http://www.bbqfood4u.com/the-volcano-potato.htmlHad major assistance from my neighbor. You could do it yourself but it's more fun to cook with someone else, especially if they help rein in some of your wacky ideas mid-cook. Ooh, shiny! I get distracted sometimes. Like now.
So I built a 1-chimney indirect heat source utilizing a standard Weber kettle cooking apparatus, available in fine shops and at the occasional curbside near you.
A small bag of baking potatoes was procured. The potatoes themselves were also small-medium; not like the large ones in the video.
Foiled them and placed what would fit down in the basement onto the coals. Two smaller ones rode up top. Turned a few times, added the center section of my Gourmet grate and then added sweet and jalapeņo peppers to roast and a few random carrots, sliced lengthwise.
Pictured next is the basic assortment of the stuffing, after it was used. Small pieces of deli turkey, cheese (2 kinds were shredded) the mixture of now cut-up peppers and carrots, "volcano sauce" (sour cream + hot sauce, possibly the 8th Wonder of the World) and off in the distance some chives.
All prepped. Doesn't look like a lot, but this (and some baked beans and streamed broccoli that arrived late by some meal participants) fed 6 adults and 4 little kids, with one potato left over. The stuffing added something like 80 pounds to the potatoes. (That figure is approximate.) AND the 'fridge has a nice bowl of "mashed potatoes" that
used to be the insides of the 12 potatoes. Still with me here?
After the potatoes finished cooking, leftover bacon was cooked up, because ...
bacon. And it looks like so:
Griddle grease was saved for future use. And the griddle was brought inside to warm up leftover pulled pork, because ...
pulled pork. Did I mention 3 of the potatoes employed pulled pork, not the turkey? (We also engaged a combination of turkey bacon/pork bacon wraps for various attendees.)
From grill:
Hold on a sec, let's take a closer look!
And with volcano sauce/chives:
