3. Brown the roast, onions. Add Garlic; cook 1 minute.
4. Add chicken stock or mushroom soup slowly into Dutch Oven. Cover and put on the the hot coals for two and a half hours.
5. Cover and reduce briquettes to 12 beneath the oven and the rest on top of the lid.
6. At the end of two and a half hours, add carrots, potatoes or vegetables of choice. Season to taste. Cover and continue baking 30- 45 more minutes.
7. Every campfire is different. Check for doneness.
8. Serve with good crusty bread and butter. Simple!
