Sweet potatos & yams

Birdman

I'm cooking a Turkey on my BGE for Thanksgiving. Anyone have a recipe for doing sweet potatos or yams on the EGG? BTW, just what is the difference between a sweet potato and a yam?

Birdman,
Lots of folks think yams and sweet potatoes are the same but having grown up farming and eat'n sweet potatoes I can tell you for sure they are different. But don't take my word for it.

Birdman:[p]Brush them with olive oil and let them bake directly on the grill at 325º or so for an hour or two depending upon size.

djm5x9, Thanks. Are you saying not to wrap them in foil?

Birdman:[p]Correct. Keep them out of the hot spot (close to the side) if you use higher temperatures. If you are at 300º or so a cluster of potatoes is OK in the center of the grill. Just keep an eye on them and turn at least once. I did several last night for The Princess and boys and she commented how much better they were on the ceramic cooker.

<p />Birdman, I personally prefer mine wrapped in foil with a little butter - time depends on what you are making and the temp. At 200-250, 3-3.5 hours. Check out the link - select search - enter 'sweet'[p]Best way to make any BBQ is the way that you like it the best! :~}
