When
I began cooking with Dutch
ovens, with my mother as
my teacher,
we always
cooked on the ground
. When I got older, I
decided the ground was a
little too low for me to
work on , so I thought
there must be a
better way and I began to
think of something so I
didn't have to bend over
so much . There are many
different ways to
accomplish this but
everything I found to buy
had something wrong with
it. So I decided to build my own.
The
stove I build has a place to hang
all your tools on and a
place to put the lid down
so you don't have to hold
it while you add to the
oven or stir the food. The
removable legs are
made of pipe and attach to
the stove with a pipe coupler. The
hooks for the tools are on
a piece of tubing that
stands above the end of
the stove. The back of the
stove folds up and is held
up by two rods that also
holds the two shelves that
hold the oven lids. This
serves as a wind break.
My stove is 16 inches wide
by 40 inches long, but
could be of any size that
fits your needs. This one
holds three 12 inch ovens with
room to spare.
When
your cooking is done, you
simply put the hook stand, legs,
and rods that hold the back
up, inside and lower the
lid and secure with 2
bolts that hold it closed.
The suitcase handle makes
it easy to carry.
