Hi Brian.  I liked the rotisserie method because it looks great and you get a crisper finish when you slice the meat onto the pan below.  That said, the vertical method is sooo simple and fuss free that it is a winner for me.  I also think that the vertical method can work well in a 32 set up for two zone cooking. Cook slow on the "cool" zone and then move to the hot zone when you want to slice and give your meat a crisp edge.  You are of course limited by the height of your spike in the vertical method while stacking a rotisserie on a 32 would feed a crowd and would look super impressive.  

Not sure if you guys saw but that’s what I did on my 42. Here is a picture. I am going to try rotisserie once I get the motor.

I think the rotisserie should be more fun.

@Buzilo that looks great. What’s in the top rack?

@tekoboi think you should be able to achieve the same level of crispiness whether it’s rotisserie or vertical. It’s just a function of fine and temperature right? When I did rotisserie I usually did it at 425, I think I did one around 400. when I’ve done vertical I’ve been in the 375 range. It’s taken longer to crisp but looking back on my photos I don’t see a difference, but I’ve been using the double drip pan on the lower grate to block out the flames and try to force the heat to the top where the vertical meat stand is. It seems to have worked. I need to do the next vertical temp at a higher temp. I also found that allowing my meat slices to cook on the bottom  tray worked really really well when I used the double drip pan to block the heat see pics below from most recent cook

It is but trying to slice that thing at 425 while the lid is open over an open flame and you’re slicing directly into a foil tray that’s sitting on top of hot coals gets hot and a bit dicey to be honest. Be careful

The other thing is a desert, dough is made out of almond flour and egg (low carb) inside cream cheese and peanut butter. 
 

I hear you on the rotisserie.  I think I would take it out to shave the chicken.  Specially in the summer if we’re eating outside, shave some off, and throw it back for more

I’m gonna look for a warming drawer to keep the warm meat while the rest cooks.

Thoughts? I’m thinking to keep the crispy chicken warm while the rest cooks

I have more nerve than good sense to post this miserable cook after the above.

Chorizo sausage and fries.

Simplicity is good. It certainly look appetizing.

I’d happily eat anything you serve @MacKenzie

@Tony B and Jon J

I thought that was a requirement for this kind of hobby. Safety first, drinks second, food third.

Nah, it's food first,  drinks a close 2nd and safety maybe?? LOL

[Troble]

@tony b I’m in full agreement with your ranking system

16oz ribeye, dry aged for 32 days, roasted with mesquite and reverse seared. I used a small MSR smoke pot for the mesquite (I'll use the bigger MSR for long cooks - the small one would probably be sufficient for those too but i have to justify having both!).

Storms were rolling thru the area so i rushed the roasting part of the cook and didn't get as much mesquite flavor as i had hoped. Also planned on grilling the veggies as well but did them in the vermicular kamado due to the storms.

I never get tired of seeing prime brisket on my KK. I’m using a dry coffee cardamom rub.
