Rotisserie Splitter?

Recommended Posts

Custom manufacturing has turned being a DIY "maker" on its head. I've personally used SendCutSendPonokoWestern Dovetail. My master woodworker neighbor hasn't made a drawer for clients in years; why do! My Venetian Bigolaro came with a handle that couldn't take the stresses of more restrictive pasta dies, so I made my own handle. Same for stainless steel spacers for my Orange-X juicer, or to better seal the interface between our kitchen faucet and sink...

My 23" basket splitter is just a couple pieces of flat metal that fit together same logic as some cardboard boxes. I could upload a picture. Me, I'd mock one up in plywood, just don't light it. Be aware that most metals don't belong in a food cooker, so don't improvise: Galvanized metal in particular offgases toxins.

There are always metal working shops in town, too. Get a quote. They could be half the price of buying a pizza steel from Baking Steel, at the expense of hours of prep. They were twice the price for my bigolaro handle.

Our KK community is experimental, and Dennis has perfected various community good ideas once they get traction.

The charcoal basket on the 23" is round, so with the basket splitter in place, you can rotate it any direction you want. Unfortunately, the larger KKs are more oval and not so flexible. I recall Dennis working on a front/back splitter for the more oval baskets, but I don't know if it ever hit the market? I recall some members "gerry-rigging" a splitter for this purpose. Good luck!
