Mammoth Reviews??

[ILMsmoke]

I need an outdoor oven for doing tasks like biscuits and breakfast casseroles. I'm considering the Mammoth as something that may do the job and fill some other smoking gaps here and there. Anyone with a Mammoth done any baking? Biscuit test? I'm curious!

I think everyone is waiting on you to provide the first review..

Ceramic oven= Kamado.

I have BGEs and Kamado Joe and I love them. You can bake, smoke, sear, grill, etc.

Hear me out - you might consider a plain jane gasser. At our remote cabin, we have a few propane burners, ample dutch ovens, a barrel cooker, even an old school wood burning stove/oven. The one thing we need to replace is a 6 burner gasser, it turns out you can use it like an oven and it works great. We might have 20-30 people there on a big weekend, and if you have some big aluminum pans it works great.

Otherwise what you just asked for is a dutch oven.

If its big enough to have one side hot, the other side indirect, a gasser is perfect. I have always wanted to try putting a layer of fire bricks on the grate to really create n oven out of a gasser.

Just making sure you're aware the Mammoth is a pellet cooker, so anything you cook/smoke/bake in it will have a delicate smoke to it; which is great on some things but you may not want it that way on everything. A plain ol' electric smoker can be a set-it-and-forget-it smokeless oven should you choose.

We hope to get an official review on it, but it may not be until after spring.

Great point Huskee. Most everything that gets baked in it will be covered breakfast casseroles or biscuits. I'm not too worried about the smoke flavor at higher temps either...

[ILMsmoke]

To add information, I need the capacity of 5 full pans at a time. I cook breakfast for 75 people 100x per year. I will not use it every time I cook, will need some capacity when I do use it.

What is driving the 100 cooks annually for 75 people? A church breakfast?

[ILMsmoke]

Work.During our busy season they feed us to keep us there. I typically cook breakfast and we cater lunch...

FWIW, I've been known to bake in my OG ... mostly pizza, but also the occasional sourdough boule. At my typical baking temps (400-450ºF), the smoke flavor is so light as to be effectively undetectable. The Mammoth should do fine in that department. It's going to be a very dry heat, though ... so you might want to consider using a water/steam pan.

Looks good. I suggest looking at the Camp Chef Smoke Vault 24. It is a propane vertical. It will take 5 shelves but you might need an extra for 5 but shelves don’t cost much. If you want smoke you can add chunks but can run it without. Has a large water pan. I use mine now usually for overflow cooking or just for baking. Just a thought. Good luck.
