Does your pineapple upside down cake come out smoked and smelling of fish, or just baked, like a normal oven?

lightlysmoked Cannot just bake, but can cook it in a dutch oven with its lid on inside the GMG and not much smoke flavor that way. Choc chip cookies are fine smoked.

I've made pineapple upside down cakes in my Davey Crockett a bunch of times when I was living out of the trailer up on the L.A. job, and none of them had any kind of smoky flavor. The cake batter does not take on smoke very well at all.
At least the old ladies that I shared it all with during our bi-weekly rib dinners never complained...LOL

For those of you that use the pellets, my local Sam's club (Placentia) had a pellet blend of hickory, maple, oak & cherry, 40# bag, for under $15.

My saga is not yet closed, but don't want to bore you with the details.

I am happy with the results of the Traeger, though. After my porterhouse results I did a 13# standing rib roast on Saturday. Took a couple hours but turned out awesome.

I believe they call this the "Premium Blend."
Its fairly cheap and does a pretty good job.

Bob, God willing, one of these years, I'll have enough courage to make the drive down to Mako-ville, perhaps with Yani and/or Mahiger, and see first-hand how nice it is down there and try out your new grill.
I can just taste the smoked YT!!
