the advantage of the "charcoal models" are the 3 legs on the bottom
which normally gives you space for the charcoal briquets
but in the BigEasy gives you air space from the bottom in the infrared chamber
and with the flat lipped charcoal lids
it gives you a flat surface to stack the next DutchOven on top
make sure the bale handles are just wire with no spring handles
the spring handles will make a problem with space in the chamber

Thanks again for the additional tips.   ;)

I was looking at the "charcoal models" last time I was in BPS, all of mine are "stovetop models".  They carry Lodge at BPS and IIRC, most if not all of them in the store had bale handles without the wire.

without the spring
re-read my post, I modified it

"..but, if all you have are the non-charcoal models
you can use the rings from SpringForm pans as spacers between the DutchOvens"

My mistake I meant to say without the spring handles, I knew what you meant.  ;)

All my DO's are too big for the BEESR, my smallest is a Lodge 5qt, I just tried putting in in the BEESR and it don't fit.  Looks like another shopping spree at BPS coming soon.  ;D
