Nice app. Please add 10 inch deep
GreasyGrits

Handy little app, use it to check my coal counts and placement. I hope they add the 10 inch deep size soon.


Thank you!

needed to get my coal count accurate and your app helped a lot! most information only went to 350 degrees F so higher temp baking wasn’t an option. I will be letting my DO cooking group know about this app!


Excellent advice

I don’t know if you can improve on such a great app, unless there is a way to take into account the outdoor temperature and wind chill. I don’t have empirical evidence to prove this but I believe it impacts temperature and cook time.


Great Guide for Dutch Oven Cooking

My husband and I have used this app for years. It is very handy to help you how many briquettes you need in order to get the right cooking temps. I especially recommend it to beginners.


So great

This is a wonderful app


Great idea, poor execution
Kckirwan

Can never see the number of coals. Horrible app


Great place to start

Really simple great app to know about where to start with where to place and how many briquettes to use. Especially for beginners and people new to dutch oven camp cooking, the only caveat is that depending upon altitude, wind, humidity, you might adjust a briquette up or down, but thats what experience is for and experience is fun in the camp kitchen


Dark mode

The answers disappear in dark mode. Can only see the numbers in daylight mode


Great for newbie

I have had the “formula” in my head for years. But this app is great for getting new guys started. Friends watched me cook and wanted to join in I hardly have to cook anymore


Won’t work!

Keeps locking up. I’m unable to use it.
