We're beginners in dutch oven cooking so we have a twelve inch d.o.
I think you'll like the DO, but consider adding a 10" or even an 8" to the collection. Far too many 12" DO's are left cold because they are too big.
Grab a metal oil change pan and paint it with grill paint and you will always have a place to use the DO. I also have another pan turn upside down under the pan. It has 1/2" holes drilled around the sides and acts to raise the coal pan up. I can use it on grass without burning it.
Thanks for the ideas. Now that we're getting into it more we've ordered a ten inch extra deep to go with the deep twelve. If there's leftovers it saves cooking the next meal and we use that free time for hikes. I'm liking the oil change pan ideas. I hadn't want to pop the coin for a dutch oven table.
