Using this chart:
The top whole number on the same row as the Dutch oven size is the total number of charcoal briquettes needed to achieve the desired temperature. The numbers below the whole number represent how many briquettes you need on top of the lid then the number of briquettes under the Dutch oven. So, in the case of an 8-inch Dutch oven, to get a temperature of 350°F you need a total of 16 briquettes. Below the 16 you will notice the numbers 11/5. 11 is the number of briquettes for the top of the oven. 5 is the number of briquettes to go under the oven.
