To simmer or stew: Spread about 16 coals underneath the pot and 8 coals on the lid (⅔ bottom and ⅓ top). Allow the coals to burn for 1 to 1½ hours before replenishing.

To roast: Make a cooking ring with about 12 coals underneath the pot and 12 coals on the lid (½ bottom and ½ top). Replenish the coals after 30 to 45 minutes or as needed.

To bake: Make a cooking ring with about 8 coals underneath the pot and 16 coals on the lid (⅓ bottom and ⅔top). Replenish the coals after 30 to 45 minutes or as needed.
