Converting Crock Pot Recipe to Egg

my cast iron has legs so i go inderect, either direct or inderect works fine. start with a 300 degree fire until it comes up to a simmer, now either add a liitle heat or drop the heat to get it to a slow simmer, my setup is about 325 degrees for a light simmer. other than that the rescipe you have will work. you will probably need to add liquid during the cook, i would flip the roast about 2.5 hours in and continue cooking til it gets to the point that its falling apart.

We havn't yet used our DO's yet on the BGE. But use these all the time on the open fire. One's w/ legs usually have the flat lid for placing coals on top. But the one's w/o work great as well and would sit better on the grill grate.

May I butt in? I know the leg vs legless issue pops up here time to time, but I own both styles. I use the legged one when resting on the plate setter with the legs turned up. I believe the air flow makes a better uniform cook rather than the bottom being so hot from direct contact. I use the legless one when sitting directly on the grate. The legs also are not handy if using in your oven, but I get around that problem using a shallow round cake pan. If I could only have one I'd buy the camp style with the legs.

salt and flour a chuck eye roast, that one was about 7 or 8 pounds, sear it in a pan and deglaze the pan and add to the dutch oven (you can do this in the dutch but i usually do it on a big burner outside in a monster skillet. layer onions on the bottom, add roast, lowsodium chicken broth, white wine, water, beer (i think this had a blue moon pumpkin ale in it), add some steak seasoning like dp cowlick. simmer a couple hours then flip, dont flip again as you want to baste it and let the top get crunchy. cook til it passes the fork test and add root veggies, potato, turnip, carrot, parsnip and cook till veggies are done. this one was just potatoe with the onion on the bottom which is fine for me. potroast is always good, i just add things handy and try to get a good crunch on top, i see some cover with liquid, but its supposed to be a roast, only half way up with liquid max

This may not be a poopluar thing around here, but IMO there is no shame in a Crock Pot. They are awesome cooking tools and deserve a spot in anyones arsenal, even eggheads. They may even have a thing or two in common. I will be using mine various dishes this fall, including pot roasts.
