Dug the Dutch Oven out, tossed in an elk chuck roast, potatoes, celery, garlic, two onions, cabernet sauvignon wine, beef broth and cranked the stove up!

But it's bear season and you have elk left over from the Fall? Lucky you!

you shoot an elk in Illinois?
 
Do tell more about that Dutch ! What is in the center ? Also the top looks real deep.

I have heard of a center piece but have never used or seen one used . What brand dutch is this ?

When I use mine it is outdoors with charcoal maybe its time to rethink where the dutch can be used ;?

Thanks for the inspiration !

It's a Camp Chef oven. The lid is probably 3" deep. The center "piece" is part of the casting. It's like an angle food cake pan. But no hole. There are however, holes in the top for heat to come in. It's got griddles that go inside too that hold what you're cooking off the bottom.

The lid has legs too so you can cook in it as well

I am envious (both of the meal and the opportunity to go elk hunting).

Look forward to simmering some whitetail on my stove. Cannot wait to go freestanding==c

I am sure my invitation was lost in the mail.

I enjoy hunting, and as long as I have enough whitetail around here (and places to hunt them) I don't see the need. Perhaps once the kids are gone and I am not running to baseball, cubscouts, etc.......That and the expense of a guided hunt (since that is usually your only option as an out of stater).

My best friend just took a job in TX, and is already screaming for me to come on a hog hunt with him.....

If I am lucky, by the time I am ready to pay the expense and spare the time for a hunt like that, the elk population in Western NC will have climbed up (they were reintroduced into the great smoky mountains national park a while back).
