biscuits in a q1200?

Okay, so here's what I've come up with for now. I bought a 10" cast iron frying pan with a lid, then I bought a cast iron trivet.

To try it out, I put the pan on the stovetop, wrapped the trivet in aluminum foil and put into the frying pan. Then I put the the biscuits (made with bisquick for this experiment) on the trivet and put the lid on. I adjusted the heat to about medium-high and the biscuits came out pretty good.

One thing I found out though, you need to grease the foil to make sure the biscuits don't stick, something you don't normally do if making the biscuits in the oven.

I would have put up a photo, but I ate the biscuits before I thought about it!

With no open or charcoal fires allowed, I use my Coleman 2 burner gas stove with a rectangular griddle than fits over both burners and a large frying pan top to cover the biscuits, pizza, or other breads that I cook on it. Heat is easier to control than using charcoal or an open flame fire. When open fires are allowed I prefer to cook meat over them using oaks blocks.

We use an electric roaster oven to cook biscuits or anything else in.

Love it!

Super Dave, are those standard unsealed quarry tiles? Love your hacks and think I'll give some of them a try in my charcoal Weber Go Anywhere:c.

I cook on my boat quite a bit and biscuits or cinnamon rolls are a favorite breakfast item while I'm fishing. This is the set up that I use.

Weber gas grill with some ceramic briquettes for heat deflection:




Some standard floor tile of the grate:

The trick with backing in a covered grill is to not let the flame directly contact the bottom of the baking pan. A cast iron griddle is a good heat deflector. Put extra think washers or nuts on top of it and then place you backing pan on that. You will have hot spots on the bottom of the backing pan, so if you can find some type of ceramic spacers, it would be better.

Thanks guys! I didn't know that pizza stones could break under direct heat, good to know! As for using the dutch oven on the stovetop...I'd prefer to use it over an open fire, which we do when allowed!

Can't you put a Dutch Oven on top of a propane stove? You can adjust the heat that way & i bet it'll work great!

I see no reason that it would not work,I have the Weber Q220 and have made Cinnamon Rolls many times with mine I think biscuits would be no different.
