I am going to butter maybe a little rub and foil....any better suggestions and what temp I should aim for?

Wanted to do the twice baked recipe I have seen mentioned around the forum, but I am trying to watch the ol waistline.

    I just wash them and put them in the Egg, 350-400 indirect for an hour. If you like eating the skins, you can coat them with olive oil and kosher salt. -RP

    imho foil defeats the purpose of using the egg. rub with olive oil sprinkle with sea salt or kosher.
    they are done at 210°
    twice baked are fine. use skim, easy on the butter cheese bacon etc. put them on a plank or add smoke and a rub for more flavor.

    I have a couple on right now. A little oil and some Jamaican Firewalk. I am doing them with some stuffed Zuccinni that the stuffing was already cooked so I stuck aluminum cooking nails through the potatoes so they will cook faster.

    No foil but follow AZRP... and some good smokin wood. Cherry, Grape, Apple or even JD Old No. 7

    I think I will go put some on now along with corn.
