Backyard Dutch Oven Cooking

So…  Just how can these two items be combined for DO cooking?  Besides a storage compartment for your briquettes, chimney, and other accessories.

I made a wonderful discovery today that is going to make using my DO here at the house a lot more convenient.  If you don’t have a DO table, or a stand, this will work well in either of their places.

I discovered that the lid of a 33 gallon aluminum garbage can fits well in place of the cooking grate on a 22.5″ Weber kettle grill.  Now, even though I started off using the lid in place of the grate, since it wasn’t a 100% perfect fit, I opted to instead leave the cooking grate in place and place 6 small 2″x4″ blocks around the perimeter of the cooking grate and then place the garbage lid on top of it.

With that, I can then just flip over the garbage can and use it to keep my coals going for replacements as cooking goes on.

Of course… I could have just used my new backyard fire pit.  :-)
