SlowNSear Deluxe or Weber Charcoal Baskets?

[Richard Garcia]

On setting-up your Weber Kettle for Rotisserie spinning which do you use and how many briquettes do you light-up to a spin one(1) 3lb chicken?

 

[Keith P]

I use the Weber charcoal baskets and split a near full Weber chimney worth of charcoal between them. 80 minutes seems to be the magic number for me with that setup.

Good luck

Thanx for your excellent reply!

Don’t forget to throw some good veggies in the drip pan under that chicken

I agree with Keity P. A charcoal basket on each side provides a hot fire which works well for spinning a chicken on a kettle with a rotisserie ring.

Pretty much all of mine have been done with Keith’s style set up.


And, this is the result, stuffed very loosely with both halves of a lemon and head of garlic. Get it on, then sprinkle with salt and pepper as it turns! I hate to admit the number of times I’ve forgotten the drip pan let alone putting any potatoes or anything in the drip pan!
Richard, I’m sure you will you will do fine, honestly, it’s just about the easiest set up for a leisurely cook in the world!

I do the same thing on the roti as Keith as well. I have seen people use one basket so The SNS may work well. I have 2 chickens on this setup but one does just fine. Drip pan is important or you’ll have a mess in the bottom of the kettle. Roti cooks are just fun.

Like others here on my WSK I use a charcoal basket on either side with a few wood chunks thrown in for good measure, and a drip pan underneath (dry or stocked depending on the cook).

Might be different on a 22” kettle but on the WSK my SNS would sit too high for the cook Id want from a rotisserie.

Thank you for your reply and excellent photo!

Fellow Forum Members; many thanx for your excellent input. The photos at the attachment are from my last outing with the rotisserie attachment in which was somewhat unsuccessful IMO. Tomorrow I have a few of my relatives showing-up for more of my rotisserie chicken and hope it turns-Out Ok. This time I will be trussing the bird which should prevent the bird detaching from the spit fork and carbonizing the chicken legs as displayed in the photos below.

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

Truss the legs separately if you have to, one loop on the “ankles” and one to hold the wings in so the whole thing is somewhat like a football. You are on the right track, a few more birds and you will be setting up and spinning something every few days for a month!

Thanx Colin and on my other Weber Grill were some other tasty morsels enjoyed by my Costa Rican relatives.

Is that the Turbo Trusser on those birds?

Yes......makes the fuss of trussing just go away.
