Dinner in a Dutch Oven


My parents are having their house painted this week, and today was the kitchen's turn, which meant we had to find another way to cook dinner. So my dad, savvy outdoorsman that he is, decided to cook a chicken (along with potatoes and carrots) in a dutch oven. He placed the coals in a ratio of 2 to 1, with double the amount of coals on top as on bottom since heat rises. Then he had to make clockwise and counterclockwise turns of the pot and lid so that it would cook evenly. I was pretty impressed. Haven't tasted it yet, but it smells delicious!
