Entire Meal meat/vegtables/desert smoked in Lil House out back

[raygunter]

I finally got the natural gas line run to the Lil House.  Got the burner converted to NG but it just didn't have the capacity I was hoping for (250 to 300 max).  So I converted a Turkey Frier and used it.  Now it has plenty of capacity.

My goal on this cook was to prepare the "entire" meal and cook it all in the Lil House at the same time and temperature.

Menu,  Chicken, Corn on cob, Green beans, Cabbage, Onions

and for desert some fruit.

Chicken brined then put into a net sack for hanging.

Corn on Cob de-silked butter/salt/pepper then covered and tied.

Green beens (fresh) little chopped onion and some garilc infused oil.

Cabbage, core out a pocket fill with brown sugar and butter. Put in net sack for hanging.

Onion, half, cut a small pocket, put in some brown sugar and butter.

Desert, how about some fresh Pineapple, Pears, and Apple

Each sliced. this is pic of Pineapple dusted with a lil sugar

Light the fire in that Lil house.  Add some cherry for smoke.  Level it off at 230

Chickens done at 165 deg right at 4 hours.  This is best I've done. Its my standard chicken now.

Corn on cob took off at 3 1/2 hours].  Very good.  Surprising how tender. Its the best outdoor corn I've done.

Green Beans off at 3 1/2 hours.  Surprised me how good this turned out. Will do this again.

Cabbage off at 4 hours.  Best cabbage I've ever ate and I dont even like cabbage. This made a convert.

Onions off at 3 1/2 hours.  Unbelievable.  Onion bite ir gone. Very tender but still has plenty of body. Not over cooked and soft, still firm.

Desert off at 2 1/2 hours. Apples dissapointed,  Pears very good.  Pineapple stole the day. Add a small dip of ice cream and its heaven.

Wow, fantastic array of smoked goodness, everything looks delicious!  How did the apples disappoint?  Too done or not enough?  Possibly next time in a pan with some brown sugar, spices and a crumb or streusel topping, just until slightly soft?

Pop's I think your right.  What I did what slice em about 3/8 in thick and jut place on grill.  Ended up cooked but kinda like a half way dried apple slice.  Apple flavor was intensified and texture was about half way between a raw apple and apple sauce ( dont know any other way to describe it)

I think in a pan would keep it from drying out so bad.  Next time I'll do that.

Now what I need its a bread that cooks at 250 and maybe a cake or pie.
