History
of the
Lone Star Dutch Oven Society
In the fall of 1994, the Lone Star Dutch Oven Society was established to form a Texas Society for people who are interested in cooking outdoors in Dutch Ovens. Dutch Ovens are cast iron cooking pots that originated in Europe many hundreds of years ago. In the 18th century they were manufactured in England, and brought to this country by Dutch Traders... thus the name "Dutch" ovens. These wood fired cooking utensils were of paramount importance to the pioneers who settled this continent. The great Texas cattle drives could not have happened without them.
Societies of Dutch oven cooking have existed in Utah and surrounding states for over ten years. The LSDOS was patterned after the Dutch oven societies in these areas, but we are truly Texas unique. Since that time our society has grown to include chapters in a dozen areas around the state. Each chapter hosts their local DOGS on their own schedule. Our society boasts some extremely competent cooks who are always willing to share their knowledge and experience. Some of our members have been cooking with these black pots for more than 40 years. Join LSDOS, whether you like to cook around a campfire or on your patio with charcoal, and make future history in Texas style cooking... with us!
