I am a complete novices Dutch oven cook so this book was appreciated. It's a fast read with good simple to follow basic information. Some of the recipes I don't see myself ever trying it has a Game section on how to cook up game birds and animals such as coon. I do appreciate the menu suggested list but wish it had more Gluten Free options. But now I have the basics I can play around with my own recipes.

Loads of recipes, helpful photos; and ways to use a Dutch oven, not just on an open fire, but inside a standard home oven.

I was hoping to find some good recipes for camping. I didn't find any that looked appetizing. I did take away a couple ideas - pizza in the dutch oven, quiche in the dutch oven, baking bread... but I won't use any of his recipes...

I also disagreed with his briquette requirements for various temps. I think it needs to be doubled!
