cooking potatoes in insert

[madman39]

Im cooking baked potatoes for the first time in my new lopi freedombay insert! I have a good bed of coles buring and I cut off the air to cool it down. I'm going to try a half hour and see what I get! We should have some yummy baked potatoes for lunch!:greenchainsaw:

when I had a wood stove I would cook potatoes in the wood stove by putting them in a cast iron dutch oven filled with sand. I would rap the taters in foil and bury them in the sand.

I just double rapped them in tin fole, I think it should work, we'll see!

o for sure it will, I cook em like that all the time in a camp fire. sometimes they tend to burn a bit but I kinda like a burnt tater sometimes, crispy on the outside creamy on the inside.

Had baked potatoe last night with supper. No foil for me. Just open the cookstove door, wait 25 mins. or so, and voila! Baked potatoe. Get to save the tin foil to make hats with.

Last nights tater was especially good. Went along with beef au jus. Gotta love the au jus - occupies the sweetspot somewhere betwixt blood and gravy.

Ya, they were good but need to go another 10 or 15 mins I had to finish them in the microwave. My little girl loved it, potatoes are her fav! I will have to do that again!!! yum!!!

30 minutes will do it. Thats the only way we cook them in the winter. I would suggest rotating and flipping them about half way through. The best darn taters ever!

My wife just made me a walleye sandwich for lunch. Your potatoes would have gone nicely with it. I may have to go home again...
