I geared up with a Lodge 12 Camp Oven (with legs, and a rimmed lid) for a chili contest this winter, and have been very happy with it. Did a great job on some beef stew as well. I really need to get it out and cook some other stuff on it.
...and lemme just say that if you walk into a chili contest with a big black cast iron pot covered in ash, you might have already won. ;-)
