The general rule of thumb to produce about a 350° heat is to take the size of the Dutch oven in inches, double the number, and use that many total briquettes. So, for a 12” oven you would use 24 briquettes, for a 14” oven you would use 28 briquettes, etc.. Remember this is just a rule of thumb and does not work for all makes of ovens!
