Baked a cake on the Weber yesterday

...and it came out very well with no smoke taste what so ever.

I've never tried baking anything like that on the grill. Have done dinner rolls and pizza, but never a cake...will have to try it.

DOH I forgot to post pictures..

Excellent pics Doc!

Thaks man can you tell the Weber is a little off balance.

And there we were thinking you were on the level!!!

Nice looking cake, I think I will show my daughter that and get her do me a mix for the next one. Where did you get the Fluff from?

I suggest you guys grab a box of corn bread mix with your first order. It's a childhood favorite and just has to be on a plate with great Q or a bowl of chilie.

Oh Baby...NOW we're talkin'!! I am cornbread crazy! In fact, for my birthday each year, my bride makes cornbread for me instead of cake. When I was a kid, I called it yellow cake.

I'm making up about 3 gallons of Texas Red Chili today...may have to do up some cornbread too! BTW...Not that I'm trying to stereotype myself, but I carry a container of Grits in my BBQ Bus to have at competitions!

Nothing wrong with keeping Grits on hand. My kids love and every Sunday is daddys time to make Grits ,bacon, scrambled eggs and toast.

Gotts love how grits stick to your ribs and hold you for hours. You mention yellow cake as a childhood favorite and it was one of mine but the all time prize winner with me was Hot water cornbread baby!! I would wonder through the kitchen and steal as much as I can when the women were cooking on the holidays ( he!! I still steal it when I'm back home). lol Tonght I may do hot water cornbread IF I can find cornmeal around here.

Never heard of hot water cornbread...what's that all about??

Hot water cornbread? You haven't lived until you have hot water cornbread! My family made it all the time and it goes well with pinto beans or any other southern dish! I tell you, that and greens will make you slap your momma!

The best I've had was when a friend of mines made it. He cooked pinto beans with ham hock and chitterlings as a side. I almost burst my stomach eating so much. I'd do it again too.

Grits? I made some yesterday. I don't like the 1-minute variety. You have to get the original, long cooking variety (IMO) for the best taste. No one makes it like the good ole days, but it still tastes good. I found a site that sells the southern variety, but being overseas makes me stick to what's available. The price isn't bad though.

Doc,

How about showing everyone what hot water cornbread is all about?

Ooooooooooooohh!! now I would have thought you knew the deal with hot water cornbread!!!

Right as soon as I find some cornmeal I'm all over it!

Hot water corn bread is sorta like hush puppies but thicker and heavier is the best way I can sum it up. The best part is seeing the finger marks in the bread!!

Eating them hot almost right out of the skillet is dangerous to say the least but the smell of them cooking just makes you do silly things. Grab em hot and drop some of that warm butter on them from the stick momma was going to use for pie is the best.

Man the butter running down your burning fingers with your mouth open trying to cool the burn as you run like Carl Lewis through the angry Gran-momma-auntie-big momma gauntlet in the kitchen yelling and "DAMMIT BOY" and swinging dish rags and wooden spoons at your head to safety in the back yard just makes the day that much more special.

Hot dam I miss those days
