Cup Cakes

My oven went out this weekend and my preggo wife wanted cup cakes. Needless to say she gets whatever she wants, so I fired up the egg with the guru set to 350, went inside while I let her make 3 batches of cup cakes on the egg. She doesn't know jack about grilling, so it was nice to have to guru do all the grunt work for freaking cup cakes. BTW, they turned out great. They were foil wrapped, so no smoke was involved. [p]I'm thinking about doing a charcoal rumcake....

    Way to go Frank!
    If you want to get rid of the foil, you might give a shot at working a bit hotter with a smaller load of charcoal, and get a good clean fire burning. Very little smoke, and the smoke is extremely mild at those temps once every piece of charcoal is burning clean. It seems to help a lot when you get a 500 fire going first, then step it down to 400.[p]Just thinkin here. Take care of that preggo lady o' yours!

    <p />Frank the Tank,[p]Chris is right on - if you get a clean fire burning, you really won't have a smoke problem. This pumpkin bread had no smoke taste at all.[p]TRex

    Frank the Tank,[p]Sorry to hear that your oven went out, and I'm glad that the cupcakes turned out well. On the other hand, that's what indoor cooking is all about. I LOVE my egg, but baking on the egg is (under normal circumstances) stupid in my humble opinion. That's about like cooking a brisket in the oven![p]Now if you are camping and that is the only source for heat, again I'm all for it. But if you are baking on the egg just to say that you did it, I say big freakin' deal. Who cares? Again that's why I paid for double ovens in the kitchen.[p]Pizza is an exception, but get your oven fixed so you don't have to waste time and money trying to perfect something that the BGE was never intended to do.[p]Good luck with the forthcoming baby
