One way we use ours is to prepare the meat, potatoes, carrots, onions and whatever else you want at home. Keep it all in the refrig until we are ready to cook it, within a day or so.
We build a good fire with wood, sometimes charcoal too, put all the goodies in the dutch oven.
We just make a hole in the wood/coals and put the oven in the hole and pile the hot coals around the pot,and put coals on top of the lid, add some fresh coals to the top too.
Let it cook all day, or half a day depending on size of meat used. Excellent
