I've got a Lodge 5qt (10" I think) for the stovetop and a 12" with legs and flat/rimmed top. I enjoy using both of them. I also picked up a campfire tripod this year so we can take more of our cooking outside. I do chili, beans, soups and whatever I can in my dutch ovens. A definite crowd pleaser is cobbler. Lay out pulled pork sandwiches (or something off the smoker) with all the trimmings, then walk in with a piping hot DO cobbler and everyone will sing your praises.
I agree that you can't go wrong with Lodge... definitely worth the $$$. Their pre-seasoned stuff is great, but if you end up with a non-seasoned item, just follow the seasoning instructions and you will have a nice piece of cookware. I also use their 14", 12", 10" and 8" skillets and a couple of muffin pans. I have come to preferring cast cookware over the other stuff (aluminum, teflon coated, etc.).
Enjoy!
