Dutch Oven size recommendation
I am looking either a 12' or 14' Camp Chef Dutch oven with feet and lid with a lip. We cook regularly for 4 to 6 people. My initial thoughts to use it was for baking desserts, breads, rolls,.. ...

Go with the 12". That holds enough for your 4-6 people. As mentioned, most DO recipes are sized to the 12".
Personally I always recommend folks buy 2 of the 12". DOs aren't that expensive and while making your main course, you can use the second one to bake biscuits, breads or desserts. Trust me, you'll be glad you did. I found out quickly many years ago that once you start using DOs at campgrounds, you'll find you become very popular with your neighbors.
Welcome to the world of Cast Iron Chefs.
Most recipes are 12" that is a good point. Leaning towards the 12", as no one has suggested bigger(14") is better. I found a 10" Dutch oven of mine(garage sale), but no legs and curved lid, thus not a charcoal type.
Thank you for thoughts.
