WessB,
I don't wrap them in foil. Just a coating of oil and on an indirect setup. I don't even know what tempt a tater should be. I just stick'em with a fork and if it slides in and out easily then its done. 
butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar, yummmmm.....

WessB,
I love Sweet Potatoes on the egg!!! I just put on with whatever is cooking for about an hour. They get really soft (and burn marks on the skin from being cooked directly) when they are done. Then cinnamon/sugar and Butter on them. Man it doesn't get any better. If I had to guess the time and temp it would be 350-400 for an hour (but honestly just cook them till they are really soft). Cook it with a spatchcock chicken and they will be done about the same time.

WessB, we butter them and put them in a foil pan and cook them on the plate setter legs down. Fresh ones do not take as long as store bought, so I would say about and hour and a half at 350 should do it. We feel them to tell when they are done. Good luck.

WessB, You can put all the oil, salt and pepper on the outside of a sweet tater you want. It will not penetrate the skin. People will tell you that the smoke will penetrate the skin, but it won't. The flavor of the sweet tater comes from the carmelization of the sugar with-in.We here in the real south brush them lightly with oil to keep the skins soft while cooking. I usually wash mine off and wrap them in foil while still wet. Has the same effect.They get baked at 350 (indirect) till the are easy to squeeze. Let them sit for a short while. The skin should peel right off with your fingers. Mash them. Add some butter, sugar and cinnamon. YUMMM!!! Best part is even with the butter and sugar they are better for you then white taters.

WessB,
We like'm pealed sliced or cut into wedges, tossed with olive oil then a dusting of Shakin the Tree. Foil and place on the Egg for appx 30 min 350. Makes for a simple side dish.

AnnaG,
here's how you do it in the egg:Preheat egg, indirect setup, to 350 degrees F.
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces and put in a 9 by 13 baking dish. In a small bowl whisk together olive oil, honey and lemon juice. Pour mixture over potatoes and toss to coat. Sprinkle with the salt, and bake, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour, until potatoes are tender.

AnnaG,
try plate setter, legs up with grid on top and pan on the grid. or use a disposable grill topper screen and just put the potatoes on that. bump up the dome temp to 375, and cook till fork tender.i usually just cut them in half and put the stuff on top and in slits cut in the flesh and put right on the grid cut side up. the skin holds all the good stuff from dripping out.

WessB,
We raised our own sweet potatoes on the farm back in another life. We stored them in a hay loft of the barn and sprinkled white lime powder over them to keep them from sprouting. They would keep that way for months. My grandmother baked them almost daily in a wood burning stove that was always hot. I would guess about 400° to 500°. She just stuck them in the oven in a pan. No oil or salt or pepper. When she took them out they would be sitting in a pool of dark brown sugar that cooked out of them. The shells would be dry and separated from the meat.We made our own butter too so we added butter and that was it. Better than homemade ice cream.Later in the day we could grab up a cold sweet tater and take it with us to eat later. Hot or cold, they were like desert.Now you've got me want'n some sweet tater.Spring "Some Things You Don't Forget" Chicken

Ronbo,
Right on! They are a can't miss cook, almost. We just throw them on naked in a little aluminum foil boat with whatever else we have on the grill. Take them off when they start to get wrinkly. I have never tried it while TRexing but would probably work fine. A little butter is all you need.
