OK, please forgive me and my lack of knowledge. Is that a bread? And if it is why is it called a King cake?

That looks good! I've never heard or seen it before but I would try a piece!
Mossy Mo the pellet burners make great units to bake in.

Very nicely done. It looks cooked to perfection!
The ones I've had were like a big cinnamon roll/loaf baked in the shape of a crown, which is why it looks like bread.

Yes, it is traditional to have these during the Mardi Gras season. They are, essentially, a large cinnamon roll. It's a yeast dough, rolled out flat (approx 10 x 17), then you spread melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon, roll it up and form a circle (see first pic). I baked it in the Traeger at 350 for 20 mins. WoW oh WoW was it good. Everyone loved the hint of smoke.
Once it's baked, you insert a small plastic baby somewhere in the bottom of the cake. The person who gets the baby has to host the next party. It's really quite fun.
Stepping outside our comfort zone is something we all need to do (and keep doing). Otherwise I'd still be cooking a turkey in my oven. Can you imagine that?
