Beef Stew Direct?

SmokinSoCal · December 2010

I need all the room I can get today and want to use my medium to do a beed stew. Can I put my CI 7qt Lodge directly over the flame? Usually I do it on BGE Feet on the plate setter in my XL. Will I burn the soup if done this way?

stir it more often and dont use the same temps, bring temps to a slight simmer and cook. inderect its around 325 dome, direct it a little less in my large than 300, so watch the simmer and adjust from there. stir it more often but your good to go

As fishlessman said....
I've done direct, but with even a lower temp.
At 300 F. she was a bubbling real good. Take it to 250 F. if you can.

i dont do alot of directs with a dutch, watching the bubbles is key and adjust from there

Should be no problem at a lower heat, just constantly stir it all the time.

Thanks! What about making a foil barrier and the the little feet, then the pot?

its really not needed, just adjust temps fot the correct simmer, lots of dutch ovens have built in feeat to sit directly over the coals on an open style fire
