The purpose for the lipped edge on the old dutch ovens was to pile embers on - with the rounded top the embers would all fall off. If you want to use it as a real old fashioned oven as it was intended, you need the lip.

I'm hungry. And ya'll keep talking about those dutch ovens. Peach cobbler is my favorite dessert and you can't make one any better than in one of those dutch ovens over a campfire. ~drooling~ Still an hour till my honey gets home dunno if I can make it!!!
