Live Fire Grilling & Roasting With Skewers

[thirdeye]

About 15 years ago a friend from Florida sent me some Brazilian style skewers, he had been experimenting with using them on his Big Green Egg. I was immediately hooked and use them on my Small BGE. Just this year I found a dealer that sells skewers is several widths and are longer in length so I can use them on my large BGE. I just wanted to throw out this method of cooking, it is very hands on.... but very rewarding when it comes to flavors. The combination of seasonings, marinades, and basting liquids is unlimited. In addition to the Brazilian style with the "V" blade, I also have some flat ones which can also be hung in my drum.

That kettle is a Smokey Joe, so ~13" grate. In this thread from last month I list the widths, lengths and the company I bought them from. The 18" is the length of the blade, it's another 1" to the roller.

Live Fire Skewer Grilling

I'm not sure how many people do this South American style of grilling, or have been to a Brazilian restaurant with the gaucho style servers and all the grilled delicacies, but about 15 years ago an online cooking buddy ordered some skewers from somewheres in South America, and gifted a few of...

Kinda like a hand held rotisserie.
Anything over an open fire gets my attention!
For New Years Day, I’m putting a turkey on the roti, over mesquite and hickory on the Santa Maria!
