Rotisserie chicken Hawaiian pizza Ribs for my 7 year old's birthday BBQ And random week night lobster fest

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. The little girl said, 'When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah'. The teacher asked, 'What if Jonah went to hell?' The little girl replied, 'Then you ask him'.

Try cooking it on its side lol

Yeah, I'm always cooking. I just haven't been posting as much lately for whatever reason. I'm now probably 50/50 with indoor/kamado cooking.

I always turn my fat cap to the side, but that's just me. Sometimes I shoot for a 45 degree angle.

Sound advice from a couple of serious BBQ'ers. One extra tip - cook indirect.

Here is a pair of new OctoForks that I bought and put together. It only took a few mins. to get them put together, Going to rotisserie for the very first time on my 16 inch KK. Just spiced up the ribs with some garlic, pepper and paprika and put them on the rotisserie. 210F - 225F for 3.25 hours. Juicy and perfect bite, actually these were the best tasting ribs I have ever done. Did some stuffed mushrooms while the ribs were cooking. Stuffed with cooked chicken sausage meat, onions, red peppers, cheddar cheese and topped with Parmesan cheese. Baked for 20 mins. at 400F. Dinner is plated. The ribs were easy to take off the OctoForks and a little soak n hot soapy water and good as new. This is how they looked after taking the meat off the forks. They were easy to clean and if there was a lot of stuff stuck I'd put them in the dishwasher. I am really very pleased with this setup and I will get even more use out of the 16 inch KK. I have a couple of videos, can anyone please give me detailed tips on how to attach them?

Just go with the straight up PBW. I'd be a bit cautious of mixing chemicals. I use PBW in my brew room all the time. I've been a staunch advocate on this forum for using it to clean grates and especially the rotisserie basket. Unfortunately, the roti basket is longer than a standard Lowes/Home Depot 5 gallon bucket. But, it's a simple matter to flip it over after a couple of hours and soak the other end. To do grates, folks have been using big tubs used to mix up mortar/cement like these. https://www.lowes.com/pd/MacCourt-Drywall-Mud-Pans/1054711

There ya go. Dennis is discounting this one from Project Smoke Season 3 by $1000 (I think I read that somewhere):

Use whatever rub you are comfortable with, I like my fat cap up for brisket, down for butts. I pull anywhere from 195 to 205. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Yes they'll adjust much easier that way now. If you ever need to get around bones in a piece of meat you can adjust that side to miss it too. They cleaned up good it looks like! Sometimes mine are so baked on they really need some soaking.

I didn't have mine put together quite right and I took another pix showing how they are to do it properly. I didn't have the any bolts in the square holes on the ends. This will lock the forks in solid and also make adjusting a little easier. Some people only read instructions only when all else fails. To adjust them all you need to so is loosen both the bolts a little and slide the fork and tighten again. It is much easier to make adjustments with this setup. I had them like this-

Yep! No wrapping, no nothing. You're looking for roughly 200° internal, but start probing around 195°, but could go 205° or more until done. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I recommend KISS. 50/50 sea salt, coarse black pepper. Cook at 250°, naked, fat cap down, until probe tender. Doesn't get much simpler than that. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Those are personal size Yakatori grills

Don't know just seems pretty cool I'm sure I will grow out of it lol Outback Kamado Bar and Grill

Nice cook Mackenzie. Was that a half rack on each fork? I cleaned mine up using the PBW for the first time. Let them soak in the sink for about an hour and a light touch with the brush had them looking good as new. That stuff is amazing.

Fat man is on the road and should be here next week. Just in time for me to unpack it, move it in place...and then work has me on the road most weekdays through end of April. A little excitement there, but @DennisLinkletter moved some mountains to make sure I get it before end of next week, otherwise would be waiting for two months.
