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).

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.

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!

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...
