Dutch oven.

Dude!! That is AWESOME!!!  :o

my goal is for it to last more than my lifetime, so if that happens, i’ll finish ahead i figure.

With that much cholesterol, you should be careful what you wish for!  ;D

Man I love cooking in cast iron! Thats pretty much all I use at home anymore…  as for the clarification on how much charcoal to use… This is a great chart, but again its only a guide.

Pork shoulder in a Dutch oven inside a Big Green Egg? Makes total sense. That Shredded Pork looks just right. +10

that’s actually two chuck roasts.  pulled beef!

i cooked it to 160 outside the dutch oven and then again uncovered after it reached 215 internal.

i save that kind of stuff for weekends.  during the week, i eat a lot of vegetables and lower cholesterol food.  i could probably stand to lose ten pounds, but knocks on wood my cholesterol has always been good.  thank goodness.

I don’t have any recipes, but I’ve had friends make some killer cobblers in a dutch oven while camping.  Always a crowd fave.

You can bake bread, biscuits, cornbread, etc in a dutch oven pretty quick.  Hell, Pizza.

You can flip the lid over, too, and use it as a griddle to fry eggs and pancakes (you have buttermilk and blueberries, right?).
