Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.

Karon is spot on though I feel it is worth adding that once cast iron is very well seasoned (like the skillet I use to cook for eight people a couple of times a day) you can use it occasionally for, say, a tomato sauce--or superheat it for searing--without having to reseason or getting a metallic flavor.

yeah, I LOVE Cast for searing. Especially for searing beef. I don't generally like searing other things in my cast iron if I plan to deglaze for a sauce. deglazing, by definition, is removing oils & food essence from the cooking vessel. so, that strips up your season. I use a different skillet for that. Matter of fact, I am, today, ordering my new Stainless large skillet.
most of my life I have had 'make do' cooking vessels. hand me downs, garage & thrift sales (nothing wrong with that) and regularly replaced inexpensive pots & pans.
Now that both kidlets are grown and on their own, WOW! I actually get to see part of the household income! It is AMAZING, the change that takes place in the wallet when the kidlets are finally paying their OWN bills! Of course, my first project is cooking. New pots and pans. Putting together a cohesive, lovely, related and matching set of cooking vessels. MMMM.
So, I have always had my cast iron, some were wedding gifts, way back then, and some have been purchased for or by myself for gift giving events. Cast is pretty set but, I am behind the curve for pots and pans, so, I am rectifying that. I can finally buy nice, lifelong, pass them down pots and pans. I'm very pleased.

I'd like to use a kettle as a cooking table.
Questions: Is it important to have a solid base under the oven to direct the heat?
Could I use the charcoal grate of a kettle for the bottom coals or should I put something solid in the kettle?
Easy enough to throw a paving stone in there but just wonderingif you think its needed.

I don't think I like that set up. if the coals are around the circumference, you have a cool spot in the middle. not a lot but you don't want hotspots, especially with long cooking/simmering. if you put in a paver, you are multiplying that by adding an insulator. If that is a footed Dutch Oven (and I think it may be) they are designed to sit in/on the coals, directly. The rim on the lid is so that the coals can be put on top of the Dutch oven so that heat comes to your food from all sides. Beyond that, so long as your Dutch Oven has enough support for the weight and the weight of the contents, you will be fine.
You are really going to LOVE cast iron.
Once denigrated as the pot a poor person uses, cooks recognize that because they are INCREDIBLE in the task, they are finally being paid the respect they have long deserved. No kitchen is complete without some well used, well loved cast iron.

There's those of us that have Never lost th' Faith in Cast Iron, leastways, not since 1962.
Your passion is appropriate, an', hopefully, will stir new people to discover this fantastic, wonderful method of cookin'
Bless ya', Karon Adams

LOLOL!!! BTW, did you hear? that sinkhole re-opened! Gov took the house, destroyed the house, filled in the hole with materials that, supposedly would never be washed away and surrounded the lot with a VERY high fence and all the warning songs. about 3 weeks ago, the hole suddenly opened, again! The neighbors are terrified! (with good reason) Geologists still don't know how deep the hole goes or what water source caused it. Neither the man nor the bed in which he slept were ever recovered. they just don't know how deep. SCARY stuff!

Over the years I've become fond of using feed pans to hold coals and my DO when cooking... sometimes I have several going at one time. I flip one upside down on the ground then place another on top with the DO...Amazon.com : Little Giant13 Quart Galvanized Feed Pan GP13 : Feed Pan Horses : Pet Supplies

gardenfish dutch oven cobbler is the bomb
-
DWCowles It was your recipe and pictures that got me going. Going fruit hunting in the next couple days. I will use flour and make my own mix instead of a pre-made mix. I can't wait. Your Peach cobbler with the ice cream looks awesome!
-
simplest Cobbler I have ever had was from my MIL (who, I'm sorry, is NO cook). It is a 1:1:1. one cup all purpose flour, one cup sugar, one stick butter. Slice your fruit, whatever fruit you want to use, mix the 1:1:1 to crumbly. slice your fruit into your dish. mix as much or as little of the topping into the fruit OR you can put all of it just on top. This makes a really nice starting point. You can adjust with other tastes and flavors, a little vanilla, some raisins with apples or craisins, some cinnamon (and buy REAL cinnamon, not what most places call cinnamon sticks. those are actually Cassia sticks. the taste difference is AMAZING!) whatever you want to add for taste, but, 1:1:1 is a great, easy place to start. Bake it off at 350 until the top is GBD and the juices are all syrupy and bubbly.
