During the cold, maybe not so cold right now, season I like to cook food over open fire. Especially with my Fire Pot or "Dutch Oven".
The Dutch Oven is a thick walled, cast iron pot designed to make food in over a fire. It is perfect for larger groups and probably lasts several generations (what happened to the profession "Tinker"??)

| The Fire Pot in Action |
 |
| My Fire Pot has a 4 L volume. Enough for 5 persons. |
 |
| First add a thin layer of fat. |
 |
| Then a layer of cabbage, at least 2 cm thick! The Cabbage will prevent the rest of the food getting burned. I added some bacon skins for extra taste & increased chance of heart diseases..... |
 |
| More cabbage...and bacon! |
 |
| Sausages! We forgot about sausages! |
 |
| I make up for it by adding a good amount! |
 |
| Potatoes! |
 |
| Rosemary. |
 |
| Quite a lot rosemary actually. |
 |
| More potatoes, celery and carrots. |
 |
| And onions. |
 |
| Ready to go! |
 |
| I place the pot on a cast iron tripod. |
 |
| A better picture of the tripod :-) |
 |
| Soon a delicious smell starts to spread... |
 |
| Better put the lid back on. |
 |
After 1 1/2 hours :-)
|
 |
| The cabbage got burnt a bit.... |
 |
| But nothing a high pressure cleaner can`t cope with.... |
 |
| It is a bit of work...but worth it :-) |
