Welcome to Dutch Oven South!

Welcome to Dutch Oven South! We are here to promote the art of Dutch Oven Cooking, campfire cooking and all that it pertains to. We hope you will find some useful information here on our site. Appalachian Dutch Oven Masters is our Name we use for sanctioned cook-offs throughout the U.S.

Just a small background on me:


      I have been camping as long as I’ve been breathing, I grew up with parents who loved the idea of packing up me and my sisters on any given weekend and taking off to who knows where, the beach, the mountains, a small park in the next county, just wherever. My Father was involved in Scouting for almost 22 years, so he knew a few things about camp cooking and dutch ovens, he taught me some of the things I cherish today. In the late 1990’s I moved to Davis County Utah, huge in the art of dutch oven cooking. I spent the next year there and was re-introduced to using dutch ovens, and the proper way to maintain them. I learned a few recipes and went to a few cook offs. after moving back to the east coast in 2000 I did little with my knowledge until about a year or so ago when a friend of mine and long time driving partner got his first dutch oven, then I was into it again. Now I am committed to helping others in this area gain a love for the style of cooking that pioneered the United States, thus, here is my website. I’m not here to sell anything, you won’t find items for sale or trade here (except for on the forums). I want to encourage people everywhere, not just in North Carolina, to become acquainted with the cooking methods of our forefathers.


As this site is still under construction I ask that you be patient and check back often for updates and a list of upcoming events. I will soon be adding a page for recipes, if you would like to have one or more added to the site just send it in the comments section and let me know if you want me to list your name and such with it. As of April 1, 2010 we are just starting up and are looking for some ideas on where we can hold some classes and cooking demonstrations for enthusiast and the general public, if you would like to get involved please contact me HERE and let me know. Once again WELCOME and thanks for looking.
