Put chicken broth in the bottom (1/3 of way up butt side).
That's a lot of liquid to heat up before you start cooking any meat. I use that much for the crock pot but wonder if a little less might be more prudent for the DO?
In a 3-4 hour cook time there is a certain amount of evaporation that happens with DOs as they are not hermetically sealed. The chicken broth which amounts to 1 - 1 1/2 cups keeps it moist for tenderness during the long roast. You know it's ready when you can smell the meat searing. This method has always worked well for us. We put the coals on and take the dogs for a walk. We come back, put more coals on and visit with other campers, etc.
