A Taste Of History

[Mooseherder]

The show on PBS called A Taste Of History has peaked my interest.  The show gives you some insight  on American History along with some great dishes Chef
Walter prepares in an open hearth setting.  The cookware is intriguing.  I would love to have his set-up.  Does anyone know where you can purchase this style of cooking ware?   If you haven't seen a show yet it's worth the look.

Haven't heard of it until now but I'll be watching for it, about the only thing I can stand to watch anymore are cooking shows.

What kind of cookware is it cast iron?

I just checked out the web site for the show, it does appear he was using cast iron spider pots, I found some listed on e-bay,

Lodge currently makes all sizes of "camp" Dutch Ovens that have legs. If you don't want to go through the trouble of using coals for heat, use an "oven" Dutch oven which does not have legs nor does it have the lip on the lid to hold the coals.

I have two Dutch ovens one with legs one with out both lids have the lips to hold coals we use them a lot when camping

My favorite camping cast iron is an old Griswold Double Skillet. I can use it as a Dutch Oven and have coals bottom/top and it breaks down into 2 skillets, one deep for frying and the other as a regular cast iron skillet. They don't make these any more and are getting harder to find.
