Here is tonights DO recipe test. :thumbsup:

Rhubarb Crisp
6-8 cups Rhubarb (I used eight)
1 ½ cups sugar
1 white cake mix
1 package (3oz) strawberry jello
1 cup water
1 cup butter

12 charcoal underneath, cover top (I would use less on the bottom next time)

Cover bottom of pot with rhubarb, sprinkling sugar on top. Mix jello and cake mix together dry, and then sprinkle evenly on top. Spoon the water evenly over then entire surface (it is critical that the water is spooned gently, rather than simply poured over). Cut the butter into thin slices and place on top. Cover and cook until brown and crispy (approx 45 minutes)

That looks quite tasty! Sounds easy enough for me to make too, (a big plus, as I'm no cook by anyones standards).

Barbara,
That looks great!!!
I see you got yourself a Camp Chef...
Have you ever used the themometer port on that to monitor cooking temps???
I've been tempted to use a die grinder and incorporate that feature into a Lodge oven to see if it will work...

Dean.

I attempted to use the thermometer port during our last camping trip. But I had grabbed the espresso thermometer which only goes to 240. OOPS!

Barbara--

That looks great! Are you going to make it down to Pamplin Grove for the IRG? I sure would like a taste of that.

Barbara, I just got a new DO (10" outdoor) for my collection. I also have an 8" and a 10" "Ultimate DO". Next trip I want to try some of the recipes that the board has posted. The UDO is a "full meal" cooking device. I plant to try a beef roast with potatoes and corn. If I make corn bread, I'll use the 8" DO.

I get hungry just talking about it.

Next trip is the Toledo, Ohio Bules festival on July 28-29. This trip will include my 23 year old and the dog (11 years old) and me (61 years old). Should be fun, fishin' and blues. :thumbsup:

Kurt,

I am interested in getting a UDO and trying it out. So much cast iron, so little time! :lol:

Barbara, You might be able to combine your recipes into a full meal version with the UDO. I haven't used it much but this summer will be a good test.
There are plenty of recipes for it on the net.
