DO on propane BBQ

Is it ok to cook with my DO on a propane BBQ?

    Don't you just love acronyms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :R
  • DO = Dutch Oven. Sure as long as you can control the temperature(s) you need.
  • I'm no lawyer, but I don't believe there are any laws against it anywhere in the continental US. Now maybe in Canada or Alaska . . . .

    Will it work? I wouldn't know why not.
  • Yes, you can. Just don't get the iron red hot. Let it cool off naturally, no cold liquids.

    I have 30,000 btu burners and my CI DO does fine.

    Excellent reply to the ambiguous "DO on propane BBQ". ;)

    I thought someone was barbequing DOs. :B
  • If it is supposed to be a long dutch oven cook, I'd think indirect heat so you don't burn the bottom of your food. Otherwise, cast iron cooks over open flame all the time with no problems.

    No problem using the DO on the BBQ. I even put my big Le Creuset on the Weber Gas BBQ from time to time, which is basically the same thing but enameled.
  • I use my camping DO on my gas stove at home and in the RV all the time.
