I love cooking on the driveway with my Dutch oven ! It does not heat up the house, can be used camping or tailgating.
I use a #12 "Lodge" Dutch Oven.
With a dutch oven you can cook anything ! you can use it like a skillet, just cook on the inverted lid, you can sautee or deep fry things in the pot without the lid, you can bake and roast in the dutch oven with the lid on.
Dutch Oven baked chicken and vegetables.
1 bag of carrots
1 large onion
4-5 cloves garlic crushed
6 small potatoes
1 baking hen 5lb. average.
salt and pepper
1 can cream of mushroom soup.
Get 25 -30 charcoal brickettes started. use GOOD charcoal,(Kingsford) not quick start types like "Match lite"
Peel carrots and make a layer across bottom of dutch oven
quarter onion and put on top of carrots.
crush garlic cloves and put on onion and carrot layer.
rub chicken inside and out with salt and pepper.
put chicken on top of carrots, onion and garlic.
fill in spaces with small potatoes.
top everything with can of cream of mushroom soup.
Put 6-8 brickettes of charcoal on driveway, Place #12 dutch oven with all ingredients on top of small circle of charcoal brikettes, place 22-25 charcoal brickettes on top of dutch oven. This should give you about 350-375 degrees, bake 1-1-1/2 hrs. turn lid 1/4 turn every 20 minutes.
Caution !! this may leave a mark on concrete driveways !
you may put down a layer of cap blocks to cook on.
