DUTCH OVENS COME IN SIZES FROM 8” TO 16” DIAMETER. A GOOD FORMULA FOR NUMBER OF COALS (BRIQUETS).
PLACE 1/3 OF COALS UNDER THE DUTCH OVEN
PLACE 2/3 OF COALS ON THE LID
FOR MODERATE HEAT, THE DIAMETER OF THE DUTCH OVEN IS MULTIPLIED BY TWO (2) EQUAL THE NUMBER OF COALS TO USE, ie: 12” POT x 2 = 24 COALS. 1/3 OR 8 UNDER THE DUTCH OVEN AND 2/3 OR 16 COALS ON THE LID.
FOR HIGH HEAT: THE DIAMETER OF DUTCH OVEN MULTIPLIED BY THREE (3).
TO MAINTAIN HEAT OVER AN HOUR, IGNITE 10 TO 12 EXTRA COALS AND ADD 4 TO 5 COALS AFTER EACH 20 TO 30 MINUTES OF COOKING.
NOTE: IN REAL COLD WEATHER YOU WILL MORE COALS!
