Outdoor Cast Iron Cooking Ideas

Cast Iron is the perfect material for your outdoor cooking. The thick solid build is great for distributing the unpredictable heat from live fire and is robust for hard outdoor use compared to other modern options.

There are three main cast iron items you may want to consider using while cooking outdoors these are the Dutch oven, skillet, and pie iron.

With the combination of good fire control (or the use of charcoal briquettes) more complicated cooking methods are possible like roasting and baking.
