As the BGE Dutch Ovens are not sold in Ontario, has anyone ever tried using the coloured enamel ironware in the BGE?

    I bought a Lodge 9 Qt CI DO from Amazon. Fits great in my LBGE and makes some tasty chilli, can't wait to use it more this winter

    Hard to beat Lodge for the egg. Keep it seasoned and it cleans up easily. Don't need the one with legs. I bought an inexpensive electric induction burner that I use outdoors next to the egg. Works great with cast iron adjacent to the egg. Enameled is nice but I'm not sure it is worth the extra expense.

    I was dying to to make some chile and pot roast thats been posted here lately. So I went to Target not to far from me, but  they just had the enamel one made by Lodge. It works good, easy to clean. I got the 6 Qt. for $60, on the Lodge site he list for $105. If I had orderd it the shipping would cost has much as the D O. :)

    My wife won't let me use our Le Creuset DOs on my Egg, but I think there might be a cleaning issue.  With CI, you can just clean it with a sponge and water and not have to make it shine.

    Certainly, you can get CI DO's in Cannukistan, can't you?

    I use a cuisnart ECI DO all the time. No issues.

    It builds up some pretty heavy soot which I don't clean often. When I do, a 5 min soak in oxyclean gets it ALL off with very little elbow grease.
    Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.

    TIP: If you put a thin coating of dishwashing liquid on the outside of the enamel-coated D.O., before putting it on the Egg, it'll clean off easy-peasy, once you're done cooking.

    I use my enameled kitchenaid DOs on the egg all the time and I also use my le creuset enameled skillet to blacken fish all the time. I have had my enameled skillet to at least 700 on my mini and it is fine.

    I use my le Creuset all the time. Canadian Tire often has the Kitchenaid stuff on half price too.

    L S what's this ?, you buy a set of tires and they throw in a set of pots and pans for 1/2 price.  Can you buy stamps there also.  :)
