Dutch Oven Charcoal Calculator

A simple, free, easy to use Dutch Oven Calculator.

The calculations in this application are based closely (but not exactly) on the values published by Lodge Logic®.

NOTE - If you are not using Lodge® cookware, you may need to make adjustments for your particular oven brand.

Cooking style can be changed to bake, roast, stew or fry.

The application has a visual indicator of Slow, Moderate, Hot, or Very Hot rankings for the selected temperatures. This is due to the fact that some cookbooks do not specify a temperature. Those rankings roughly translate into the following temperatures:

Slow - 250 to 350

Moderate - 350 to 400

Hot - 400 to 450

Very Hot - 450 to 500
