Deserts on the Dutch Oven Camp Chef Style






OUTDOOR CHEF KURT gave the kids at WILD WINDS RANCH a clinic on dutch oven cooking by making a couple of baked items.

I fired up the briquettes and got them going .


We used a double batch of brownie mix and a cherry chip cake double batch too.

Just oiled up my dutch oven pots good and warmed them up good and then poured in my mixes.

The kids almost got in a fist fight over who was going to lick the bowls.

Then I put my briquettes on top and bottom and waited for the magic to happen.

It took less than an hour and I had 2 beautiful baked dutch oven cakes .

The kids were very interested to taste the finished product so I iced and wrote on the cakes and it was game on .

the kids LOVED the cake and brownies so we taught them a little about dutch oven cooking they can use for a base of info when they want to try it for themselves.

Review: Gear Test Northstar Duffle bags, real Heavy Duty!




The Nice folks over at Northstar Sports in California, are getting into BBQ grill covers and currently have a great line of Duffle or Gear bags and the Gator bags.

They are going to be also reviewed this month. We received samples of the Gear Bags to test and they are super heavy duty and can hold a ton of stuff.

Here is a sample of the review, more at Onlinegrilling.com

Northstar Sports Duffle Gear bags


Gear Bags Northstar Sports is based out of California. They are making a better gear bag that will hold up to years of abuse! all heavy duty from top to bottom.

We are going to review two more new items they have a HD grill cover and a Gator Bag
Features: SD Sport Gear/Duffle bags

* Two Sizes in the Medium gear bags 12 x 24 and 14 x 30
* 1050 HD Tuffcloth
* Giant #10 zipper
* Wrap around straps

Overall Rating 5/5

Why do we like it?

These are designed to be multi function universal bag, not a lot of flash and logos, just quality rugged construction, The 1050 HD Tuffcloth looks ready to hit the battlefield, it reminds me of the first time we saw Ballistic cloth, without the high price.

I always like a jumbo (they call it construction grade) zipper because you can always stuff one more item in the bag.
What would we change on it?

Our testers liked the larger 14 x 30 size because it was small enough to store away and the 12 x 24 bag felt a little bit short for a weekend trip. However, the kids could easily use this as a overnight bag.

Overall it was a great bag and the price was nice.
Where can I get One?

It is available at many larger independent Sporting Goods stores, not yet at Amazon.com
