Going to a DOG
When going to Dutch Oven Gatherings we've found the following tips helpful:
-Tag your pots. Most dutch ovens look alike. Attach metal tags with your last name, initials or whatever so that your pot doesn't accidentally take a ride with another Cast Iron Chef. Metal tags can be found here or you can make your own with supplies and stamps ordered online. Sometimes the local hardware will have the metal tags too.
-Nylon pot bags or milk crates. No matter how you wipe them down these pots can still be dirty. Separate them from your nice stuff that you don't want smudged up. Put your name on the bags/crates.
-Utensils. Again, put your name on them. Keep them organized with your other equipment.
-Zipper bags are lightweight and great for holding that secret spice blend already mixed. By prepping it ahead of time you won't have to carry all those spice bottles.
