Place charcoal briquet's on top and around the outside of the rim on the ground. Ditch the lid. Works like a big dutch oven. When charcoal is about gone its done. no peeking. And yes i super heat it to burn off any galvanizing before first use. The upside is it leaves the oven free for home made pie and bread. My family asks for it to be cooked this way every year. Deep fried is a close second.

We do that with the Scouts when we go Camping (without the Brine though).........Good Stuff
