The Big Easy Potatoes
« Reply #-1 on: March 14, 2014, 10:41:55 AM »
Need some advice please.

It been three or four years since I had a TBE and now that I have gone full circle back to a Big Easy there is some relearning.
For instance I forgot how long to bake potatoes in it.
Y'all Big Easy uses please provide me some info and thanks in advance.

I don't have a big easy but I do own an SRG. 

I scrub my spuds, dry them, rub them with EVOO, and season with salt/pepper or your favorite spices to taste.  Lid open on high for about 1¼ to 1½ hours till the IT reaches 210ºF.

My experience is around 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours depending on the size of the taters.

I normally put them in about 20 minutes before adding my chicken. Then they were usually finished right around the same time as the chicken.

Spuds done in the Big Easy and/or the SRG are the BEST!!  Learned how to do them this way from the Bradley Forum years ago and now it's the only way that I bake potatoes  :)  ;)  8)

Thanks all and I will plan for one and half hours and look for a internal temp of 210.

Not only are the spuds good, I roast several other vegetables in my BEESR while I'm grilling meats on the Weber.  ;)

I normally only do two at a time on a shelf near the top of TBE. It takes around an hour and I cook until I can stick a bamboo skewer in them and it goes in and out easily and cleanly. I have never checked the temp.  Then I wrap them in foil and cook my steaks or whatever. My wife does not want a baked potato cooked any way but in TBE now.
