Really nice cookware
I like the smooth interior of Smithey cookware. The only negative is just a cast iron issue in that it is heavy. Oh to be young again when that didn’t matter.
The Smithey Dutch oven is non-enameled and naturally seasoned with a pure grape-seed oil. While great for breads, soups, stews and more- boiling pasta or water is not the best use of your Smithey Dutch oven.
A well-seasoned Smithey does not fear any acidic dishes. Before diving into chili and tomato sauces however, we recommend establishing a more mature seasoning layer through baking or frying.
Yes! When using as a campfire Dutch oven we recommend inverting your lid so coals will stay on top.

This is a very nice piece of cookware. I am using it to bake sourdough bread. I must say though that it is very heavy for someone of my age . It is also very large to put in the oven (I must remove a rack for it to fit with the top on. I hope I can continue to use it for this purpose going forward.
This is a pot that will get eventually handed down for generations. Its "US Made" in the old sense of the statement...highest quality, durable, and timeless style. Great size for making bread, stew, chili. Every cook needs this in the kitchen.
Absolutely loves it, best Christmas present ever!
Great for family meals
I am really disappointed. My husband gifted me this pot for Christmas. I have cooked a beef stew and I couldn’t get a nice sear then I slow cooked in the oven at very love temperature and at the end of cooking the inside of the pot was black, the cooking liquid turned black. It was awful. I am not happy with the way it cooks. I would like to return this dutch o en.
