Cast Iron Chefs and Dutch Oven Lovers

We haven't covered this topic in awhile so I'll post some new and old websites to help you along.

I like the pdfs that are downloadable. I print them out and keep them in a binder in the mh with my DO equipment.
Lodge DO Baking Temperature Chart.

KEY: On the ***** line, the bold number is charcoal bricks for the lid, the /# is the number for the bottom.
Ex: 10/5 means 10 charcoal bricks for the lid, 5 on the bottom under the DO.

Dutch Oven Dude has a very informative website including a briquette calculator (not downloadable).

  • You got me thinking about Dutch oven. Even though we're not camping right now, think I'll cook up "driveway" upside down pineapple cake.

    Thanks...
  • Thanks magnus. Heading for a RV rally next week and plan on doing a chuck roast and needed a refresher course. Your timing is impeccable!
  • Chuck roast is almost foolproof in a DO especially with a couple of peeled onions in there to sweeten it. We had that tonight. :w Don't forget to add the beef broth before lidding it.

    Pineapple upside down cake. Haven't had that in awhile. Now where's my recipe? I'll have to dig through my recipe binder.
