 Folks have been cooking with dutch ovens on Palomar for decades.

Click for a dutch oven temperature chart. Really almost anything you do in an oven can be done in a dutch oven.

Per the chart, if you have a 12″ oven and something needs to bake at 350 degrees, you use 25 hot briquets (17 on the lid and 8 underneath). You may want to check things part way through and move briquets from top to bottom or vice versa if one part is getting more done than another and rotating the lid a quarter turn occasionally is a good idea.

Here are a couple of recipes. Read More…
