re: Boy Scout Peach Cobbler

I got too complicated, I think. The 8 qt pots I first mentioned were the ones BSA Troop 88 had, I own a 6 qt pot, similar, but not the same brand as the BSA pots, like the one I showed a photo of (With the BSA Logo and charcoal briquettes around the top rim of the lid).

The pot I used to make this cobbler has a cast iron handle like you said, and a slightly domed lid, not the inverted ones most campfire stew pots have - to make it easier to put coals on top of the pot to provide heat from above. The one I used and show in my photos is actually is a 4 or 5 inch deep frying pan that, regardless of what I said is only about 5 quarts capacity.

I avoid using my campfire pot in the oven because it has feet (Just like the BSA pots) to hold it slightly above the coals when cooking. The deep frying skillet/pan I used to make this cobbler has no feet and works better in the oven.

Whew....
