Cooking With a Dutch Oven
If steam is escaping, your Dutch oven is telling you that the temperature is too hot, so do not touch the lid with your bare hands, or you will be burned. Do lift the lid to check the food several times, but do not remove the lid often. Lifting the lid allows precious steam to escape, and it is the steam that makes the food so tender and delicious.

Dutch ovens get hot enough to be stacked while cooking. Stacking allows the heat from the bottom oven to radiate up to the top oven. The best way to stack Dutch ovens is to use ovens of the same size or with foods in them that require the same amount of heat. To keep the temperature even from top to bottom, place hot coals on the top lid.
There are basically three ways to cook with a Dutch oven while camping. You can hang the Dutch oven over the fire, you can set it on the fire or near it and push hot coals around it and on the lid, or you can actually bury the Dutch oven in the fire. While the first two steps are self-explanatory, the third requires a little instruction.
Dig a hole that is about 2 feet wide and about 20 inches deep. Line the hole with flat rocks that you find around the campsite. Secure the stones so they won't fall into the fire, and then make a fire in the center of the hole. Feed the fire until you have several inches of hot coals. When the flames go out, or, if you think the coals are ready, remove wood that is still burning. Remove some of the hot coals, and set aside. Place the Dutch oven-with dinner inside-into the hole, place the reserved coals on top, and then cover the whole thing with a few inches of dirt.
Lay a few large flat rocks over the dirt, and go about your business. When you return to camp later, dinner will be ready.
