lodge CI question

[rg02]

so i recently bought the lodge 10.25" CI skillet. i am now looking at the 5qt lodge CI DO. i have seen two versions---one with the flat lid with the handle on top and one with a skillet lid. my question, will the flat lidded dutch oven lid work as a lid on my 10.25" skillet as well? seems like it should but i wanted to double check!

I think it would work but if not you'd still get lots of use of out both the skillet and DO.

Go to a sporting goods store and play around with them til you find what you want. Gander Mountain, Bass Pro, Cabelas, most stores like that have them.

I will check out target. I believe they stock both the skillet and DO so I can see if it will work. Thanks.

Re:

Please tell us what you find out when you go to Target.

If you find one of these "spiders" for the Dutch Oven then you can put it
in the fire and invert the lid of the "camp" DO over it and use the inside
of the lid as a skillet. You'll only need to use a small shovel of coals
with the spider and be off to the side of the main camp fire.

With this set up you can prepare a whole breakfast meal after first having baked biscuits in the same DO. Just wrap the biscuits up in towels after
they are baked and then take the spider and lid to fry eggs, bacon, sausage etc. The bottom of the DO can be used to boil water for clean up as you cook breakfast and eat.

If you have a skillet you want to use then you can use the same spider.
If you have a stove top DO and want to take it to the camp fire, then the spider will make it usable too.

Yep! Like this

FYI, 5qt DO lodge lid with handle works perfectly on lodge #8(10.25") skillet as well as the #8 lodge 3" deep skillet :D

Forgot, I need a spider so I can use the standard DO(don't own a camp DO yet) over charcoal....
