Dutch Oven Coal Placement

Dutch ovens are an amazingly versatile cooking option to add to your outdoor kitchen, a few strategically place coals are all you need.

Dutch ovens, sometimes called camp ovens, are designed to be heated with hot coals, wood embers or heat beads that are arranged underneath and on top of the pot. Whether you’re braising, baking or roasting, use this handy guide to get your heating just right. Remember to keep an eye on your coals as you cook – a cast iron pot retains a lot of heat, but it still needs fresh coals to prevent cooling.
