Some have a ridge around the top that allows you to pile coals on it, and 
I've seen it used to bake beans the old fashioned way.

Mine is the one labeled 'Cast Iron Dutch Ovens' in 7 quarts not the 'Camp 
Dutch Oven'. I do have a couple of smaller ones with a raised rim that are 
good for a 1 cup serving of oatmeal or rice. 

It's versatile. I cook stews, curries, and so forth on the stove top. 
Other times I'll start on the stovetop to brown the meat, onions, and 
garlic, add tomatoes or whatever, bring it to a boil, and then put it in a 
slow oven.  Beans are the same. Soak them, bring to a boil until the skin 
peels off the bean when you blow on it, add the molasses and mustard, and 
then put it into the oven for a few hours. I'll reheat leftovers in the 
oven especially if it's chilly in the kitchen.

My frying pans are also cast iron. If nothing else a 10" cast iron frying 
pan makes an excellent weapon even if it is too big for cooking for one.
