Featuring a flanged lid that doubles as a griddle and holds hot coals for even 360° heat, this 13.5-pound cast iron pot offers superior heat retention and durability. Its sturdy bail handle enhances portability, making it ideal for campfire cooking. Pre-seasoned for immediate use, it delivers chemical-free, flavorful meals and is built to last for generations. ## Description The Lodge portable "camp stove" is the pot that does it all. The flanged lid holds hot coals and inverts for use as a griddle. The integral legs allow the oven to sit perfectly over hot coals. From colonial hearth fires to the campfires of Lewis and Clark, cast iron camp ovens fed the colonists, helped tame the wilderness and did their share in settling the American West. Cast iron cookware has long been treasures as sought after heirlooms, so much so that, when Lewis and Clark returned from their journey west, their trusted cast iron pots were among the few items making it back to civilization. Like whiskey and tall tales, Lodge Cast Iron improved with age. There are few companies who can boast that products they made over 100 years ago remain in use today and are still in high demand. You just won't find anyone who knows camp oven cooking like Lodge. Our camp ovens have proven themselves with avid outdoorsmen and patio pioneers from Tennessee to Tokyo. When you create a meal in Lodge Cast Iron, you create a memory that lasts a lifetime. Many of the pieces of cast iron cookware made in the Lodge Foundry over a century ago remain in use today. The Lodge Cast Iron Dutch Oven is a multi-functional cookware that works wonders with slow-cooking recipes. It comes with a tight-fitting lid that helps lock in nutrition and flavor. This pre-seasoned Dutch Oven works like a charm right out of the box. Made of cast iron, this Dutch Oven evenly distributes heat from the bottom through the sidewalls. Also, it retains heat better so your delicious meal remains warm for a long time. Sporting a stylish black color, the cast iron Dutch Oven looks good in most kitchens and it doubles up as an excellent source of nutritional iron. It features loop handles for convenient handling and the oven is easy to clean and maintain. Review: The Absolute King of the Campfire – Massive Capacity and Easy to Maintain! - If you are cooking for a large group or a big family at the campsite, the Lodge 10-Quart Camp Dutch Oven is the ultimate workhorse. It is a serious piece of American-made iron that handles everything from massive stews to deep-dish cobblers with ease. What makes this the gold standard: Enormous Capacity: At 10 quarts (14-inch diameter), this thing is a beast. You can easily feed 12–14 people. It’s the perfect size for a whole chicken with veggies or a giant batch of "mountain man" breakfast. True "Camp" Design: The three integral legs are a lifesaver—they allow the oven to sit perfectly over hot coals without smothering them. The flanged lid is also brilliant; it’s designed to hold hot coals on top for even 360-degree heating, and you can even flip it over and use it as a griddle for eggs or bacon. Surprisingly Easy to Clean: Despite its size, cleanup is a breeze. Because of the quality pre-seasoning, food releases easily. Usually, a quick scrub with a stiff brush and hot water is all it takes to get it back to its original state. As long as you dry it thoroughly and give it a light coat of oil, it stays in perfect condition. Superior Heat Retention: Being Lodge cast iron, it heats evenly and holds that temperature for a long time. Once you get this pot up to heat, it stays there, which is essential when you're dealing with the fluctuating temperatures of an outdoor fire. Heavy Duty Bail Handle: The wire handle is thick and secure, making it easy to move or hang from a tripod if you want to cook over an open flame rather than directly on coals. Final Verdict: Yes, it is heavy (about 28 lbs), but that’s exactly what you want for durable, lifetime outdoor cookware. It is virtually indestructible and will likely be something you pass down for generations. If you take your outdoor cooking seriously and need to feed a crowd, this is the best investment you can make. Review: Very Nice Dutch Oven! - Used this at our last camping / hunting trip and it was a big hit. We cooked a nice sized rooster in it with room to spare! We prepped the ingredients, put it over the fire and went hunting. After a long, slow cook over the fire, we returned to a falling-off-the-bone chicken stew (taters, onions, celery, carrots, salt & pepper) that was about the best camp meal you could ask for! If you're going to use it at a primitive campsite, I recommend picking up (or making) a tripod system where you can hang it by a chain over the fire. We cooked all our meals that way and it worked perfectly. The lipped lid is great too - you can take some coals from the fire and put them on top to help speed the process. Do yourself a favor and get yourself a lid lifter, a good pair of fire gloves, a plastic scrub brush and a whisk broom for brushing the lid off (you don't want ashes spoiling your hard earned dinner!). Also, read the manual that comes with it so you understand how to take care of, and use, your oven. I also recommend joining the Dutch Oven Cooking group on yahoo. You'll get great information on how to spin the lids for a tight fit, cook in them, hook up with other like-minded Dutch Oven folks in your area, etc. Now for the negative: I did have to send the first one back as the lid rocked quite a bit (about 1/8"). A bit too much for a Dutch Oven, and a bit disappointing based on what I read about Lodge's reputation. You want the lid to fit pretty good so that you can build up a bit of pressure inside the pot and, more importantly, not lose your cooking heat. In the outdoors, efficiency is important! All-in-all, though, you can't beat Lodge for overall quality, and you can't beat desertcart for customer service. The return process was pretty effortless and the second oven had a lid that fit with very good tolerance (like 1/16" or less). Read carefully: A little bit of lid rocking is okay!!! Following the trip, a scrub down with water and a brush, followed by drying and applying a light coat of olive oil, made it look brand new - even after it had been exposed to open flames and hot coals directly on the lid. So, aside from having to do a what I think was a little quality control for Lodge, I'm very happy with my purchase and recommend this product. I'm giving it 5 stars because, in the end, I got great customer service and an affordable (dare I say beautiful? Yeah, I love it!) oven that will last *literally* for generations! ## Features - Heavy-Duty Camping Cookware: Designed for campfire coals, the Lodge Seasoned Cast Iron Camp Dutch Oven uses a flanged lid to distribute heat above and below for even cooking - Versatile Lid: The Dutch oven lid also holds hot coals and inverts for use as a griddle - Bail Handle Convenience: A sturdy bail handle makes this portable cast iron pot convenient to carry, hang from a tripod, or move on and off hot coals while camping - Traditionally Crafted Non-Toxic Finish: Crafted with only iron and oil, this cast iron camp dutch oven makes dependable, chemical-free cooking easy - About Lodge Cast Iron: Lodge cookware is versatile and as easy to clean as it is to cook with; taste a difference in your cooking with cast iron ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004W4TXZI | | Best Sellers Rank | #17,956 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #46 in Dutch Ovens | | Brand | Lodge | | Brand Name | Lodge | | Capacity | 5 quarts | | Color | Deep Camp Dutch Oven | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 6,977 Reviews | | Finish Type | Non Stick | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00075536381107, 10075536381104 | | Included Components | Camp Dutch Oven | | Item Diameter | 10 inches | | Item Dimensions | 11.55 x 11.5 x 7.75 inches | | Item Dimensions W x H | 11.55"W x 7.75"H | | Item Shape | Round | | Item Type Name | Camp Dutch Oven With Lid | | Item Weight | 13.5 pounds | | Lid Material | Cast Iron | | Manufacturer | Lodge | | Material | Cast Iron | | Model Number | Camp Dutch Oven With Lid | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Part Number | Camp Dutch Oven With Lid | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only, Oven Safe | | Shape | Round | | Temperature Rating | 260 °C | | UPC | 075536381107 786173740782 789542490134 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Lodge - **Capacity:** 5 quarts - **Color:** Deep Camp Dutch Oven - **Finish Type:** Non Stick - **Material:** Cast Iron ## Images ![Lodge Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Deep Camp Dutch Oven with Lid, 5 Quart - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/612gVP7Ax1L.jpg) ![Lodge Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Deep Camp Dutch Oven with Lid, 5 Quart - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ucKeKS2NL.jpg) ![Lodge Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Deep Camp Dutch Oven with Lid, 5 Quart - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91gJdywNwHL.jpg) ![Lodge Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Deep Camp Dutch Oven with Lid, 5 Quart - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/813xXbpfGYL.jpg) ![Lodge Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Deep Camp Dutch Oven with Lid, 5 Quart - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818b+swH-IL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Absolute King of the Campfire – Massive Capacity and Easy to Maintain! *by B***N on May 9, 2026* If you are cooking for a large group or a big family at the campsite, the Lodge 10-Quart Camp Dutch Oven is the ultimate workhorse.

My grandmother's Martin cowboy skillet/spider skillet is on bottom, a Camp Chef No 10 in the middle, the Lodge No 8 on top. Top two have biscuits in them, bottom had a breakfast casserole. The Lodge lives up to Lodge's reputation. Very pleased with it. ***Bought from the Amazon Warehouse as an open box or perhaps returned. Arrived in a few days. Packaged in original box but it had been opened and taped shut with that scotch tape that has strings in it, so not by Amazon. It had the original box, packaging, and cookbook/owners manual with it. My 2 year old granddaughter had me read it to her over coffee yesterday - to each their own I guess*** I inherited my grandmother's 80 year old 12" spider skillet (looks like a footed dutch oven, only with a long pan handle instead of a bail) early last year. Being big on camping with my horses and friends and family and THEIR horses, I wanted to learn to cowboy cook. A few youtube videos and some reading later, I baked my first 5 layer breakfast casserole at camp last Easter in my grandmother's skillet, I was hooked on camp cooking, specifically with all the cast iron I inherited. Later last year, my dad made a tripod for me at his welding shop out of electrical conduit, complete with adjustable chain and hook. An scavenged charcoal grill grate with chains allows me to grill over the camp fire or keep the coffee warm. Back to the dutch ovens - I now own a previously owned 14" no name (base of the tower) my grandmother's 12", a Camp Chef 10" and this Lodge 8". I have not used it yet. Lid fits tight, no wobble (Unlike the camp chef) and the feet are sturdy, substantially sized (Unlike my 14", which has thin, almost spindly looking feet). I found no imperfections in it. Seasoning is good, but obviously a very light starter coat. I would say this size is good for small things, like a small pan of cornbread, a small (Or just a deeper) peach cobbler, perhaps some camp taters (Canned sliced potatoes, bacon, onion, can of cream of mushroom, cheese), a side dish, something like that.
