Anyone got a recommendation on a good quality dutch oven, also how big is yours, no bragging now!

This one took my fancy

I have an 8ltr from Ronnie sunshines. It's great. Was going to buy a lodge because they're supposed to be the mutts...

However the ronnies has a lip on the lid so you can put coals on the top which is great for browning hotspots and cobblers

Depending on where you order it there is mix up between a Dutch oven with a Camp stove.
As for quality I don't use them enough for it to matter I say just get one from eBay like I did for about 20 bucks and enjoy. I would love to have the BSA one in my brothers garage from when I was a kid but shipping would be killer.

You can go here for information on seasoning it. Mine get done in the smoker.

Thanks Al, I've got 3 LeCreuset cast iron pots for inside but would like a quality one for outside, just not sure I need the 12" version but in reality I could probably get away with a £20 eBay one

I've recently bought this which is reviewed here: http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=55609
Haven't used it yet, the only difference to the dutch oven you linked to is that it is alluminium and not cast iron and there is no handle so you can't hang it over a fire so you'll need a welding mit to peep inside. Can't see a problem with drilling holes in the handle and attaching an improvised handle, what do you think? oh and I got mine from the local Asian shop for £22.99

Thanks, I have to be honest thought the aluminium puts me off but it's a bargain at that price so sure a few others will be interested
