I had a hard time finding some sample code for this because most OneWire examples assume addressable devices, but the DS1821 is non-addressable, I realize most people aren't using these devices, but I thought I'd share the code out for anybody else looking.

Code:

#include <OneWire.h>
#include <Wire.h>

OneWire  ds(10);  // on pin 10

void setup(void) {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  ds.reset();

}

unsigned int readBytes(int count)
{
    unsigned int val = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
    {
        val |= (unsigned int)(ds.read() << i * 8);
    }
    return val;
}

void loop(void) {
  byte temp_read = 0;
  unsigned int count_remain = 0;
  unsigned int count_per_c = 0;
  byte configuration_register = 0;

  ds.reset();
  ds.write(0xEE); //Start Converting the temperatures 
 
   do {
        delay(1);
        configuration_register = 0;
        ds.reset();
        ds.write(0xAC);

        // Read the configuration Register from the DS1821
        configuration_register = readBytes(1);
    } while ((configuration_register & (1 << 7)) == 0); // If Bit #8 is 1 then we are finished converting the temp

 
    // Get Temp
    ds.reset();
    ds.write(0xAA);
    temp_read = readBytes(1); ;

    // Get Count Remaining
    ds.reset();
    ds.write(0xA0);
    count_remain = readBytes(2);

    // Load The Counter to populate the slope accumulator
    ds.reset();
    ds.write(0x41);

    // Read Count Per Deg
    ds.reset();
    ds.write(0xA0);
    count_per_c = readBytes(2);

    // If we are reading above the 200 mark then we are below 0 and need to compensate the calculation
    if (temp_read >= 200) temp_read -= 256;

    float highResTemp = (float)temp_read - .5 + (((float)count_per_c - (float)count_remain) / (float)count_per_c);

    highResTemp = (float)((1.80 * highResTemp) + 32.00);
    Serial.print(highResTemp);
    Serial.println(" Fahrenheit");

   delay(1000);
}
