There is probably a thread here but haven't found it about cooking side dishes in a smoker from a recipe that calls for an oven.
Is there a rule of thumb or conversion table that would give me the time it would take to cook a side dish in a smoker @250F, for example, from a recipe that calls for 400F oven for 45 minutes?
I know it won't work for things that require hot temperatures to put the proper "crust" on some side dishes but for twice baked potatoes, BBQ beans, etc, I should be able to use the smoker instead of firing up the oven to heat the house this summer.
Of course I can experiment but thinking about the physics of it, there may be a conversion table that would give me approximate times so I can attempt to coordinate my smoked meat finish times with the side dish.
Thanks,
Bill
