Summer nights call for firing up the smoker and making dinner on it! It can be hard to prep, time and get it all perfect if you are trying to make the entire dinner on your smoker.

We will outline the time schedule below on just how to get that done!

Luckily for you, we’ve did that all for you. We have a meal of Jalapeno Popper Smoked Meatballs, Smoked Hasselback Potatoes and Smoked Peach Cake for dessert (<— don’t forget the ice cream!).

I just throw a simple salad with it to round it out or if you have a large smoker make Smoked Vegetables and you have a meal!

The first step is to start by getting your smoker ready to go.

What kind of pellets should I use?

We used our favorite Kingsford Signature Wood Pellets for this recipe. It’s a spicy blend of cherry, hickory and maple for a big, bold flavor.

I love this versatile blend that pairs well with proteins, side dishes and desserts!

Plus, this brand of pellets is one of our favorites because it doesn’t have fillers, binders or preservatives.

Another thing we love is you can use it no matter what smoker you have. We have one brand at home and another brand at the cabin and it works great in both of them!

Before I start the smoker I get everything prepped and ready to place on the smoker.

That way when it’s ready you just have to place the food on the smoker without rushing to get the next recipe ready. So much less stressful, plus you can hang out with family and friends or play with the kids.

We love cooking outdoors during the summer because our kids are usually out there and it’s just easier to cook our meals outside and eat on the patio!

Below we will go through each recipe and steps to prepare them!

Timeline for Dinner

  • Start smoker and set it to 350 degrees F. We used Kingsford Signature Wood Pellets which is a blend of hickory, oak and cherry.
  • Then place your prepared Peach Dump Cake and Hasselback Potatoes on smoker.
  • After they have been cooking for about 30 minutes place meatballs on smoker.
  • Remove the cake from the smoker when it is golden brown on top and the middle is set.
  • Remove the potatoes from smoker when they are fork tender, stuff with cheese and return to smoker for 3-5 minutes to melt cheese.
  • Remove meatballs when they are cooked through about 20 minutes.

I find it easiest to have everything ready to put on the smoker before I place the cake and potatoes on the smoker, but you could make the meatballs while they are cooking.

You will find each recipe below that you can print off in this order:

  • Jalapeno Popper Smoked Meatballs
  • Smoked Hasselback Potatoes
  • Smoked Peach Dump Cake

Smoked Hasselback Potatoes

One of our favorite side dishes on the smoker is a Smoked Baked Potato, but we leveled it up by slicing it and sticking cheese in the slices!

A few simple ingredients take these from plain baked potato to garlic and cheese infused deliciousness.

Smoked Hasselback Potatoes stuffed wtih cheese and topped with chopped chives laying on foil that and on a plate.

You will need:

  • Russet potatoes
  • Butter
  • Garlic
  • Sharp cheddar cheese
  • Chives
Overhead image of potatoes, slices of cheese on plate, melted butter in bowl, minced garlic in bowl and chopped chives in a bowl.

Steps to Prepare:

  • Preheat Smoker.
  • Cut each potato so there are about 8 slices, making sure not to cut through the bottom of the potato. We recommend placing chopsticks on each side of the potato so you can’t cut all the way through it.
  • Place each potato onto the center a heavy duty aluminum foil sheet about 14” x 12”.
  • Combine melted butter and garlic in small bowl and brush it on potatoes making sure to get in the slices.
  • Wrap up foil around potato and place on the smoker for about 40 minutes or until fork tender.
  • Remove from grill, cut each piece of cheese into about 8 slices and place in the slices of potato. Place back on the smoker to melt, without wrapping the foil around them.
  • Take off of smoker and sprinkle with chives and serve immediately.
  • Russet potato sitting on a wood cutting board with chopsticks on each side with slits cut into it.
  • Overhead image of potatoes, slices of cheese on plate, melted butter in bowl, minced garlic in bowl and chopped chives in a bowl.
  • White bowl with melted butter in it.
  • Sliced russet potato that's been brushed with garlic and butter sitting on a piece of aluminum foil.
  • Foil wrapped potato
  • Potatoes wrapped in aluminum foil sitting on the smoker rack.
  • Hasselback potato with cheese slices in the slices of the potato.
  • Hasselback Potatoes stuffed with cheese sitting on a piece of aluminum foil on a smoker rack.

There’s nothing like that tender, fluffy potato that’s full of melted cheese!

Just think of the different toppings you can stuff those potatoes with! Maybe smoked bacon, slices of ham, a dollop of sour cream?
