Friends,
I would really like to make Alton Brown's Tikka Masala using chicken, not lamb, on my kettle using the modified flower pot. I have the pot, cut smoothly, all the spices, and a serious yen to get started, but to make the dish you must have LONG skewers, 27 or 28 inches long. The ones AB uses are from a company called Super Skewers, and they want $79 for a 10 pack. That offends my sensibilities. I'd like to make something 27-28 inches long, quality steel, and would gladly do so if I could know the material and find the material. Does anybody have any suggestions of something safe, available, and less expensive I could use as a material to make skewers? Thanks for any answers in advance.
