Heavy-gauge cast iron construction for superior heat retention and even heat distribution
Domed lid design accommodates top-heat cooking with coals stacked on top
Compatible with campfire coals, charcoal briquettes, and camp stoves
Overview
The Camp Chef DO10 Deluxe Dutch Oven is crafted from heavy-gauge cast iron with a True Seasoned Finish — factory pre-seasoned and ready to cook straight out of the box. At 10 inches (25.4 cm) in diameter with a 6-quart capacity, it holds enough to feed a hungry group around the campfire, retaining and distributing heat evenly for low-and-slow braises, hearty stews, baked damper, roasted meats, and rich fruit cobblers. The reversible lid features three legs so it flips over to serve as a full-size skillet or griddle, effectively giving you two cooking surfaces in one compact piece of kit.
Purpose-built for Australian campfire cooking, this Dutch oven is right at home whether you're set up at a remote outback station, a coastal caravan park, or a weekend 4WD camp in the bush. Use it directly over campfire coals or on a camp stove, and stack hot coals on the domed lid to bake bread or roast a whole chicken with top-down heat — the built-in thermometer notch helps you monitor temperature without lifting the lid and losing heat. It ships with a lid lifter and a Dutch oven starter booklet covering seasoning and care, so even first-timers can get straight into cooking.

Common questions
How many people does a 6 quart oven really feed?
A small group for a stew, fewer again if you are doing a roast with vegetables packed around it. The 5.7 litre capacity fills faster than the number suggests, once you leave headroom for the lid to seal and for bubbling. For a crowd, two smaller ovens beat one huge one.
Is 5.4 kg too heavy for touring?
Heavy for a walker, unremarkable for a 4WD or a van. That mass is the whole point, because cast iron holds a steady temperature over uneven coals in a way thin steel never manages. Pack it low in a drawer or a crate, since 5.4 kg sliding around does damage.
What is the thermometer notch actually for?
Reading the inside without lifting the lid. Every lift dumps heat and drops ash into your food, and with coals stacked on a domed lid it becomes a two-handed job. Slide a probe through the notch instead and you can watch a roast climb without breaking the seal.
