Well, 6550s are actually hotter than 6L6s but if you're going to do a 
BBQ you're going to need to heat a larger amount of air.  This is 
probably best for bass players to tackle, as you'll need a fairly large 
speaker cabinet to hang your meat in, and then a nice big 4 tube 
6550/KT88 amp head might be just the heat source.

Of course, I think we should stay on topic here and concentrate on the 
cookie problem.  I think Kirk is right that EL34s will make cookies that 
only taste good overcooked.  It's really just a question now of how many 
6L6s do we need?  2 or 4?  I think maybe a two way mirror between the 
tubes and the baking compartment to allow IR heat from the tubes in and 
then trap it there.

What about the smoke from some smoking bass lines?
