So I'm going to use a Dutch Oven with two 1/4" pipe thread holes in the lid, and a bolt in thermometer, for cooking my charcoal. The vent holes of course, will be plugged with 1/4" pipe plugs once outgassing is complete. Cooking will likely occur using a turkey fryer propane setup.
Two questions. One, I read somewhere, (can't find it again), that using such a setup and limiting the cooking temp to the optimal 600 degrees farenheit maximum, that cooking could take 8 hours! Could that be right??
Secondly, do you think clamps will be necessary/advisable to keep the Dutch Oven lid tightly shut?
Thanks,
