DO Stand

[robertaw]

I put mine direct in the pot but there those on here who would cry foul because it will attack the seasoning so if that is a worry , a foil D.O. liner is a good idea.

By "seasoning" do you mean the surface of the DO? I remember my grandma saying that cast iron had to be seasoned. I am searching yard sales for one but may have to buy one new.

In the meantime, I may just try out your recipe in covered roasting pan.

I learned something this weekend.......

Walkers come in different widths.

My first one in the picture is plenty wide for me to use (jokingly thank God).

I picked up one Saturday and my fat butt barely fits between the handles

It seems there are sizes ( large, medium ,and youth ) perhaps

Anyway the little round dish that would not fit on my 1st and 2nd walker will fit on the narrower one I picked up Saturday.

I hope to have 4 or five to take to the Crossroads of America Gathering for sale.

Bobhenry, I couldn't bring myself to buy one! A pretty sharp guy on the forum showed me how to build one!

Same guy showed me how to build my redneck HDTV antenna.

Get on line and look up "dutch oven cooking" There are dozens and dozens of sites that will walk you thru the care and use of a dutch oven.

and yes they are not just for camping. Things just cook better in cast iron EVEN in the kitchen oven.

For good cast iron real cheap try "shopgoodwill.com"

I love to re purpose Joanne`s is great for using stuff out of my junk pile and very strong for use with the scouts. Yours is very futuristic as I may need it to walk to the camp fire after I use it to cook on. Great job go green, do it cheep, and keep the landfills empty.

AWE !

You guys are just full of gleeful insight. Now I don't know if it will melt down, set the rubber hand grips on fire or give me polymer fume fever from the paint.

Ya sure know how to rain on a guys parade.


BUT thanks for caring

One final update.......

The table has been used on 3 outings now . The most recent , it spent a little over 2 hours cooking a 6 pound meatloaf .

The steel dish metal has in no way deformed from the heat. The paint is still intact and with a good soap and water scrubbing you could hardly tell it from new. The handgrips have been unphased , as suspected they are far enough away from the heat that they do not see enough heat to become a problem. The little side basket and the bottom shelf have both proven to be very handy. Best of all it knocks down in 30 seconds and transports very easily.

Well, I finally got mine built. So far haven't found a basket or something to go on the side of it. I really like the way yours turned out. Thanks for the help in getting mine built. Our Goodwill store here doesn't have much but I keep looking. Got my garage sale people watching for a dish for the table size. Looking forward to meeting you in July.

Well my supply of side basket material arrived !



Yet another Goodwill find there 14"x14" vinyl coated
(no rusting) wire frames there were 15 of them bundled
together for $3.00

Another walker was available and I grabbed it. This one
had a sling seat and a light went on in my tiny brain.
I used the seat hook to hang the basket



Here is a close up so you can see the mounting hooks



Yes I tossed one of my table top dishes on for the pic.

[Catoosa Grani]

I thought I was pretty good at looking at objects and making them into something useful but I can't compare with you and your ideas. That is a great idea. Now I will look with my mind, not just for baskets. You could write a book on new ideas in crafts especially for TD's and TTT's. Excited to see your next idea.

Thanks,
Grani

I second the motion.... I'm thinking you could probably make yourself a PDF Ebook on using garage sale / goodwill items repurposed to other good camping items. Just a list of some of your creations and how to's.

Then just throw it on ebay... any money you make from it can go to new camping devices from goodwill...


I like your pvc table holder, crutch table leg, DO table, the list goes on and on... Keep your eyes open for the perfect rooftop fishing pole holder that the rest of us are not recognizing while your at it and I"ll buy your ebook just because. lol
