Cast Iron Skillet Set I have been looking at this for awhile now and wondering if any one has had any experience with either this or Legend brand itself. All my cast iron has been Lodge after I had...

I have no experience with that brand. The size of the skillets is about right for two. And it would work fine for baking in a oven. But as a camp oven? Not what I would want if I was limited to one. To bake, you need coals on top of the oven. Yes it is easy to put coals on top, but without the rim on the lid it is hard to take the lid off without seasoning the food with ash. If you get it I suggest some short pieces off black steel pipe to lay in the coals to keep pan from smothering the coals. And at least one light lid that will fit both.
If I was going to pick CI for 2 that would take about the same space, I would use a 10 inch camp oven, a skillet same diameter that the rimmed lid would fit, and a domed lid to fit both.
BTW, when I was very young my great grandmother always had a lid larger than the skillets she used hanging next to stove. My mother somehow set the grease in a skillet on fire. (Fireman will tell you this can burn the house if not handled right. In a RV???) Grandma just grabbed the lid. It was bigger than skillet, but she just shoved the fire back into the pan, and covered it with lid, and shut off burner. Cleanup? Dip some of the grease off, and finish cooking.
