Cook in Dutch Oven at 200 degrees for 3 1/2 to 4 hours. I use Kingsford Charcoal, it cooks great and stays hotter longer. I cover the top of the Dutch Oven with one layer of coals and under the Dutch Oven, I place one layer also... You will become familiar with the " heat " of the coals and will be able to keep the temperature where it needs to be... Enjoy!
