Mine has a 12 on it, I'm not sure of the qt's. It is good sized and works well if you only have 1.

I recently purchased this DO....  I got the bail handle so you didn't need 2 hands to move it....    I figured the large size would provide plenty of left over grub, which it does.... Anything worth cooking in a DO is great for left overs....  I re seasoned it using flax seed oil and let me say this, "It is a truly non stick cooking surface... better than Teflon or any of the other "mysterious" space age products"....

"And that's a fact ma'am" (Sgt. Joe Friday).... 9 qt may be too big for you but consider the left overs for sure...  We usually made hocks and beans, or chili, Jambalaya, Spaghetti sauce.... any large recipe that demands long cooking times and left overs....    

OK I've said enough.....    Dave

PS.... like FPNMF above..... One may not be enough.... once you use a properly seasoned chunk of cast iron, you are hooked...  OK, I had to say a little more....

I don't think its possible to have too many.

This is my stack, 14" on the bottom to a 5" on top.
