Is there a difference cooking in D.O without legs than in one with legs and a flat lid:h

Bummer...... I had a round lid DO given to me and didn't realize it is a stove top/oven type. I suppose it would be hard to cook with that type DO over an open fire..... harder to regulate temperature ??
Cooking with a flat bottom & flat top DO isn't all that much more difficult.
You just have to make sure the bottom layer of coals are level (hot ashes are often sufficient on bottom).
The lip-less lid will do fine job of holding coals. You just need to be a little more careful if/when you peak inside because the ashes may slide off the lid. I typically brush my ashes off before peaking inside & I use a DO lid lifter so i can lift the lid straight up. Or you could make a lid lip out of foil (or nest a frying pan down in there)
