Dutch Oven size for Medium

kl8ton

Can someone help me out?  What size Dutch oven fits in a medium?   It would sit  down on a spider on a heat deflector stone.   I did some searching and didn't find any answer . I think I'd like a lodge CI DO with feet.

At gasket level I know you can use a 5 quart one without feet. I used that combo to make shrimp and chorizo fundido 2 or 3 times before I gave my medium to my nephew and upgraded to a large.

I have a 10 quart that fits on my medium. No feet as stated. It is an 80-90 year old Dutch oven, and is not a Lodge. My point is it may not transfer, but can't believe there is much difference in other makes. If it helps, I did replace the top with a Lodge as the original cracked in two years ago.....and the handle clearance works. I don't recall my set up, but have cooked beef stew many a time. I think you could purchase with confidence.....but i can't warrant that for you.

Thanks!   At lodge factory outlet today.... they only had 5q. I grabbed one. Since they are an egg dealer, I put it on a medium.  Plenty of room.  Wish they had more sizes to try. Price was right.
