I’m thrilled to launch my 2025 Dutch Oven Cooking Classes!
Learn the lost art of cast iron cooking, campfire-style, with hands-on experience in Paradise Valley, Montana.
A New Season, A Timeless Tradition
Hey friends,
The fire is crackling, the cast iron is seasoned, and I’m thrilled to say—Dutch Oven Cooking Classes are officially open for the 2025 season!
If you've ever dreamed of cooking over an open flame, baking bread in a coal-covered pot, or recreating the magic of old-time campfire meals, this is your invitation to pull up a chair and dig in. Teaching this lost art is one of my greatest passions, and every year, it’s a joy to welcome both first-timers and seasoned outdoor cooks back to my fireside.
Why Dutch Oven Cooking?
There’s something soul-satisfying about cooking with cast iron and fire. It's not just about food—it’s about slowing down, connecting with nature, and creating stories you’ll tell for years.
My hands-on Dutch Oven Cooking Classes are hosted right here in Paradise Valley, Montana—just 38 miles north of Yellowstone National Park.
We teach everything from baking homemade biscuits to simmering stews and making cobblers that'll make even your Granny proud.

Keeping the Flame Alive
I started Dutch Oven Outfitters because I believe these old skills still matter.
They connect us to the land, to our ancestors, and to each other.
As someone who’s worked seasonal jobs for over 30 years, I get the grit it takes to live a life off the beaten path. My classes aren’t just about recipes—they’re about resilience, tradition, and learning how to live well with what you have.
