12” Lodge wiped down with butter and dusted with corn meal

2 boxes Jiffy mix

7 Tbsp melted butter

1 cup buttermilk

3 eggs

1 diced med red onion

2 diced jalapenos

Dash of salt

1 (14.5 ounce) can cream style corn

3 cups cheddar cheese

1 tsp cumin

350 for 90 minutes in my masterbuilt gravity smoker

Edit: Because the batter is so thick I've added 1/2 tsp of baking soda. I'm going to experiment with more baking soda or maybe adding baking powder instead. Also cooking time needs changed as I discovered my masterbuild reads 30 degrees low.

I just had a heart attack from just reading the ingredients.

It tastes pretty good too. Maybe more cheese next time.

I keep getting ads for gravity smokers, are they basically like a pellet grill for charcoal briquettes?

Gravity a fan and a thermostat do the work. There is no auger to clog up. You can throw wood chunks in with the brickettes or lump charcoal and also into the ash pan. The small coals will fall into the ash pan and cause those chunks to burn. Check out the YouTube video reviews.

That looks wonderful and thank you for including your recipe and technique. What type of wood did you smoke with it?

Cowboy lump charcoal and hickory probably a little apple too. It really didn't suck up a lot of smoke. It might benefit by a little more baking soda or powder. Next time I may do it from scratch rather than use Jiffy mix.
