Baking stuff on an outdoor grill?

[aquarium]

We've had limited success with cookies and pizza - but the bottoms get burned. Does anyone know of a technique/product that will get the bottom of the pan up higher off the grilling surface and still properly distribute the heat? It's very hot here in central Texas and we're shutting down the oven inside the house for a couple of months.

A huge snowstorm, that we were unprepared for in sunny NC ,left us with no power for 5 days. I found that I could bake brownies on my grill using my Pampered Chef stoneware...worked great and no burnt bottoms.

Try cooking stones or tiles for pizza. For baking, as joliecharlie posted, stone cookware works well, so does cast iron cookware.

Also use indirect heating, ie. place the coals or only turn on the burner(s) on the side that you do not put the items you are cooking.

You will also want to control your temperature as you would in an oven. If your grill does not have a thermometer, look for an oven thermometer at a hardware or grocery store.
