I have a very heavy old griswold dutch oven.  I like to slow cook.  You have 
to be careful with cast iron slow cooking though.  Like , never put chicken 
necks in slow cooked baked chicken.  Otherwise they cook to pieces and every 
bite you have a tiny d*mn bone.

  It gives a different flavor than the crockpot, but I am incomfotable 
leaving the house with the oven on (I really don't even like leaving with the 
crockpot on, I just make myself leave).  I am paranoid about anything 
starting a fire.  I have a smoke detector in every room. and a total of eight 
fire extinguishers.   ...bobford
