This is a great product. The pre-seasoning is a wonderful feature and the oven has performed flawlessly. This is made in the US and the quality is exceptional. Be sure to leave it to someone in your will because it will last a long time!

What real men cook with! ! ! !
I own the Lodge 12" deep. It's large enough to make food for 8 people. The first time I used this oven, we were camping and I made chili. Being the kind of guy that thinks he's smarter than the manufacturer, I used more coals than recommended. About 20 minutes after I added the tomatoes, I opened the lid and found a rapidly boiling pot of chili. It came out great, but I didn't need to use more coals than they recommended. I bought a large patio block and use it at home as well as camping. The best addition to this oven is to buy the lid lifter. Don't buy one of these if you're looking for something that requires no care at all. You shouldn't wash these with soap, just hot water and a stiff brush for scrubbing. Then it needs to dry completely and then oiled. I dry it by heating it back up. If you don't do this every time, it will rust. That's just the nature of cast iron cookware. It's fun, and is really kind of a hobby. The oven comes with a users guide complete with care instructions and recipes. There's also a lot of cookbooks for dutch oven cooking.

Lodge Logic 8 quart camp dutch oven
We are very pleased with our Lodge Logic 8 quart camp dutch oven. It's true about the preseasoned readiness of the dutch. Straight out of the box, we rinsed it with hot water, applied a thin coat of cooking oil, and started cooking. The instruction/recipe book was most helpful to us,being first time owners. It listed the amount of charcoal needed for various cooking temperatures and sizes of the dutch ovens being used. We used one of our own recipes, stuffed meatballs. The food turned out great! We think it tasted better. We plan on buying a 10" and an 8" camp dutch to use with this 12" so we can try the stacking method of cooking. As a side note, we found the Weber chimney charcoal starter to work well, and at a price under 13 bucks at the HomeDepot. Also my husband came up with the idea of using leather welding gloves for safe handling of the charcoal chimney and the hot dutch. We found a pair at Sears for under 10 bucks. To use our dutch while camping we thought it best to use a metal container of some sort for a cooking table that is light weight and packable. We found the solution at a restaurant supply store, a huge 15"dia.aluminum cake pan with 2" sides. We also found 16" tongs at that store. This is a fun and tasty way of cooking outdoors.
