Monitoring IT of meat on your roti

[WB Zipf]

Thank you all, I was on the fence but your endorsement push me over the edge. Especially the picture of the turkey breast!!!

I would not want to be without a rotisserie. Most commonly, I probably use it for turkey breasts.

So how do you set up your coals to cook that? Did you use charcoal baskets directly under the bird?

I place coals on both sides of the spit, similar to what is depicted in this pic from a Weber manual. There could be occasion or folks who place coals only on one side. There is no reason not to use the baskets but I just never developed the habit of using them often when I started out.

This is from a different cook I think and shows the setup.
