steve Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 I'm going to Door county (the peninsula north of Green Bay) for Rainier cherries this weekend. Has anybody tried to make a cherry pie on their cooker? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firemonkey Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 I havent done it personally, but I am sure you can find all sorts of recipes and descriptions over on the BGE list. I have done bread though...I would try it indirect, just as you would in your regular oven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted July 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 I'm thinking of experimenting with apple pies to get the feel. Lots cheaper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanny Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Apple pies are wunnerful! And a fruit wood smoke would be tasty, huh? Maybe use cherry wood, instead of cherry pie. For a tip, although at a regular baking temp it might not matter, turbinado sugar doesn't burn on the grill. Maybe consider that to sparkle your upper crust, instead of a sprinkle of table sugar.

I was thinking the opposite, a mild lump with no added smoke. Some stuff just doesnt 'take' smoke well. I tried using smoke on a batch of salsa and while it wasnt too bad warm, once chilled it took on what I can only describe as 'ashtray flavor' Maybe try a little smoke on some bread as a test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanny Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Well, FM, you're probably right. Ick - ashtray pie. Bleh!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Well I made an apple pie this morning and it turn out great! You could taste the smoke from the lump in the upper crust. I would have to agree that adding smoke chips to the cooker would make it too smoky. Next up..fresh rainier cherry pie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
