Practice Dutch Oven Cooking

 MAKE A PLAN TO COOK OUTDOORS (DURING A POWER OUTAGE)

• FIND a friend or family that loves to Dutch oven cook. Invite yourself over to watch!
• OBTAIN a Dutch oven, charcoal briquettes and lighter fluid.
• INVITE your experienced Dutch oven friends over and practice.
• STUDY AND ENCORPORATE Dutch Oven Techniques and Tips and Tried and True Recipes from our good friend Mark Miles’ CHUCK WAGON SUPPLY website.

 BUILDING ON YOUR PLAN

Prepare a spot in your outdoor space and cook something Dutch-oven-tasty soon. Invite the grandkids or the neighbors over if you need help consuming your creation(s)!

Give some thought to how you would lay out an emergency kitchen area if the power were off and your Alternative Cooking methods were kicked into gear. Consider the following:

• A portable table for staging. If Dutch Oven is to be your primary method of preparing food, you might look at the cooking tables on Chuck Wagon Supply.
• A portable covering such as a 10′ x 10′ Pop Up shelter.
• A bin for utensils, cookware, paper products, cleanup supplies, etc.
• A plan to invite/involve neighbors.
