The 'Ring Method' of Dutch Oven Heat Management

Показать описание
This is a foolproof way to maintain your dutch oven's heat. Best of all, no counting is required, and it works with the Metric system too!

We find that the most intimidating thing about Dutch Oven cooking is heat management.

People think that they have to be a rocket scientist to maintain good even heat. The good news, our favorite technique is also the simplest. We'll also walk you through the "Rule of 3's" and correlate it to this method. Using the "Ring Method", we can relieve the stress and lower the anxiety levels. After all, this is supposed to be fun right?

Although we don't claim this to be anything even close to scientific, we did throw some probe thermometers in the ovens to gauge how well the heat maintained once it was up to temp. I estimate that it held within 10 degrees for almost 20 minutes. That seems to match our experience.

Try it with hard wood coals or lump, if you line the perimeter of your oven, you'll have similar results.

You'll always get highs and lows, you do in you home oven too, but using this method, you'll be a pro in no time.

So the diameter of the dutch oven is determined by lid diameter, not base diameter?

temperature probe.... so what do you stick it through to keep it off the bottom? Do you often use a temperature probe, or just while experimenting.

If you need to cook for 90 min would you light more beads??

People get this anal about the exact math on the coals? Just keep it around the perimeter like you said and check the food on occasion/rotate the oven. Over analyzing.

So, I like your temperature test. But your own methodology is shot to hell. You just pilled up a variety of coals, for each pot. You didn't use any base line # of coals / pot size, to show any equality of heat. Were you are using a diameter method, as you first explained OR the method of 3rds? Or just pilling them on?
