Pultzar Posted May 23 Report Posted May 23 Hello! I found some older posts referring to a rotisserie splitter that would allow dividing front/back on the 32 (38/42 also?) grills. I can't find this on the website and the link to it no longer works. Has this project been cancelled? Quote
Syzygies Posted May 23 Report Posted May 23 Custom manufacturing has turned being a DIY "maker" on its head. I've personally used SendCutSend, Ponoko, Western 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. Quote
tony b Posted May 23 Report Posted May 23 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! Quote
Grant Hibbs Posted May 25 Report Posted May 25 I bought the 32” Rotisserie charcoal splitter just over a year ago. I have just started using it and once you get the charcoal figured it works very Nice! Here’s the 10lb Pork Belly we split,stuffed and rolled. Then rotisserie for about 4 hrs.
