I just happened to stumble on to your channel. I'm still a bit of a newbie when it comes to cast iron cooking, but we've been doing a couple of recipes while camping and just love it! This looks amazing and we're definitely going to try this soon!! Thanks!
Newbies welcomed!!! This is a nice recipe to create in camp. This past week we were on the Washington Coast and there was a burn ban on the beach. Had a couple of recipes I was going to share (camp cast iron Dutch oven) with the Pacific as a backdrop. No worries; did cook them with a bit more tweaking of the recipes…gonna be better than ever. Shared a bit of what we did on the Facebook page. Let me know how your Pork and Spuds turns out. And, if you have any cast iron questions at all; let me know!
@@beerandiron morning chef! no, it has a flat, griddle type lid , off eBay . I suffered a stroke, a while ago so I got it to encourage me to get into the garden. these ovens are incredible going to run through your catalogue. thank you friend.keep cooking. regards.geoff
Excellent! It’s definitely a keeper recipe. Let me know how it turns out. Got a video for chicken pot pie in a camp cast iron Dutch oven “on deck.” Stay tuned…
Got that right brother! Absolutely. My “cooking beers” are always or by the time I start cooking “room temp.” Good reminder for sure! And even if they are room temp, easy-does it and a bit at a time. I need to start pointing that for folks. Appreciate the tip.
Thanks so much for the encouragement! I’m not sure if you were able to see that video on how I heat the cast-iron Dutch oven for baking, broiling, and frying.
Great video and recipe. Yum. I do some hobby welding and I know galvanized steel really puts off some serious toxins when welded or cut with a plasma cutter. Any concerns using that trash can lid to hold your coals? I used to use galvanized feed bowls from tractor supply store for my cast iron cooking until I got into hobby metal welding and learned about the dangers of galvanized. Just want you to be safe so you can keep making these great videos that we all enjoy.
Hello to you mesocray6709. Thank you for the message; it is well received. I have had a couple of folks mention my garbage can lids. In the Army, my MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) was 44B…Metal Worker (and a registered nurse now…go figure?). My understanding (and I have been known to be wrong on more than a few occasions [my wonderful wife will confirm that]) is that the galvanized metal is “galvanized” by the process of coating the metal with zinc as a rust protection. It’s my understanding (correct me otherwise) that the burning off of the zinc is what could cause the concern with the fumes. I wondered about this back when I started using old garbage can lids for support in my outdoor Dutch oven cooking. Then I realized that many charcoal chimneys are made from Galvanized Metal. Many products for home fire pits are galvanized. Then I considered the charcoal briquettes themselves…even natural wood briquettes and even good old fashioned wood…it all puts off gasses that could be considered toxic. Again, correct me if I am wrong…as long as the cooking is done outdoors and with good ventilation, the gasses from the burning of the zinc, ingredients used to make the briquettes, and the smoke in general is not a concern (and even less so once the zinc has burned away). In going on 30-years of nursing, I haven’t had anyone (that I’ve taken care of or heard about) that has had an issue with respiratory ailments or other health problems due to being exposed to burning-off zinc. The decision for me using the garbage can lids was made by a process of observation (and some knowledge) that left me with the understanding that the risk is low and is about as “dangerous” and the smoke from some of the commercial charcoal briquettes (and one if the reasons I have switched to using natural wood briquettes [also with their risks]). With all that being said, I want to make sure this response is received as conversational and not argumentative. And…yes…I am searching for an alternative for garbage can lids…they are out there but way more spendy than “free.” (LOL). (stainless is what I am searching for but would be happy with an old carbon metal pan as well)...we’ll see what I end up with soon…when I find my new platform, I’ll mention some of the reasons for my change to that new platform. Again, your comment is welcomed and appreciated.
Wrangler Riggs Workwear. They have a few different styles. They are pretty tough and hold up very well. amzn.to/45IPFz8 And amzn.to/3XCUY11 Even shorts: amzn.to/45FeLic
Broth or bone broth works very well instead of beer. Any of the recipes that call for beer can usually be substituted with broth. Unless it’s a dessert.
Yes. IBU…International Bitterness Unit or International Bittering Unit…IPA is India pale ale, a beer style. IPAs seem to be a popular beer style that has more of that hoppy or bitter taste. I’ve used IPAs (and other “bitter” beers) in foods I cook. Founders Brewing Co. All Day IPA is a great beer but may not be a good choice for this recipe. Rainier by Pabst Brewing may be a better choice. - If I understand correctly, you are letting me know that you understand this but others may not get the reference to IBU? If I misunderstood, let me know. I appreciate the feedback; I always appreciate feedback.
Sulae another wonderful presentation… have enjoyed your stories that bring back fond camping memories. Being vertically challenged, I would take advantage of the adjustable cooking grate on the FA firering to raise the cooking platform to a more convenient height. 👍👍🤠 BTW I agree w/your assessment regarding concern about the galvanized cover…
Very Good! Yeah. I was at a gas station the other day and saw a couple of Washington plates there in the trash. I thought the same thing…where’s the bodies? Your message got me thinking about that movie, Nothing But Trouble and Judge Alvin "J.P" Valkenheiser…I bet he had a collection of license plates. Thanks for the laugh friend!
Another excellent video. Thank you very much. Keep these kind of videos coming please.
YOU motivate me!! Thanks so very much!!
I professional chef on TV once said "Its not a casserole unless it has cream of chicken soup in it"!... And he is right!
Great video! Keep the recipe videos coming!
Will do! Hope to have some more camp Dutch oven recipes soon.

@@beerandiron Thanks for the reply, and will do!!
I've just got a Weber Dutch oven and they're great love your rustic country style recipes, respect from Suffolk , England .
Hello again my England friend! Those Weber Dutch-es are pretty nice. Is that the one with the skillet lid?
@@beerandiron morning chef! no, it has a flat, griddle type lid , off eBay . I suffered a stroke, a while ago so I got it to encourage me to get into the garden. these ovens are incredible going to run through your catalogue. thank you friend.keep cooking. regards.geoff
I don't think I have ever seen a Weber Camp Dutch Oven.
Looks grubbin. We will have to try it this summer now. Cheers!
Excellent! It’s definitely a keeper recipe. Let me know how it turns out. Got a video for chicken pot pie in a camp cast iron Dutch oven “on deck.” Stay tuned…
5:20 pouring a cold beer on hot cast iron can crack or warp cast iron. I always heat up any liquid before pouring over hot cast iron.
Food looks great

Love how precise you are with burquette advice, learned a lot from this video and it's great for beginners
Thanks so much for the encouragement! I’m not sure if you were able to see that video on how I heat the cast-iron Dutch oven for baking, broiling, and frying.
Thats NOT a windshield! Thats a car tag! 😂
You're right on! For Sure! Car tag! LOL
Thx for converting to Celsius Chile!,

Wow, loving the cook may I ask what are the brand of your pants like them look like they would hold up to camping.

What can you use instead of the beer??
Broth or bone broth works very well instead of beer. Any of the recipes that call for beer can usually be substituted with broth. Unless it’s a dessert.
Wonder how many understand a low I.B.U. reference? International bittering units in case you wanted to know. In example, not an IPA.
