Pot roast in DO indirect or direct?
Comments

I do plate setter legs up, grid and DO on grid. Mark

Thanks

either way works, for indirect you need a space between the stone and pot. the important thing is to keep a low simmer, adjust for that. my indirects seem to simmer around 320 nicely, with a direct setup that temp will be lower. wear gloves, you can get a nasty steam burn opening a lid with all that liquid simmering awayfukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it

Ron, You can do it either way. I have had great success using my spider for DO cooks as well. You can put the DO directly on the coals to sear your meat, though you will need a welders glove or very long tongs. As long as the DO is a few inches off the coals for the balance of the cook, you will be fine, even direct. Just watch your liquids.
Good luck! -
Thanks Guys and Gals.
Yall are great! -

All good advice above.
I use the spider normal position for searing then flip the spider ring to inverted for the roast.
There isn't going to be any favor difference using a plate setter (indirect) or spider direct. The Cast Iron is what shields the cook.
Putting the DO right on the lump is fine just make sure you don't burn the food. I am not sure about keeping the liquid at a simmer when down on the lump. It is easy enough to test.
I leave the DO off of the DO during the entire cook, however, I have been wondering about putting the lid on about half way through the simmer.
One thing, watch the liquid level and add the stock if the level gets low.
Here is the link to the original post.

The recipe is also in the recipe section, but the formatting over there isn't all that great.

The DO I have has legs and I don't know if that makes a difference or not.
I used platesetter legs uo with DO setting on that. It came out wonderful and is almost gone now. Will post pics Friday in new thread. Thanks again to all

Glad you liked it. That is the problem, the food goes quick. It makes great second day sandwiches or even french dip sandwich.
The only difference the camp fire DO's (with legs) have is they are a pain to put on the egg grid.
