LeadDog Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 Here is what I was going to do for my first cook but even for a 2nd cook it isn't bad. This is Persimmon Bread and it disappears around here about as fast as you can pull it out of the oven or cooker in this case. For recipes I just Googled Persimmon Bread Recipes. Then just start trying different things in your batches. One of these times I'm going to put some orange peel into the recipe. I cooked this one a little bit hotter than I had planned. I got the cooker up to 325 just like last night and thought with the lower draft door pushed in it wouldn't go any higher. I came back to put the bread pan in and the cooker was at 400 so I started closing vents down top and bottom. The cooker dropped to 375° and stayed there for the whole hour of the cook. The top was just cracked open so I could feel the heat and the bottom was at about a 1/4 open. I could smell the chicken from last night as I was cooking the bread. The bread ended up without any smoke or chicken flavor aroma to it at all. I think that our electric bill will go down some now since for me charcoal is so cheap.
