C.W. WELCH,or Cee Dub as many people know him, first tasted Dutch oven cooking on family camping trips in the 1950s. Little did he realize that watching his folks cook over a campfire would be his first step toward authoring several Dutch oven cookbooks and filming 2 television series devoted to Dutch oven and outdoor cooking. During his 29-year career in wildlife management and law enforcement, outdoor cooking was a necessity, not a recreational pastime. Cee Dub lives in Grangeville, Idaho.
