Cracker bites cook test. The goal was to figure out the optimum configuration and temperature to cook Cracker bites so the cheese melts without the Cracker crust cooking further. This has nothing to do with what was the actual toppings other than the cheese. In both tries the pizza stone was up in the dome on a custom riser. First try. Heat soaked at 500* with cold pizza stone. Somewhat of a failure as they had to stay on to long to melt the cheese. This caused the pizza stone to heat up and burn some of the Cracker crust. Second try. Heat soaked at 600* with cold pizza stone. This is the winning combination. Cheese melted fast enough so the Cracker crust did not cook any further beyond the original parbake. Later in the week I'll tie that into a flavor profile test before I make my final cook. CC and tinyfish - you 2 need to ignore all this - LOL - and these tests won't be posted on the Guru.

Got this idea from a recent KJ video. Italian Stuffed meatloaf via beer can.

This attachment is definitely on the Christmas list. It may have to be pre christmas so I can do a rotisserie turkey. Is the splitter really worth it? So far I have used the stone for indirect and otherwise used direct for everything other than low and slow. Have you done this cook without the splitter for a direct compare?

Hey Wilburpan! Where you been, buddy?? Missed your awesome cooks - glad to have you post again!!

Finally a use for Budweiser!

This is without a doubt a Top 10 post. Keep those pictures coming!

Wilburpan, thanks for that writeup. I really enjoyed it and found it very helpful. My motor is on the way to me and I'll likely get it before my KK. Cooking a chicken using the rotisserie is something that I am very excited about doing. Your cook looks fantastic. It makes my mouth water. The plated pix sure looks tasty.

Wiburpan what a delicious cook. That chicken looks perfect. I can't wait to try my cradle out for the first time.

The end plates of the rotisserie need to clear the side walls front and rear and on the 16" by the time you clear the walls left and right there is little space left for the cradle.

Totally awesome cook. I'm very jealous. The biggest issue with a 16.5" is it doesn't have a small rotisserie option - bummer. Me and Mrs skreef have been talking lately about the new outdoor Bistro building and future grills. Although I have 3 more grills needed none of those will be a KK so I'm stuck without a rotisserie option as I plan on trading my large Akorn for a Primo oval Jr with travel cradle. I'll probably give Mrs skreef Prometheus to use as a kamado oven and I'll latch onto the oval Jr.

Congrats and thank you for posting these pics...I can show my wife that I'm not the only person that thinks 4 or 5 BBQs is 'normal.'
