    Some scaling, measuring, and rough figuring going on. 


    Gimme a few days... Maybe by the weekend...

    I don’t know if a spatchcocked bird will fall apart on the cross. I guess I’ll find out. 
    @The@"The Cen-Tex Smoker" I was thinking the same - chicken, ribs (pork and beef shiners), flank steak, maybe a turkey???

    I want to be sure I have clearance to put a cazuela under the protein to catch drips and juices. I can build the fire in the brassero

    Hey Coleman isn't too far away and since I am not working right now, I would be willing to drive down and sample anything you whip up.  Using social distancing of course.  lol

    @Hook_emHornsfan_74 After all this Covid-fiasco even an Aggie and a UT guy could get along and share some Q...
    when it’s all done we might just do that. 
    Coleman, Texas
    Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
    "Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

    @20stone I’m pretty excited about this. You guys push me in the right direction occasionally. 
    This charcuterie thing may be a different rabbit hole entirely. We need to discuss this more. Right now I can’t find a freezer. 
    The alternative we discussed won’t work. Summer maintenance causes issues...

    I cleaned and oiled the paella pans today. I swear when it’s safe to do so I’ll invite all y’all to come eat. 
    We might even dig pits and chit...
    Make Francis Mallman proud...

    Wow.... I've heard a lot of things before, but never that.

    On the charcuterie, it'll wait.  Of all the dumb things, it is the one for people with patience (which, much to my surprise, includes me).

    As for UT and A&M people sharing a meal, I have learned to make that work... three times a day during the quarantine.  A few of us will have to head up when the gates open, and make use of your full-sized cross and paella pans.

    @caliking Nice! The pasta and sauce look great. The chicken is really nice. A rotisserie is a device I don’t have.... Yet.

    For the sake of this thread, broke out the Arrosticini Grill. 

    Grilled up some Filipino BBQ Skewers and roasted eggplant.



    That's cool!  Would be fun to have a "make-your-own-shish-kabob" party, with everyone assembling/grilling their own.

    It's a ten hour drive to Nawlins for Brisket camp, 11 hours to Dan Nihcols for BAM Blast.  I'ven driven it three times between both places.  Twenty hours is nothing for @SciAggie Blast

    I really don’t know why I haven’t done more roti chix all this time. Easy, quick, and yes, it beats spatchcocked chix. 
    Damn, wish I kept my dumpster-rescued silver Performer with my redneck rotisserie.

    And that's why I can't bring myself to get rid of any grills. The remorse would kill me :)

    @Foghorn @SciAggie a rotisserie is a nice accessory to have. Folks have done some greats cooks with a Joetisserie on their eggs. I used to do huli huli chix on the rotisserie, and they turned out well.

     I do need to use this more often.  Simple, easy , and relatively short cook.

    Rotisserie chicken on “a” Weber kettle. Extra credit for figuring out what year. 

    Haven’t used it in so long that I had to cut the cover off, and one of the bottom vents broke off in my hand when I tried to turn it closed. 

    Still works, apparently. 




    Tried a burst tomato sauce for the first time, and... It. Was. Awesome!! So fresh, light, and flavorful. Will definitely repeat. 



    Served with pasta made from scratch. Plated shot sucks, because folks were hungry, and I took the wing.
