We have had spiders for years and love to collect them. Check out our video titled Uncle Jimmy’s Dutches to see more I’m on a few Dutch oven Facebook pages and I never see a spider.
No definitely not regional. I just think most people use newer ovens. The spiders are generally older. Like I mentioned, my largest one was used on the old Santa Fe trail. @@olivei2484
I think Lode still makes them. Or, you can get a custom one at MACA Dutch ovens. You should be able to search for it online But, there’s nothing better than finding one in the back of an old Antique shop collecting dust.
I just bought at a antique shop a 13 inch Dutch oven. It has a flat bottom and a deep lid for coals. It weighs about 47lbs. It looks old. We’re the old ones that heavy?
