50 plus #’s of ci is too much for CI camping!

I have to admit I am not versed in MFG model #'s, or pattern #'s, and especially in skillets. I am more familiar with DO.

When you converse with someone and refer to a skillet size, it is not exact, as in with dutch ovens.
On the cooking forums and fire side conversations, the sizes of skillets are refered to with their recognized diameter.
5", 8" 10" 15" 17" 20". It is an accepted size or reference. If you throw out casting or model sizes, most of us enthusiasts won't know what you are talking about.
DO have their accepted "size" cast in the lids. Now I am refering to "camp dutch ovens". If you are referencing a DO for a size of a dish, the fireside standard is volume. 1qt, 2qt, etc. If you refer to a diameter (the norm) and you aren't using the same manufacturer of DO, the capacity will be different.
Now that we have the people that just want to fix a meal all confused, lets take further discussion off line. OBTW if you you look at the recipes they refer to a 12" DO or a 10" DO. etc, When one gets into the "kettles" the reference is then pretty much in the volume listing, because the major manufacturer of these babies are not standard. OK off forum now.

 

Oh yeah, I agree 50# of ci is too much if you are just camping.
In fact if I am just camping I do pack to what the menu calls for.

How ever many of my camping trips are enjoined with a group, where many pots are required, or participating in a DOG (dutch oven gathering), so for those events I pack ALL my road ci, which I will guarrantee weighs more than 50#.
