Dutch Oven Recipies

[BigJesse]

About the Irish Delight... what size corned beef hash can?

I use the Mary Kitchen. It comes in 15oz cans.

Perfect. That's exactly what I got. I'll be trying it out tonight.
Last question. When you preheat the oven do you put coals on the top or do you not add them till you've started cooking?

Preheat with the 24 coals to fry and wilt the cabbage. When you bake just add the 14 coals to the lid the bottom should have cooled of enough to be the equivalent of 10 coals. Make sense?

During the terrible War of Northern Aggression, General William T. Sherman made his evil assault upon the civilian population of the Confederate States of America. He left a scorched path through the heart of Dixie all the way to the sea but of all the homes, property and crops that he burned he missed the Black eyed peas and the South was saved from total starvation by this humble legume. So I eat them to nourish my body and my soul and to everlastingly tell W.T.Sherman to kiss my Rebel Ass.
