I think the temperature should be 275 degrees for 3 hours, not 375. At 275, it will come out great!

My wife followed this recipe to the letter. In doing so it burned up her brand new cast iron 7 1/2 qt Lodge kettle, which was a 45th anniversary present. These things are very expensive. We are exceedingly unhappy. So to whoever tries this recipe be very careful.
