I'm not sure i understand the directions entirely.....

But it sounds like I would need 2 cake racks and a pie pan that fit INSIDE my Dutch oven and yet I'm still supposed to have room for meat......

I'm interested to see your results!

[JCGrill]

It sounds like rack pan rack. First rack leaves room for chips. Pan catches drippings. Second rack gets meat up out of the drippings. Wondering if I can fit BBR's if I roll them up and stand on end.

I do smoke often in Dutch Ovens... couldn't make much kinda sense outta that article, but I'm Rye Cheer to talka bout DO Smokin, if ya would like to have such a conversation.

Lots of questions. What do you cook, how long can you cook? I assume that it's going to be light smoke given that replenishment is difficult. What's your set up? Probably a lot more.

Here's a slightly different take on Dutch oven smoking, This is a device available at https://www.campmaid.com/ that I use as a camping "smoker".

[JCGrill]

NO. WAY. That is really cool. Solves several little problems I've been thinking about. Have you run a probe in there to track temp? What have you tried cooking? Could you do a 6 hour cook if you were willing to replenish coals?

[cgrover60]

JCGrill, yes in fact I'm running one food probe in the picture above. I've only done short cooks, in this case chicken thighs. Probably not a good candidate for 6 hours because of the open air design.

Nevertheless, I'm convinced. Ordered one this evening.
