    Babyray,
    for lodge, i have the size 12 deep camp dutch oven. has feet and the top can be used as a griddle. i think its about 8 or 9 quarts. i also have a lecrueset which i find to be the best, but pricey. i use the lecrueset braiser and a 7 quart dutch. i think the lodge came from cabellas

    <p />Babyray,
    I just bought this Lodge brand cast iron camp stove style of Dutch oven from Amazon for $34. It is their model 12 and is a 6 quart capacity. It is a hefty 17 pounds. While I have a smaller 5 qt regular cast iron Dutch oven it was ClayQ who pointed out that when using the oven in a BGE then sitting it on an inverted plate sitter and having the three legs on the camp stove style allows an even better full distribution of heat to the contents.

    Babyray,
    Lodge cast iron Dutch ovens are the best. I use the camp ovens- they have three feet on the bottom and this works well for resting on the platesetter. My No.12 (12 inch wide) oven gets the most use followed by my No.8 . [p]The feet on the camp ovens allow air flow and more even heat on the sides and bottom of the oven. Buy the Lodge Logic ovens as they are pre-seasoned if you want to go cook right out of the box.[p]The No. 12 is a 6 quart oven with 3-3/4" depth. It's just big enough for 9-10 pounds of chuck roast; that will feed 10 people. The No.8 is great for chili or pork and beans. If you need greater capacity there is a No. 12 with 5" sides and its 8 quart. [p]Try www.lodgemfg.com

    Babyray, go to the lodge web site and find one of the Lodge factory stores. There is one in Commerce Georgia (60 miles north of Atlanta on I-85) and they have others I know. They have a complete line of products at a resonble price and usually have a sale on a couple of items. I bought a small 2 qt cast iron casserole for $15 that is perfect for baked beans
    for the family. The also have the new Lodge enamel cald cookware that is quite nice.
