Baking on the Grill: Holiday Desserts with Smoke & Flair

It's the holidays, which means it's baking season. But who says dessert has to stay in the kitchen? In this episode, Christie Vanover reveals why some of the best dessert makers in the country are actually pitmasters… and how YOU can bake incredible treats right on your grill or smoker.

Christie recaps the wild success of this year's BBQ Jackpot (including a dessert category that rivaled The Jack and the American Royal), shares behind-the-scenes stories from Food Network's Barbecue Brawl, and breaks down her top tips for baking cookies, cakes, pies and more over live fire.
