ok thanks again i'll check out griswold will be looking for a DO for camping we have enjoyed some fine cobblers with friends who cook with do's
For reasons I suppose are obvious I have seen very few outdoor DO's in various markets that have a lot of CI. You may have to buy new.
In one aspect a new Lodge may be a safer option as you know it doesn't have hairline cracks. Often Walmart's camping section carries Lodge camp dutch ovens. Lodge without enamel is still USA made.
Be aware that DOs from other countries have been having problems with toxins in the metals and inferior casting causing structural problems. Among cast iron chefs their choice cast iron is Lodge as #1; Camp Chef as #2. Not many will bring their prize antique Griswolds or Wagners to a D.O.G. unless its for exhibition.
Do a search for "camp dutch oven" if you buy online. Amazon will offer free shipping on some.
