Cornbread in an FEC500

You can get it that high, my suggestion? Fire that puppy up and TEST how hi you can get. It varies with the pellets (based on BTU's) so just give it a test.

Hey Mike,
yes you can cook cornbread in a 500. The high temp on mine goes to 424*. You can also "bake" most breads of that sort at350 just increase cooking times accordingly.

Sorry Big Pappa,
I haven't been on here for some time. Been busy with catering, feeding the troops at Ft. Bragg and smokin' turkeys.
I actually cranked up my smoke to 350-375 and baked 3 full pans of corn bread and it came out okay. Would have liked it alittle more moist. If anyone knows how to make it more moist let me know. It was good but I like it a bit more moist.
As a side note to help anyone in the future.
Been using my FEC500 so much I have an igniter going out. The contactor was chattering one day and made me take notice. I called Billy at CookShack and he is sending me a new ignitor. He said that was one symptom of an ignitor about ready to go. Good service.
Thanks CookShack.

We've done cornbread at 350 on the smoker - turns out excellent. Also, cooking at a lower temperature lets you have a little larger window of time to judge when it's done.

Try adding more oil to your recipe for "moister" cornbread.

We have a vendor with a 500 and he cooks on the comp side with his FEC 100,also.He has been doing cornbread for a couple years.
