Hope all the mothers had a great day today! Spun a rack of pork today along with some grilled burgers and spiral beef hotdogs. Wood fire and hamburgers is such a good blend! Sorry no finished burgers and dogs but picture those juicy red from the smoke ring grilled kind.. I love those red hamburgers. The pork was sooo juicy and tasty! Used Mulberry on this cook. Yum For roasts, rib roasts etc.... I like running the spit through the short way of the roast so when you slice you don't have the hole go through the middle so makes for a better presentation for your guest.

That's totally awesome Dennis!

Dennis the ones I have don't do that but they're most definitely not as quiet as the corded. Never heard the whining sound so far though. I'll shoot a short video the next time I use it....I'll want some load on it though. Maybe I'll spin a couple of yard birds or something

It's a good motor. They're rated @ 25 lbs. They're not as quiet as the corded but definitely nothing wrong with it and the batteries last quite while. If you want to run a cord to it you can with an AC adapter. https://octoforks.com/product/onegrill-chrome-cordless-battery-operated-grill-rotisserie-motor-w-ac-adapter/

I've seen videos of the flashback...Yikes! Anyways conduction heat from the grill grate does wonders for spatchcocks. I start skin side up and then flip down mid way. I love seeing the "bowl" fill up with delicious juices

Thanks Mackenzie!

Hatch Chile Sausage Pocket Sammies for dinner. Knockin out the fat...George Foreman ain't got nothin Used OctoForks "OctoSkewers" (coming soon) to spin and served with pocket sammies with sauteed bells, onions and siracha mustard. Yum! I was only cooking using 5 but you could do "quad" and multiple plus extended setups etc...and spin a boatload of skewers. It's mind blowing how many a 32 or 42" could handle!

Season with whatever you like but for cooking I like hot (350-450) but most important flip to skin side down at some point...maybe half way to get some nice crispy tasty skin. Seasoning salt pepper garlic is still my favorite but lots more combos than that. Dry brining with some kosher salt does wonders.

Good I'm glad that will help you.

Yes I don't think you can do better than salt pepper garlic. If you haven't cooked a TT or don't know ...This is the most important thing with tri tips

Yep it's centimeters Paul. The price ranges of cutting whether it's carbon, fiber optic laser or water jet is INSANE. You can get estimates of the same exact work with the same type of cutter be thousands of dollars difference. Overhead in the shops are the biggy in addition to the equipment they're trying to pay off. Still a rule of thumb is the faster the cutting the lower the cost "should" be.

Yes and if you know what "slag" is there is going to be none of that ...which is very nice! Nice clean cuts.

By the CM lol ... WOW. It's like some of these companies don't think you'll compare costs. The price ranges on estimates that I've gotten have been INSANE but I know you know how that is. Water Jet is definitely more pricey than laser but never heard of a company charging like that....craziness It'll solve the warping issue though for sure.

Water jet is the answer. Use the material you want...If you want SS then us SS.

All looks great!

Dennis water jet is a tad more expensive but not as much heat. If you like that design then i'd try going that route.

Thanks Steve. There's lots of possibilities. My motto for this system is you're only limited by your own imagination! I love seeing ways people are finding to use theirs.

Thanks Paul it's a fun setup to play with! Very versatile for sure

Some of you wanted to see the upcoming spit rods in action. This is using them to rotisserie 2 flat baskets. What's real nice is you can balance the baskets by moving them closer or away from the center spit rod. Also cooking some corn and baked potatoes. The potatoes really get some nice crispy skin cooking like this! YUM

Dennis has a specialty spit rod to fit inside the KK's.

Your cooks look soooo good! Absolutely amazing meal Mackenzie!

I carry the 50 lb corded on my website. They're better geared, and definitely solid motors...it's all in the gearing. Motors definitely aren't created equal. Baskets? Yes the flat baskets can come in handy for lots of things it's hard to put on the spit forks.

I gotta get a digital scale. I'll need one anyway for making cured meats.

Making my own dough is out of my comfort zone. lol I should try though. Maybe Mackenzie ships!

I'm in love with that pie!!! lol Seriously I just ate and I'd still tear it up.
