WLToo bought a fire pit. Couple weeks ago, we cooked dinner in it. Trotted out my grandad's DO, put a roast and veggies in it, and settled its legs down into the coals and dropped coals on top. Hung the DO bean pot on the attached hanger.
Food was excellent, and cooked up in half the time we thought it would take. Cooks learned not to put so much water in the bean pot for next time.
Then I promptly scored a 1920s Griswold Tite-Top DO in perfect condition, so we now have four DOs available. Between DOs in/above the fire pit and in the oven, there's some seriously good eats coming outta this joint.

You scored big with the Griswold. They are getting rare. I'm with you on the seriously good eats.
Suggestion - try soaking the beans for an hour next time and then use less water. Toss some smoked sausage in the pot with the beans to slow cook and you have the next level bean pot working.
Glad you've joined the Cast Iron Chefs Brigade.
