2 x 12in 6qt camp) and I couldn't be happier with them. Since the link for this product is for the 12in 6 qt camp oven I will concentrate on that one but this review can easily be applied to any of the Dutch ovens produced by lodge.

I purchased one of my 12in ovens last year the other was my fathers and has been used for well over 15 years. The first question you may ask is, "Why Lodge?" Well, I respond by saying, "Made in the USA!" The other popular brand on the market is based here in Utah but the label clearly states that it is made in China. Second, you should choose Lodge for the quality of the product. Lodge produces a thick and heavy feeling oven that other brands don't seem to have. Lodge just feels much denser. Yes, these are heavy as most cast iron products are. But, it's this heavy cast iron that makes them work so well. It isn't hard to achieve and maintain desired temperature with cast iron. Cast iron requires seasoning to prevent food from sticking to the surface and this seasoning, once established, should not be cleaned with dish detergent. If you use detergent you should use very little; otherwise, you will need to re-season the oven. The blacker these things get the better they cook. When not being used, cast iron should be coated with a thin layer of cooking oil or shortening. My father coated his with shortening and it has been stored in a shed, exposed to water and weather, for several years since his passing and it doesn't have a single spot of rust.

Camp Dutch oven cooking is becoming increasingly popular and there are numerous resources available to help you get the most out of your oven. I firmly believe the best oven to start with is the 6qt 12in oven. It is really the standard oven that most recipes are created for. If you want to purchase another one right away I would recommend the 10in 4qt for deserts and breads. As far as the indoor cast iron Dutch ovens are concerned, I really only use mine in the winter when I can't get outside to play with my other ovens. But, the indoor 10in does make an excellent chicken fryer and gumbo pot!


"Best idea ever", I LOVE this dutch oven. Although I wish I could find a grate to put the charcoal on, but I make dump cakes, and cook w/ it a lot while camping. I am glad I got the bigger one, as w/ a family of 4, you need something bigger to cook for all of us.



"Top quality, as usual", I bought this as an addition to my 8 qt Lewis & Clark commemerative. As usual, I was not disappointed in Lodge. Exactly as advertised and Made In the USA. Works for me.

"Excellent product, but...", Watch the price. It fluctuates drastically, and you need to keep in mind that you can pick it up for $41.67 at Wal-mart.
I have 9 Lodge Camp Dutch Ovens (2 of this size), and they are all great. There is a learning curve, but is a delicious one.
