    Rotisserie Turkey?

    I finally got around to testing a turkey rotisserie cook and thought I'd post my results. TL;DR: I cooked a 12-pound bird that came out tender and juicy, with a light, smokey flavor. Rotisserie cooking also forced me to buy a new wireless thermometer. I chose the ThermoPro TempSpike XR...

    ThermoPro TempSpike XR after one week.

    I rotisserie-cooked a turkey today and the result was very good. In particular, the XR performed well after a couple adjustments. The cook took just about exactly 2 hours for a 12 pound turkey I inserted probes into the breast and the thigh of the turkey. I initially inserted the thigh probe...

    ThermoPro TempSpike XR after one week.

    My ThermoPro TP829 doesn't require an app and it works very well. The problem is I can't use it with my rotisserie. I agree with you on the needless complexity introduced by an app running on your phone. Bluetooth has always been a source of headaches for me, and I want a thermometer that...

    ThermoPro TempSpike XR after one week.

    I have the ThermoPro TP829 for use with my smoker and the wireless range on it is just fine for my use. It has wired probes that connect to a transmitter, which broadcasts via RF to the base unit. The wired probes eliminate any degradation in wireless performance due to the grill cover. The...

    Flanken Ribs

    We've probably seen some of the same videos. I agree. Lots of colorful characters!

    Flanken Ribs

    I was introduced to flanken ribs as tablitas awhile back. Mexican grocery stores and butchers around here (Dallas/Ft. Worth) carry them marinated and un-marinated. I like them both ways, but they can be tough and difficult to eat. Then I discovered the wonders of sous vide as it applies to...

    ThermoPro TempSpike XR after one week.

    Thanks for the review. It seems to confirm that I made a good choice when I bought one of these last week to use for rotisserie cooking. I plan to test it out on a turkey tomorrow (a test run before Thanksgiving). I plan to put one probe in the breast and the other in one of the thighs...

    Rotisserie Turkey?

    I'll let one of the experts here help with that. But, just to be clear, when I "smoke" a turkey, I cook it at 325-350 box temp until the IT is around 160 in the breast and 175 in the thigh. That's about how we cook them in the house, except outside, I use wood chunks to impart a smokey flavor...

    Rotisserie Turkey?

    Excellent idea! Thank you! I thought all along that if I removed the flavorizer bars to make more space, I'd have to remove the middle burner and cut off gas flow to it. I never thought I could simply wrap it in foil and just leave it "off". So yes, that creates almost 3 more inches of...

    Rotisserie Turkey?

    Yes. It won't fit in the grill. Sorry I didn't make that clear right away. Edited to add: I double checked my rotisserie. I thought I had to OnlyFire but I actually have a OneGrill unit featuring a 13W motor. They don't say it's weight capacity, just that it's capable of handling "tough...

    Rotisserie Turkey?

    Edited to correct: I actually have a OneGrill with a 13W motor and a 3/8 in. spit rod.

    Rotisserie Turkey?

    Another good thought. Thank you! I will look into some sizes My group likes the dark meat, so with a small bird and a breast, I likely wouldn't have enough. I'd have to put a couple legs and thighs in the smoker anyway.

    Rotisserie Turkey?

    Your suggestion prompted me to get up and take a couple of measurements. The Genesis 310 is really a pretty small grill. It has three burners, laid out front to back. There are about 17.5 inches between the left-most and right-most burners, so to cook two turkeys "indirect", their combined...

    Rotisserie Turkey?

    I'm thinking a weber kettle is the best option for me if I want to spin a turkey. How big of a bird to you spin? I'd like to try to spin a 16 pound turkey. Do you use the weber rotisserie kit or have you upgraded the motor? Thanks for the suggestion.

    Rotisserie Turkey?

    Apologies, but I'm having trouble visualizing this set up. My holders have 4 prongs, two long and two short. Are you saying you orient the holders so that the long prongs are 90 degrees apart leg end to neck end? How does this help maintain balance? Again, apologies for being thick. Thanks!
