Plans for the Appalachian Ministry Network 2019 Royal Rangers Pow-Wow have been

finalized. Pow-wow will be held at the Raleigh County 4-H Camp in Daniels, WV 25832 from June 20-23, 2019. We wanted to get this information out as soon as possible to provide the opportunity to have one the best Network Pow-wows ever for the boys to experience.

Our Pow-wow theme is "Medieval Times". Pow-wow participants will enjoy many Medieval game and competition style activities. We want to encourage each outpost to develop a medieval "feel" to your outpost and campsite. We are inviting boys and commanders to come up with a medieval theme and come to Pow-Wow dressed up in medieval apparel. It would be so awesome to see other knights, squires and jesters traveling throughout the campsites during Pow-wow, heraldry flags flying, celtic music playing, and draw bridge entrances to campsites (for just a few examples). My understanding is that "Sir Eats-A-Lot" is scheduled for a re-appearance at our Pow-wow.

We will also have a "build your own costume" competition day on Friday. We are asking that each outpost bring cardboard, duct tape, spray paint, and other materials for making swords, helmets, and shields.

Camping at Pow-wow will be by outpost and in tents. Provision and preparation of meals will be the responsibility of each outpost. If your outpost would like to have a staff member visit your campsite to fellowship with your boys and leaders, please prepare for one extra person to feed. (You can let staff know at registration if you are prepared). At least one district staff member will be available to visit at each meal time. We would love to spend some one on one time with you and your outpost. We will provide more details at the Pow-wow for picking up your staff member for the meals (location, time, etc.). A medieval style meal invitation would be appreciated by each staff member as a keepsake from this Pow-wow.

Ground fires are not permitted in camp sites. Outposts will only be allowed to have above-ground fire pits. Also, we appreciate families bonding, but ladies are not permitted in the campsite area after council fire. However, they are welcome to help out during the day and to attend the awards ceremony on Saturday.

We are excited and look forward to seeing you at Pow-Wow! If there are any questions, please contact us through the www.appalachianrangers.com website.

Dutch Oven Camp Cooking Tips

Pro Dutch Oven Camp Cooking Tips! Sure, RVs have amazing state-of-the-art kitchens with awesome stoves and ovens but sometimes you just gotta be OUTSIDE while you’re in the great outdoors on your camping trips! Cooking in a cast iron Dutch oven at your campsite allows you to get a dose of

vitamin D, cook a feast fit for your favorite foodies … all at the same time that you are smelling the fresh pines and hanging out with your friends in the wilderness. You can cook directly over a campfire flame, cook with coals from a campfire or for more precise temperature control, use charcoal briquettes with proper dutch oven coal placement. Today that’s what we’ll focus on as the heat source. Psst we’re compensated…see our disclosures.

Keep The Dutch Oven Off The Ground

The colder and wetter the ground is, the more it will steal heat away from your Dutch oven. To avoid heating the ground instead of your food, place a fireproof barrier between the ground and your bottom coals. I like to use a cast iron griddle for this; old cookie sheets work too. &

Turn It Rotate the oven throughout the cooking time so everything cooks evenly. ¼ turn for the bottom (say clockwise) then ¼ turn in the opposite direction for the lid (this would be counterclockwise.) I like using a lid-lifter for this process but you can also use heat-resistant gloves or another favorite flameproof tool. &

Lodge A5DLL Deluxe Lid Lifter

Keeping it rotating is simple to do but one of the easy-to-forget Dutch Oven Camp Cooking Tips. No matter how much you try to evenly disperse the coals, it is still possible to get “hot” and “cold” spots when cooking with a Dutch oven. The easiest way to accomplish the rotation for even cooking is to use a lid lifter. This is a deluxe model Dutch oven lid lifter made from heavy duty steel and has really nice comfort grip handles.

&

Keep It Cooking If you are cooking something that takes a longer period of time, you will have to add coals throughout the cooking process. Don’t wait for your coals to go out before starting the next batch! Anticipate that you will need to add coals about every hour or so depending on a few factors. If you have a fast-burning charcoal (usually the cheaper stuff) and if you have windy conditions, you will need to add coals sooner than if you have the opposite conditions. &

Deep vs. Shallow Dutch Ovens Why are there two types of depth in Dutch ovens? Because sometimes you cook and other times you bake! 😉 &

Lodge L12DCO3 Deep Camp Dutch Oven, 8-Quart

Our list of Dutch Oven Camp Cooking Tips would not be complete without mentioning that different types of cooking require different types of equipment. Are you cooking or baking? You have different types of cooking needs depending on your answer to that question. A deep-sided Dutch oven is designed to cook things that need more room like meats, soups, stews and veggies. &

Texsport Cast Iron Dutch Oven – 8 Quart

For the bakers in the crowd, our list of Dutch Oven Camp Cooking Tips highlights the difference between cooking and baking. A regular-sided Dutch oven (in contrast to a deep-sided Dutch oven) is designed more for baking; they are sometimes called “bread” ovens. With the lid closer to the food, the baked goods will brown evenly on the top and bottom. If you try to bake in a deep-sided Dutch oven it will be more difficult to get the top of your food browned before you burn the bottom. &

Dutch Oven Size Matters The size of your Dutch oven determines how much fuel you need to maintain a particular temperature. It also determines how much food you can cook and is really important when baking things like cakes and breads.

Dutch Oven Typical Sizes And Capacities

Typically you will find these oven sizes in these capacities: 8 Inch – Regular 2 Quarts, 10 Inch – Regular 4 Quarts, 10 Inch – Deep 5 Quarts, 12 Inch – Regular 6 Quarts, 12 Inch – Deep 8 Quarts, 14 Inch – Regular 8 Quarts, 14 Inch – Deep 10 Quarts, 16 Inch – Regular 12 Quarts.

Dutch Oven Coal Placement Is Key

Camp Cooking Dutch Oven 350 Degree Easy Rule Of Thumb Lots of recipes are cooked at a standard temperature of 350 degrees. So, if you don’t have a temperature chart with you at your campsite, here is an easy rule of thumb that will help you achieve that temperature. Take the size of your Dutch oven in inches and multiply by 2 to get the total number of coals for cooking; then for the coal placement, set 1/3 of the coals under the oven and 2/3 of the coals on the top of the oven lid.

Here’s the math for a 12” Dutch oven 12” Dutch oven x 2 = 24 coals total. Place 8 coals under the oven and 16 coals on the top of the lid.

Weber 7416 Rapidfire Chimney Starter

One of the best Dutch Oven Camp Cooking Tips we have deals with timing. Your coals need to be ready at the time you want to begin cooking; this Rapidfire Chimney Starter is a great tool to keep you on track. This thing starts your charcoal briquettes quickly without the need for lighter fluid. We “load” the starter in advance by counting the number of briquettes required for the particular camp recipe, put them in the hopper and put a bit of wadded up newspaper at the bottom of the starter. Just before we are ready to cook, a simple strike of a match will light the newspaper and get the charcoal going quickly and evenly.

Dutch Oven Charcoal Placement Tips For Less Precise Temperatures

If you don’t need to maintain a specific temperature, you can just “heat the oven” and cook. When you do this you can use the “Plus 4 and Minus 4 Rule of Thumb” which means you take the size of your Dutch oven in inches and add 4 to get the number of coals for the top of your oven (Example: A 12” Dutch oven + 4 = 16 coals on top of the oven) and subtract 4 to get the number of coals for the bottom of your oven (Example: A 12” Dutch oven – 4 = 8 coals on bottom of the oven. A total of 24 coals are needed for a 12” Dutch oven).

Here’s the math and coal placement for a 10” Dutch oven

10” Dutch oven 10 + 4 = 14 coals on top 10 – 4 = 6 coals on bottom 20 coals total needed for 10” Dutch oven
