It is totally "idiot proof". I really wish it was talked about more in the dutch oven world. It takes away a lot of the intimidation factor for new dutch oven cooks. But one of the things I like best is that it easily addresses the issue of heat reduction from burned out briquettes.

It first appeared in print in "A Texas Treasury of Dutch-oven Cooking" produced by the Lone Star Dutch-oven Society and available through Lodge manufacturing. The debate in Texas has finally been settled between the checkerboard method and the Dinwiddie method. After exhaustive testing at numerous Dutch-oven gatherings it was determined that the Dinwiddie method is less likely to cause hot spots and therefore less likely to burn your food then the checkerboard methodTinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02957417957366997913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739987159867504825.post-33129440983047488202011-03-03T07:05:46.497-07:002011-03-03T07:05:46.497-07:00Fantastic info - I hadn't ever heard of this m...Fantastic info - I hadn't ever heard of this method either... and I can never remember charts and stuff so this should be much easier to work with.

I just wanted to give you a quick tip on typing the "degree" symbol instead of the asterisk. Hold down the Alt key and use a numeric keypad to type 0176.Then let off the Alt key and the degree symbol should appear.
