I'm going to do a chicken on the roti Saturday, for the first time. I'm going to use the charcoal rails w/25 coals on each side as recommended by Weber. Drip pan in the middle with a baker potato in the pan. Any tips, pointers or comments?
 
yes, one.
have plenty of Shiner on hand!

That is one good tip! My couch looks out onto my Performer, so I will be in air-conditioned comfort while drinking suds and will get to watch "as the bird turns" for entertainment. Better than watching the Astro's anyway.
 
Don't believe the weather forecaster. As in "it never rains on the golf course" it doesn't rain when I grill! Enjoy the "bird" and the suds as well.
 
Sorry, but the radar and rain outside say otherwise. I may get a small break in the rain but I've already passed on buying the bird while shopping today.

I was too wanting to know about the baker potato.
Let us know.

It was raining here in Melbourne today so I said stuff it and fired up the performer on the decking under the pergola and did a chicken on the rotisserie - one of the joys of having a roof over the decking. You get to cook all year round no matter what the weather. By the way it is mid winter and the temp was about 9 degrees Celsius.

Cheers
 
Hey Jim,

I cooked these about two weeks ago - <span class="flash-video"><embed pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"

I injected them with a garlic butter marinade the night before for extra flavor. The longer they marinate, the better. I then dry rubbed them right before I put them on . I used 25 briquets on either side and a chunk of oak to give it some smoke flavor. Left them on for two hours. Sauced 15 minutes before I pulled them off. I have to say it was the best chicken I have ever had. Good luck and dont hesitate with any questions you might have.
 
Omar, thanks! It was your post in the photo gallery that got me off my duff. They sure do look good and I will be trying that injection, can't go wrong with garlic or butter!
