Dutch Oven Tip

How do I keep things like cakes or breads from being burned on the bottom?

Three things to check:

Proper layout of charcoal
(see ABOUT CHARCOAL above)

Make sure you have the right amount of briquettes
(see ABOUT CHARCOAL above)

Put breads or cakes in a pan on top of a metal trivet or another inverted pan.  This raises the food an inch or so above the floor of the oven, and reduces the likelihood of burning.



October 2003 Dutch Oven Recipe

Orange BBQ Pork Ribs
(Use 12 “ seasoned Dutch Oven w/ legs)

Recipe Feeds 6 to 8

  

Shopping list:
 

5-6 pounds of pork spare ribs
(1) 2-liter bottle of Coca-Cola
3 sweet yellow onions – thick sliced
1 bottle favorite BBQ sauce
1 can concentrate orange juice

How To:

Before you go to camp -

Place ribs in large container, and pour the Coca Cola over them.  Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at least 12 hours – 24 hours is even better.

Drain liquid, and put ribs in Ziploc bags for transporting to camp.  Keep cool.

When ready to cook -

Light briquettes, and wait until they begin to turn “white”.

At the same time, grease Dutch oven or line with heavy aluminum foil (sprayed with PAM).

Layer ribs until surface is covered in Dutch oven.  Sprinkle salt, pepper and garlic over ribs, and then add a layer of onions …, and repeat this until all ribs are used.

Pour orange juice concentrate (optional) over last layer of ribs, followed by entire bottle of BBQ sauce.

Bake in covered Dutch oven at 225
F for about at least 2 hours or until done and tender.  Put 14 briquettes on the lid, and 18 under oven.  Add briquettes as needed.

Let cool for 15 minutes, then serve.
