My wife's killer Lasagna with pepperoni and Italian sausage . I didn't want the bottom to burn so I used a charcoal pan out of an old MECO smoker thinking that would diffuse the direct heat on the bottom and it worked , only it worked to well lol .
This is a great set up for smoking , not for baking I discovered . I could only get to about 260 -280 with this pan over the coals , but I opted to let it bake a while at this temp anyway before I removed the pan ..
I shot up to close to 400 after removing the pan from the coals , the dish cooked great I added a chunk of applewood to finish and that gave the Lasagne a nice wood fired pizza flavor .
Stuffed Pork chops
Made a stuffing out of sourdough bread , Apple , walnuts , bacon and onion , added cheddar cheese as a binder with some chicken broth to moisten it all up .
Should have made more stuffing then I did , these chops were huge .
I used one chunk of pear wood and a bit of apple chips for quick smoke , I smoked these for about an hour at 250 or so and then finished them hot and fast .
