I recently acquired a DO. It appears to be an Ozark brand and was never used by the looks of it. It has a rough finish to it I don't care for but am interested in learning more about this type of cooking. I have cast frying pans and am familiar with the cooking and care of those.

So far I've done a couple simple desserts in it, apple\cake mix, on a resent camping trip using coals from the camp fire. They turned out good and everyone seemed to enjoy them.

I'd like to do a stew or perhaps a roast in one at the cabin this fall. What have you cooked in yours and how did you do it?
