[Vision2020] Dutch ovens

[Sunil Ramalingam]

Thanks, Mark.

I've only found one brand in stores in town, which makes it difficult to 
assess how think the enamel is.  The on-line reviews I found of that brand 
has knocked it out.  I found a ceramic oven in Lewiston, but it has 'Break 
Me' written all over it; if I buy it I'll be out a bunch of money in no time 
at all, as clumsy as I am, so it has to be cast iron.

Thanks for the advice,

Sunil
