RCR,  where are you located?  I'm bettin if you ask around a little, you'll find someone who can create what your lookin for.  almost anyone handy with a torch and welder can make almost anything.

Where you at, any good blacksmith can make them, good thing is most will work for food, or at least the ones I'm friends with.

You could also either watch garage sales like I do or buy new at any fireplace suppy place, thin even the big box hardware stores should have them.  Remember, by this time period a lot of stuff like that was massed produced and would be way cheaper than paying a good smith to make them by hand.

All I’ve came across out in So. Calif are a iron stick with a loop on one end they have no creativity out here. I have a few nice ones, but though are mine. I’m trying to get one for my brother-in-law; he built a new out side fire pit.

I know it sounds to simple, but I found a smith fro a friend here on the board in his town in S. Cal, I googled Blacksmiths in and then his towns name, got several hits.

If you don't find one, let me know, I know several out here in Newbrassy and I'm sure they would ship.

I found a few in Orange Co. I'll see if they can get it

Thanx all

Ah My Dear Mademoiselle Vous -

That is our Infamous Newbrassky Native Del Monico cooking literally everything in his  Cast Iron Dutch Ovens (  the pot with the little leggy thingers ) . He is known for baking pies as well as stews , roasts, etc in his Dutch Ovens, regulating temperature by the amount of coals he piles on top of and below these pots. A proper Dutch oven has a lid with a lip (that holds the coals) and said lid is ground to fit the pot most tightly... They are a thing of beauty and a joy to cook in when you have worked out their secrets ...

Now those are kind words my friend, but to be truthful there is no secrets, you just cook in them.  The hardest thing is folks need to get themindset that is taughtoday about cooking out of there minds.  You watch any cooking show and soon you'll get the idea that if you don't do things exactly like the host says it will fail.  Poooh on that, there have been far more dutch oven cooks in the world than cooking show hosts, if they were hard to use folks on many trails would have starved.

That picture was a couple months ago, demoed for the Boy Scouts, the troop that called me bought the groceries and got to eat it.  The other 500 or so had to fare for themselves.  Was beef stew, pork and kraut with tater dumplings, chicken and rice, and there is two ovens full of bread, the 14 shallows got used 3 times that day, once for white bread, once for rye and later for two peach cobblers.  also was a 20" skillet of fried apples.,

DV, if you move to V-ville like you've been talking about, one of the best in the west is just across the street and up the road a piece from you in Phelan.  Name's Tom Moseley, goes by Muley.  He might be at lunchTuesday.  If he is I'll see you get introduced.
