Maybe someone can design a pull out drawer with little holes for the legs of each size DO. Then they won't wander and they are already packed.

I know that doesn't make sense for those who carry more than 2 or 3 but it might be nice to have them right there.

We use 5 gal paint bucket for the 8" and 10" DO. The 8" fits in the bottom and 10" on top with a piece of 1/2" foam between them. than have a Wal-mart throw away charcoal grill pan for a lid. The pan doubles as a coal/ash pan while cooking.

We use another bucket for the chimney, fire tongs, gloves, and other fire tools, same lid.

Haven't found anything for the 12" and 14" yet so they just get stuffed up in the front of the truck bed.

I finally got around to taking a pic. I have my ovens in padded bags. I throw them on top of the bed, no fear of getting the sheets dirty.

I like the padded bags. I am going to find/make one for my waffle maker also. I just bought the Lodge bag for the dutch oven cook table for the table we are building.
