Cooking over a fire just gives your food this delicious, smoky quality that you just can’t replicate on the stove. When you’re cooking over a campfire, though, you need something sturdy, something that can withstand a lot of heat. That something has to be made from cast iron. Whether you’re cooking at home or camp, using a cast iron skillet or Dutch oven could help you make some of the most delicious meals you’ve ever tasted.

Reviews
The Lodge Dutch oven comes well-reviewed, making it a great option for when you’re camping with your family. Cast iron can get heavy, though, so if you’re heading out on a backcountry camping trip, it might be best to leave this pot behind.
