Hey all,
I bought myself a joetisserie for my large bge and would like to start with a simple chicken. Anyone know of a recipe for this application, particularly prepping of chicken (rubs, etc), temps?
Thx!

I'm a big fan of Montreal chicken seasoning on my chix but I always spatch. Haven't coughed up the dough for a joetisserie yet.

It makes a fine chicken. Make sure you truss or tie up the legs and wings to prevent them from getting to dark.
Also, bank the coals to the back of the firebox. I use a foil drip pan to catch chicken fat

Depending on how hot you cook it, you may want to watch the amount of seasoning in your rub. I ran into a charring problem the first cook I did on my Joetissorie.XL BGE, Lg BGE, MiniMax BGE, Mini BGE

I've done 350-375 with the Joetisserie. I pull the chicken out the day before the cook, separate the skin from the rest and rub salt/seasonings between the skin/meat. Let it air dry in the fridge overnight and then cook it.Near San Francisco in California

@zman51 you've got all the right advice from baychilla and coltsfan. Follow above and you'll be GTG.
Seriously though, push that fire to the far back and put a drip pan in or you will be in for quite the stinky fireball.
If you have a Kickash basket they also sell a coal divider for them. I started using one with the Joetisserie and it really helps keeping that fire on one side of the Egg."Brought to you by bourbon, bacon, and a series of questionable life decisions."

I just bought a Joetisserie for my XL, haven't used it yet, and after reading about it in here, I just now ordered a Kick Ash basket divider. Anxious to try them both.Tampa Bay, Florida

I'm interested in a Joetisserie for my LBGE. Is this something that needs to be attached permanently? Does it prevent smothering the coals after your done cooking?

I'll just add to EggbertGreenlls comment that I remove the ring prior to smothering as even were I to return the spit it allows too much airflow for my tastes.Near San Francisco in California

Great! Thanks for the replies!
How many chickens do you think you can get on a LBGE?
