Don't big box stores in the UK carry them? I picked one up at my local superstore (granted it's canadian) for about 10$ CAN. I personally think that 25 pounds is WAY too much for a chunk of cast iron.

They are a fist class company, I have ordered loads from them and never had a problem, this includes five Mandella microwaves (dutch ovens) and they are of the highest quality.

Pignut had a good one at the members meet. I think the price was OK too.
Might be worth dropping him a PM.

I've got one from the e-bay supplier listed but mine had feet and a recessed lid (handy for heaping coals on). It is a good bit of kit - took a little seasoning but very nice

Not sure about in the UK, but I have an old fashioned 10 inch one from Lodge Logic. Cost me $90 Canadian, but it's American Cast Iron, and will last forever compared to the Made in China stuff I find in most stores. It's the nice kind with a ridge on the lid to hold coals ontop for even baking.
Try Antique shops mate. Got myself an old cast iron skillet that is still in perfect condition for $7.00!

Cast iron is rare over here in second hand shops. BB did find a fantastic skillet once that tooka fair bit of restoring but its a very unusual find

Really? would think with such an old history you guys would have more cast iron laying around than anyone else... besides Germany...
I've never walked into an antique store and not seen a piece of cast iron, gimme a bit of time, and I might find you one Stephen. Don't hold your breath on it though, I'm a slow walker .

I'm a bit lucky in this respect
as I got a Lodge Logic 'Dutch Oven' and cast iron frying pan at a US Armed Forces Base Exchange Shop. The oven was $20 and the frypan about $15. Being a bit tight, I would not have paid full retail price for either. I've no idea if Lodge Logic have a dealer in the UK but I suspect P&P would be pretty horrendous from the US.

Anything like that would probably be sold as a twee-looking ornament, rather than as a practical cooking utensil. You can imagine the mark-up on an ornament in an antique shop...

I have the same model by the sounds of it and rate it highly. I was given a camp cookery book for Christmas (all pink frilly aprons etc
) and have only glanced through it really, but the chapter on Dutch Ovens says that the ones with feet and a lipped lid are for camp cooking, the flat-bottomed ones for stove-top.I suppose in all honesty you could use both for either purpose, but putting coals on the lid for baking is a definite plus IMO.

There's a book by an Australian guy called Jack Absalom which has a shedload of Dutch Oven (or 'Camp Oven' as they call it) recipes. This is him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Absalom

Don't for get that part of that history include 2 world war in which for moral there was a load of scrap metal drives. All you have to do is walk about towns here to see where Victorian railing where cut down, When you think that the nearest big town to me (Warrington, Cheshire) even melted down their Crimean War memorial how many old cast iron pot and pans do you think went into the pot as well.
The real shame was that most of the metal recovered was of very low quality and almost useless. It was mainly used to make people feel apart of the war effort.
Back on the dutch oven I know it is not a oven but I love my 8" Skillet and lid that I got here http://www.4x4touring-gear.com/ProductCategory.aspx?id=144

I saw some ovens on this site, I don't know if these are good prices, but there seemed a decent range

hmmmm at some of those prices I think an old gas bottle and an angle grinder may need to be used ? ilan
My girlfriend has just brought these, and is very happy with them Very quick dispatch as well.
