NOTES on cooking... there are several ways to do this with a Dutch Oven ...
Pile coals on the bottom and top and rotate every so often (camp dutch).
Or if you have a Dutch that is more like an old pot (not a camp dutch) you can just cook on your kettle, PBC, or whatever. I cooked this one on the kettle, using the SnS! Make sure you rotate once in awhile to keep cooking even
