Has anyone baked bread in a BBQ?

Hi again. I meant the bbq oven lid that has the thermometer in it. It gets a grease build up from grilling with the lid closed. Hope it works for you. Buslady

I've cooked cornbread on the bbq. just put it in a pan, set on rack, close the bbq lid. works great.

We did it last night on the bonfire - on sticks no less. It was an experiment by our 17 year old son. We do a lot of bonfire dinners and he was looking for something new to eat. Came out great. He made a simple baking soda dough. It rose, browned and tasted like biscuits.

I have made bread in a dutch oven.
My oven has a lip around the flat lid to hold coals.
Usually, I just use a small loaf pan and just set it inside the oven.
I generally get about 20-25 or so charcoal pieces hot in a charcoal chimney, put maybe 8 or 9 under the oven and the rest on top.
The more coals you use, the hotter it'll bake of course, and outside air temperature has a lot to do with how many you use.
You just kind of have to experiment a little, but there is a ton of info on the internet.
I've made zucchini bread, regular bread, baked Cornish hens, pork loins, roasts, pork chops, chicken, all kinds of things in it.
If you can do it in a propane oven, you can do it in a dutch oven.
Mine's a Lodge #12 and I use it all summer long.

Here's a site with some good info

Great idea. I do expect that the hinge pivots would corrode/rust though.

One can nearly always find the smaller sized ones at garage sales. Too bad the large ones don't show up.

Thanks HJ for the great idea.

I can bake cake, biscuits, and pizza on a gas grill, so I don't know why you couldn't bake bread. We have a 4 burner grill, I lite the two on the outside and leave the 2 middle ones off. Put what ever you want to cook over the middle ones, and close the lid.

If you try to bake over a lit burner on a grill, you will burnt he bottom of what ever you are trying to bake.

They have chuckwagon cook-offs around here. They always make biscuits in the contests using dutch ovens. I've heard many also make sourdough bread in dutch ovens.
