Sassafras’s product page does not give the total weight, weight you lift hot or maximum oven temperature for this model.

Our estimate is from the 10.5 in base under a dome 4.75 in deep inside, wider than the 10.2 in inside a 5.5-quart round Dutch oven, using our Dutch oven size guide; it is a guide for planning, and the maker's own figure would replace it.
