Keilbasa and sauerkraut in dutch oven, cooking temps and times?

Happy New Year eggheads!.. I decided to try out my new dutch oven my wife got me for xmas with some kielbasa and sauerkraut for the new year day.  My question is has anyone done this?  I am not sure what temps to use.  Right now it is sitting direct on my new AR rig without the lid on with dome temp at 250. We also have some on in the house in a crock pot with a pork roast and sauerkraut, and that should take about 4-5 hrs, so I am hoping mine wont be done to early!  Thoughts please!!  image

    Since the kielbasa is already cooked is say just let it ride around 300 until all the favors are happy. Keep an eye on the moisture. It will evaporate without the lid.
    I like my butt rubbed and my pork pulled.

    With the lid off the food will take on some smoke, if you put the lid on, you might as well cook it in the big white clock in the kitchen, IMHO. 
    Usual cook time in a skillet for our house is one or two hours at 250º-300º cooking indirect. Keep the temps low and as @500 says, don't let her run dry. Happy New Year!

    Thanks skiddymarker, that's what I was thinking about the lid. I drained the kraut and added a cup of brown sugar and a can of beer. .I don't really like kraut so I heard this is good so thought I would try it.
