Hmmm...
Might be interesting.

 

[Andy.Craig]

Curious to hear too!

Hmmmm, I might have to buy one of these

interestinf. Though a 6 in base seems a bit small?

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

I’d load it too full for a 6” base, I’d think 10” would be better.

 

[Bruce]

Yah, I was thinking the same thing. IMO, the base not only serves to holt the skewer and meat upright, but also provides an indirect heat shield for the meat. 6 inches is not big enough to do that for many cuts of meat. I also think 10" would be a lot better.

If you put a larger piece of meat at the bottom / base then I don't think it would really matter, the weight of the base meat would keep things in place....of course if you built it like an upside down triangle with the small meat at the base then you'd have issues

Pretty cool and a great price. Some of the pics show it on a metal drip pan so the 6" size shouldnt matter.

I just ordered one. Tacos Al Pastor on the menu soon

Thanks for sharing, I just ordered one. I've been wanting one of these forever. I'll have to post up my first cook after it gets here.

I still don't know why there is not an outbreak of food poisoning around every gyros spot.

Yeah, it is strange how they just keep a big piece of meat out in the open all day like that and slice off as they go.... Do they use the same chunk of meat for multiple days?

 

[Tony-Chicago]

Yes they do.

 

[Kyle in Woodstock]

Yes they do.

Tacos Al Pastor on the menu soon

Need any ideas?

I ordered one over the weekend also as have been looking to do Tacos Al Pastor for a while now.

Fair enough, I was just thinking that I want to have an even larger “base slab of protein” but, put it in a drip pan and that whole idea kind of goes away.

After I ordered this I realized my air fryer has a rotisserie. Going to have to try the el pastor both ways to see which is better.

I ordered one over the weekend because it was 50% off and I have a poor sense of financial responsibility.

But I might try the taco thing, too.
