I let OneGrill know about the hole size issue, and they wrote back: Thank you for the email. Yes, the holes on that bracket were undersized. We recently received an order of those brackets and found out the hole size was too small on a handful of them. We had shipped some of the brackets out...

The OneGrill bracket came in, and it seems to fit with my older OneGrill motor/spit that was made for my old Genesis. The bracket came with two bolts/nuts. Well, the bolts would not fit through the bracket holes no matter how I tried. Got out the drill and a 1/4" bit. Bored out the holes in...

This is a praiseworthy project. Nice work! One of the best meals I ever had was at Johnnie's Beef in Elmwood Park (Chicago): One beef, juicy (dipped), sweet and hot (peppers). Fries. Lemon Ice. The Art of Ordering at Johnnie’s Beef I sat at the second table in this pic, with a concrete truck...

Looks good! Try tossing a handful of Fritos in there. The only time I buy them is for chili, and then they are a must have.

I was thinking it sounded okay, then I saw onion gravy. Now I'm all in!

Lamb pastrami is a new one on me (I've seen duck pastrami); it looks very good. Nice work! I went on a pastrami and bacon making kick when we were all stuck at home in 2020. I really wished I had a meat slicer to get thin cuts, but I couldn't justify such a large item eating space in the house...

I applaud your efforts, and the results look great. Pho is a favorite. I love to cook, but I've never tackled pho because (1) the time commitment to making the roasted-bones/charred-veg stock and (2) we have three good Vietnamese restaurants that serve delicious pho for a fraction of what it...

The Basement Hangout guys did a comparison cook of chuck roasts with Smoque and Searwood. The Searwood roast was said to (surprisingly) have more smoke flavor and be more tender. Searwood was a 10, and Smoque was an 8.5. They've done several pellet grill comparisons, some with blind taste...

Nice looking brisket! And it sounds like y'all had a great family gathering. I've yet to cook brisket on my pellet grill, and it may be a while longer. I glanced at briskets at Sam's the other day, and they were $100 or more for a decent size choice grade.

It's 8:00 a.m., and I just had a bowl of cereal, but I could eat a bowl of that chili right now. The only time I buy Fritos is for chili, and it's almost a must have.

My usual method for steaks is dry brine a couple hours or so in the refrigerator and add fresh cracked black pepper when ready to cook. I use the Genesis with Grill Grates (flat side), preheat to get them pretty hot, then put steaks on with lid open to sear a crust on each side (about 3...

OneGrill wrote back and said, "If you only need the bracket our 4PB19 bracket should work." Order placed. We'll see if it works. Tip for others fooling with similar issues: I have a OneGrill motor (for Genesis) and a Weber motor (for kettle rotisserie), and the slots where the motor slides...

We make them a time or two a year in a huge batch, eat several, and freeze the rest for later.

I have cooked many racks of lamb indirect on my kettle, with some chunks of cherry in the charcoal. I used to get two racks in a package at Sam's for about $25. Now you get one for that price. Dry brined one for a few hours in the fridge, then hit with cracked pepper and garlic powder before...

Well, I tried it, but it doesn't quite work. When I twist the bracket to line up the motor/hole with the spit, the front of the bracket hits the spit just before it gets where it needs to be. This is as close as it will get.
