Instructions
  1. Fire up a chimney full of hot charcoal. Make a solid circle of charcoal to fit underneath a 12-inch camp Dutch oven. Place oven over charcoal.
  2. Add oil to hot oven to get hot before adding adding onions and celery. Sauté onions and celery in a 12-inch camp Dutch oven until vegetables are soft. Add garlic and stir for one minute.
  3. Add ham bone and frozen field peas.
  4. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Keep the pot simmering by replacing old charcoal with fresh hot coals as needed. The water will reduce as the peas soften. Because each hame bone or ham hock has a different amount of salt, taste before adding more salt and ground black pepper.
