Bull Question to those who use Bull as oven....

[Dwight Smokem]

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?

Bull is great for brownies.

Second that one. Our daughter does them on a regular basis.

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.

I do the same thing, to reduce the heat load inside the house.

Biscuits are great on the 700.

Wife's chocolate chip cookie recipe in a cast iron skillet, baked on my RT-590. I think I used a lower temp to start to try to get a bit of a smoky flavor, but of course you wouldn't have to. Delicious big ol' cookie.

Is this a typical CC cookie recipe, or something unique?

Pizza tastes amazing.

Most foods taste great with a little smoke.

I absolutely agree.

This looks delicious. I am also curious about the recipe and how long and what temp you cook it for.

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.

Waiting...

Taste great right out of the bowl!

If you have a clean drip pan you will get minimal smoke at higher temps. But... If you were in a hurry after your last drippy mess of a cook and drop something on at high temp, you will get smoked in grease flavoring. Don't ask how I know this.

Grease flavor not high on my list...

The previous and first smoke (ribs) ended followed by the temp cranking to 400° for 15 min to "let the smoke out" and dry everything up. Cookie came out with no discernable smoke.

Pulled cookie at 35 minutes and it could have used about 10 more. Grandkids loved it! Thanks for sharing, mannydog!

I have been using the Bull as an oven for quite some time, from frozen pizza’s to flaky biscuits with no problems at all, except if I spilled something greasy on the drip tray.
