I have been envious of the Europeans who were able to buy the first generation GBS Dutch Oven. It had a simple handle in the middle of the lid that could be removed and held with one hand. That design makes it handy to check on and stir the food. The lid on the new Dutch Oven Duo takes two hands to remove. A bad design choice considering Weber offers a range of other planchas and griddles and another one was not needed.
As a Dutch Oven, it works as expected. It would be five stars with a better lid.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I grill every chance I get -I have used this for months and have made everything from gumbo, chili, Shepard's pie, spaghetti sauce, to baked goods. This is a perfect pan for anyone who grills.
The Dutch oven duo is a great pot for the grill. I cooked a pot of hickory smoked pork chili that turned out delicious. I have used the lid a couple of times to grill Johnny Rockets style griddle cooked burgers. The surfaces of the pot and griddle lid are porcelain and clean up easily. Just don't use abrasives or sharp metal tools on the surface. Both are cast iron and cook very evenly but they are heavy,
It's a hefty piece of equipment! We've used the lid as a griddle, but are waiting for cooler fall temps before we use the kettle. Fun to play with, that's for sure!
