    Dutch Oven in a kamado

    I am curious if anyone has any tips for Dutch oven cooking in a kamado. I found one video on Youtube, but it was overly general. It did (obviously) get my attention though. Interestingly, the cook used the Dutch oven without the lid. I assume he did this for the smoke, and because the kamado...

I live in Western North Carolina. It is safe to say we have four distinct seasons here. Right now it is freezing...
