Here's a cherry/huckleberry cobbler I made today using charcoal on the "stove top" you can see how even the crust is, working with hot coals is very simple & its about 15 minutes faster to get the same results using the kitchen oven.
I no more than got the lid off & callshot (cantshoot) came over the fence.......well actually he drove over, I gave him a big helping with ice cream & he fixed HIS second helping, it was quite a bit bigger than the first! :lol:
Here's the dutch oven, working its magic! Thats the charcoal container on the far right, its very hot!
You can see how uniform the charcoal baked the cobbler, my wife likes them a little crunchy on the crust.......it didn't last long.
Here's a little dish of heaven! Remember with charcoal to rotate the oven one way, the lid the other every 10 minutes or so, bakes very even.
A little secret, when you have 10-12 briquettes under & 16-18 on top, slowly wave your hand over the coals, if it feels a little uncomfortable its probably 400 degrees, maybe hotter, if you can hole your hand over the heat you are somewhat cooler, after you've done this quite a bit you get a very good feel for the actual temp. without using a thermometer.
