Focus: ProQ Flatdog

Difficulty Level: Beginner

Why This Recipe Works

Cooking over an open flame using the ProQ Flatdog brings out the natural sweetness of peaches, creating a beautiful caramelized surface while keeping the inside soft and juicy. The cinnamon honey butter adds a rich, spiced flavor, making this the perfect camping-inspired dessert that’s both easy and impressive.

Grilling peaches over Pure Fire Lump Coal on the ProQ Flatdog ensures even charring and a deliciously smoky undertone.

Equipment Needed

  • ProQ Flatdog – Provides a simple, effective open-fire grilling experience
  • Cast Iron Skillet or Grill Grate – Ensures even caramelization
  • Mixing Bowl – For preparing the cinnamon honey butter
  • Basting Brush – For glazing peaches
  • Tongs – For flipping peaches

Key Products Used

  • ProQ Flatdog – Compact and versatile for open-fire grilling
  • Pure Fire Lump Coal – Burns hot and clean, perfect for desserts
  • Bad Axe Beech Logs – Optional for adding a mild, sweet smokiness

Ingredients (Serves 4-6)

For the Grilled Peaches

  • 6 ripe peaches (halved and pits removed)
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For Serving

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (or vanilla ice cream)
  • ¼ cup chopped nuts (almonds or pecans)
  • 2 tbsp extra honey (for drizzling)
  • 1 tsp sea salt (for balance)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the ProQ Flatdog

  1. Fill the ProQ Flatdog with Pure Fire Lump Coal and light using a Pure Fire Natural Lighter Cube.
  2. Open the airflow vents fully to let the coals heat up.
  3. Once the coals are white-hot and glowing, spread them evenly to create a medium heat zone.
  4. Place a cast iron skillet or grill grate over the coals to preheat for 5 minutes.

Fire Management Tips:

  • If the grill is too hot, move the peaches to the edge for indirect heat.
  • For extra smokiness, add a small Bad Axe Beech Log near the coals.

Step 2: Prepare the Cinnamon Honey Butter

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, honey, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
  2. Whisk until smooth and set aside.

Step 3: Grill the Peaches

  1. Brush the cut side of each peach generously with the cinnamon honey butter.
  2. Place the peaches cut-side down on the grill grate or skillet.
  3. Grill for 3-4 minutes, until the peaches develop a deep golden caramelization.
  4. Flip the peaches and grill for another 2 minutes on the skin side.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Transfer the grilled peaches to a serving plate.
  2. Top each peach with a spoonful of Greek yogurt or vanilla ice cream.
  3. Sprinkle with chopped nuts for crunch.
  4. Drizzle with extra honey and a pinch of sea salt for balance.

Expert Tips & Troubleshooting

🔥 How to prevent peaches from sticking

  • Make sure the grill is well-oiled before placing the peaches.
  • Use a cast iron skillet for a more controlled caramelization.

🔥 How to get the best caramelization

  • Use ripe but firm peaches—overripe peaches will turn mushy.
  • Grill over medium heat, not direct high heat, to avoid burning.

🔥 How to enhance the smoky flavor

  • Add Bad Axe Beech Logs for a mild smoky touch.
  • Close the lid for 1 minute while grilling for a deeper infusion of smoke.

Serving Suggestions & Variations

  • Swap peaches for nectarines, plums, or pineapple slices.
  • Add a dusting of powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
  • Replace honey with maple syrup or caramel sauce.
  • Serve with crushed graham crackers for a s’mores-inspired twist.
