3 leg Dutch Oven size help
« on: January 03, 2016, 09:35:35 PM »
Can anyone tell me what number (#8, #9, #10 etc) would be associated with a 3 leg Griswold dutch oven with a diameter of just a bit under 12"?

If you are talking the top diameter, you probably have a Griswold 10" Camp Oven. Griswolds have a a taper to them. The bottom is approximately 10" and the top is approximately 12". Those are the ones that a modern Lodge 12" CO lid will fit on. It should have the size on it.

Yes I have seen that chart, but it seems that these are for pans and the dutch ovens without legs.  Also the sizes don't match up with what I have.

Should have added that camp oven numbers are the size, or claimed size, of the diameter in inches. Skillets have a different sizing system where the number corresponds, or use to correspond, to what size stove eye hole the skillet's heat ring would fit into.

Great thank you.  The measurement was off by 1/4 from the "claimed size" of a #10, so I didn't think there would be that much variation and maybe a different numbering system.  I see very few of these 3 leg models around.  Seem kind of rare, but are they very desirable (in a #10 anyway)?
