New member, great forum! Every year I use my 24" Camp Chef Smoke Vault to smoke our Thanksgiving turkey. I've had great success using Meathead's turkey recipe but the accolades stop there. To free up our oven, I attempted to bake Thanksgiving casserole dishes in my Smoke Vault (350 degrees) but for the last two years, by the time the top of the casserole is done, the bottom is burned. (Oven temperature is not a factor as I use a Maverick wireless thermometer.)
Questions: Do I leave the cast iron wood chip plate in or out? I just read online that I should be baking on the top rack (I was not, but it was on an upper shelf). If that is the case, am I limited to just top shelf baking, or can I cook two casseroles on two shelves? I know you can bake very well in a Smoke Vault, apparently I just don't know how. I am attempting a trial run this weekend to restore my spousal acceptance factor so any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!
