Glad to have you onboard. My wife and I trail ride most every weekend in the summer ourselves. I also find that I don't bounce as well as I did in my younger days. I don't know what it is about cast iron. It is the only type of cooking equipment that can talk. How it knows what my name is , I'll never know but I can just walk by and it will call out "Doug , take me home" My collection is now up to 48 pieces of iron with 18 being Dutch ovens.
I cooked a stuffed pork loin and my Redneck Finger Cake this past weekend for my wifes family reunion. I got the usual " you cooked that with coals and not in the Oven? Bottom line was when the lunch was over , all I had to do was take a paper towel to the pots to clean them because they were empty. It was at a deer camp and they had a 16" dutch oven in their ckitchen that had the flanged lid but no legs that I could not talk them out of. Did I need it? no Did I want it ? yes Oh well theres next year.
Doug
