Afore now, to get that smoked flavor in barbecue beef cooked in your Dutch oven, you had to get it out of a bottle or such.
Well, no more! Here’s your Ultimate Dutch Oven Rusty!

“Paddy, what’s so special about this” you ask?
Well,
The lid doubles as a cast iron skillet
There is an upper rack for baking
There is a lower rack for roasts and veggies; and
There is the magic center cone.
Not only does the center cone provide convection like cooking, but it also turns your DO into a real wood smoker. Now I got your attention!
Adding wood chips to your coals under your oven will produce smoke. The smoke will enter your Ultimate Dutch Oven through the holes in the cones. This smoke will follow the heat flow inside your oven giving your food a nice smokey flavor
To get you started, here’s a recipe for smoked bar-b-q beef in your Ultimate Dutch Oven.
1 large beef roast (4 to 8 lbs)
1 bottle bullseye BBQ sauce (any flavor)
1 ½ cups water
2 cups wood chips (hickory)
non-stick vegetable spray
Remove top rack from your Ultimate Dutch Oven and spray your Ultimate Dutch Oven with
non-stick vegetable spray.
Lay your roast beef down around the cone on the bottom rack, Cut roast into 4 pieces.
Pour your water into your Ultimate Dutch Oven.
Cook over 27 briquets or so for 350 degrees. Place 2/3 of the briquets on top of your Ultimate Dutch Oven and 1/3 underneath (ie: 18 briquets on top and 9 briquets underneath). Don’t let this math be a hindrance to you. TB helped me figure it out.
Cook for about 20 min. Take off heat and add your Bar B. Q. Sauce.
Sprinkle about 8 pieces of hickory flavored wood chips on the coals that are under your Ultimate Dutch Oven. Check the chips and add more as needed.
Cook for about 2 hours. Hint: DO NOT LET DUTCH OVEN GO DRY OF WATER
Bon a’tite!
