Dutch Oven Cooking

Well it snowed last night, but was gone by the time I was ready to make dinner.  Today I thought I would make some roast pork with potato in the 10" dutch.  I used wood instead of charcoal to assure thatI knew how to do it.  It enede up taking a lot more wood then I thought.  I first built a little log cabin type lay, then as it was building I slowly put hardwood on top.  These were about 2" in diameter.  I started by preheating the oven, then sauted the onion in butter.  When that was done in went the mushrooms and tomato.  Next I added the sliced pork roast and cream of mushroom soup.  It all came together and took about 2 hours total.  I found that cooking this way takes more wood then you think, in the future I will use charcoal, but from time to time I will also use wood to keep my skills up. 

It turned out very good.  It is important not just to stock up on supplies, but to also get out and use/ practice with this equipment.
