We do most of our baking on ours during summer months. No smoky flavor at the temps we use.It's just been getting so hot and humid here that I'd prefer to not turn the oven on until Thanksgiving if I didn't have to.

This morning I made some breakfast and smoked the sausage and gravy on my Bullseye. When I went to get the biscuits out of the oven, I wondered if they would taste "weird/off" if I had instead done them on the Bull. Oven instructions were 375 for 22 mins.
I know that the smoke level/flavor is greatly diminished at that high of heat but curious what others have with regard to using the Bull as an oven? Like could you even do chocolate chip cookies or other things that you may not want smoke flavor added?
Thank you to you and your wife, @Mannydog !Here's the chocolate chip cookie recipe my wife gave me. I don't think it's some family secret since she got it from the internet a while back (ha), but it sure is good. We added some more choc chips because, well, why not? It's great with ice cream, or would be perfect with icing for a kid's birthday.

Wow, execution on that one. Color is amazing.Thank you to you and your wife, @Mannydog !
Enjoying this with some homemade vanilla ice cream…
Thank you! That recipe is fantastic. I don’t see myself making individual chocolate chip cookies again anytime soon!Wow, execution on that one. Color is amazing.
Dean, I need that recipe. My sister has celiac and this would be quite a treat for her.Momma uses the Bull to bake her Homemade (Gluten free) Sourdough Bread
I feel it tastes better off the Smoker, than when She uses the Oven:

I hate to keep beating the same drum, but I look for things to bake on the 590 instead of in the house. If we can keep any amount of heat outside, then we are winning against the Louisiana summer! Also, it holds temperature better than our internal oven. Pizza, cornbread, baked pasta, cinnamon-sugar-tortillas, rolls, biscuits, etc. Next will be that cookie from up above, thank you for that!!
My buddy swears by Papa Murphy's pizza. Specifically the Mediterranean, I assume bc it doesn't have red sauce so probably crisps up better.I hate to keep beating the same drum, but I look for things to bake on the 590 instead of in the house.
