We love to use our Dutch Oven to cook on a campout. We can make everything from main dishes to desserts, but we would always forget the formula for how many coals to use. There’s nothing worse than over-cooking a meal when you’re in the middle of nowhere, so we created a simple app. Select the oven size and desired temperature, and select whether you’re baking or frying. The app provides the number of coals to put on the top and bottom.
