Well, the last video Fwismoker posted of his rotisserie put me over the edge, I had to have one. I procured a closed top barrel a few months ago that was a perfect candidate. I had cut the top out and was planning on grinding the rim to fit a weber lid, but the rotisserie was a better idea. My friend volunteered to buy the equipment since I had the drum. We each have a BPS drum so we decided to use the BPS basket and share the rotisserie when complete.
Lowe's only had 2 SS U-bolts that were the correct size, the smaller U bolt will need to be replaced later.
A quick paint job
Everything fit like a glove.
Loaded up and ready to go to our friends house for the soccer match and first chicken cook. You can see the proud grandfather in the background.
birds on. one of the cool things about the spit is you can load the chicken and spin it to apply rub prior to dropping the coal basket. These got a little plowboys yardbird.
Had the game on the projector while they spun.
The pit stayed about 350-400 during the cook, measured just below the birds. who knows what the actual temp was, I found that it really doesn't matter. At about an hour in I started basting with Boshizzle's Griffin sauce.
They came off at about the 2 hour mark. They rested for a few minutes and then the wolves attacked, the birds never made it out of the pan. Do you see that juice pooled up in the pan? That is a mixture of Griffin sauce and the juices from the bird. The flavor of that "dipping sauce" was unlike anything I have ever tasted, I think I noticed a few tears being shed.
I have been cooking chicken all my life and this chicken was perfectly cooked. Perfectly juicy throughout, perfect flavor profile, and best of all we all got to watch and smell it being cooked.
Thanks for looking!
