Question 1

Is it heavy or snug enough to stay in place in light to moderate winds? Or is there a way to secure it in place?

Accepted Answer

I bought the cover specifically to use in rainy and windy conditions.  It works great.  Stays in place and keeps charcoal dry.  Because in use mine just to cover a Dutch oven set on a metal  base, I installed brass grommets in the sits to allow air to feed the charcoal.  Otherwise, charcoal will go out.

Question 2

Can you use this on a 12 inch dutch oven?  over a camp chef double burner unit?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this works the same over any propane stove.  With a camp chef you will also need a flame tamer to distribute the heat and not burn the middle of the dutch oven.  However we recommend the Volcano as Charcoal is always better when cooking with a dutch oven.

Question 3

What does it mean “not intended for open food”? It didn't show that in the pictures & descriptions , or youtube

Accepted Answer

The cover can flake part of the foil into open food. Use with covered foods only. Do not use with an uncovered skillet.

Question 4

What does it mean “not intended for open food”?

Accepted Answer

not real sure but I have only used mine on a gas campchef stove, where I put it over a dutch oven with a "lid"  this cover "creates an oven" for when you don't want to use briquettes... I think you need to use the lid on your pot so it doesn't bubble and spatter onto this cover and cause a grease fire...  or maybe as it starts wearing out, the interior of cover might 'flake' into your food.  You cant use this to cover food that is not in some kind of baking container... works great for making dutch oven monkey bread on gas stoves, very low flame.
