Is this GENIUS or Just More STUFF?

If I were to buy a new DO it would be a GSI anodized aluminum, for sure! For weight, ease of use, ease of cleanup with soap, non-reactive, and no seasoning needed. Not quite as durable as cast iron, but quite durable with a minimum of care.
To me, the Camp Maid DO looks like a relabeled Lodge. Nothing wrong with that if you're looking for cast iron.
A folding charcoal chimney might take half the bulk out of my setup - would that make it easy enough to do more DO cooking when camping?

CampMaid has a new folding charcoal chimney coming out - designed to fold up small enough to fit inside a 12" dutch oven.
Maybe with aluminum dutch ovens and this chimney the whole DO setup gets small & light enough to use more often...
In my DO box:
Cast iron 12" DO/lid
Lid lifter
18" or so fire pan
Charcoal chimney (doubles as a place to set down the lid)
Long charcoal tongs
Big mitt
Charcoal
Newspaper
That's a lot of stuff. I think if the load were lighter I'd use it more often.
Try this as a chimney alternative. I've been using milk/juice carton material for years. This takes to the next level!

I HATE YOU !!!!! and only $87.00 on amazon, or was it $215.00 with all the bells and thing a bops-did i mention I HATE YOU!!! had to stop watching all the you-tube things(steaks-stews-no more), before I spent my gas money. I want two of them-one for the home and one for the pop-up! Could be interesting and a winner-need to think now and go mow the lawn or something, maybe time to have drink! Thanks ! I'll dream of that set-up for a while! Wonder if it would really work!
