French Baugettes

Tried this for the first time today. They turned out great! I also cooked a brisket but forgot to get pics of it. Brisket was good but I my store had was a flat. I think the packer works better but the flat wasn't bad. The recipe for the bread can be found here. http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/french-ba ... ail.aspxnd

All right we need more information; how hot?, with smoking wood?, just charcoal?, lump or briquette?yadayadayada...you get the idea.

p.s. The link didn't work, I think there are parts of it missing. Don't think the 3 dots should be in the middle of the URL. Was this the link? http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/French-Bag ... etail.aspx
Never mind about the 3 dots, it's just the way the forum shortens the link, it sees the entire URL when you click on it.

Ok....more info. I cooked the brisket first. While the brisket finished up I made the bread dough in my bread machine. While the dough was resting I took the brisket off and foiled it and put it in a cooler to rest. Then I drained the water from the smoker, added some more lump and cranked the heat up to 375. Then I baked the bread on a stone for 25 minutes.

BTW...thanks Rick for fixing the link. Yes that is the right one. Also I did not use any smoke...just the lump. You could just get a hint of smoke when you ate the bread. The bread was really easy and very good!
