@tekobo - Just curious, your dressing recipe - is there an egg yolk in it, too? To make it a mayo, it needs the egg, otherwise it's just a vinaigrette.

No egg yolk.  The similarity to mayo is the fact that it is thickened by the slow addition of oil to the other ingredients.  It makes a nice thick, mayonnaise like sauce.  All this talk makes me want to go and make some!

Finally!  Crispy crackling in my KK. Cooking pork on a rotisserie means you get all round crunch.  Hurrah!

That looks delicious!!!!!!

Ok, since you have a few of them, which one are you most gravitated too? There is a lesser and there is a more, I'd like to know, no hiding the truth now.  It's like squeezin a lemon, you never get all the juice...so give us half a lemon. By the the way, nice pic, where's the crunch? I know , just around the bend.

@tekobo looks good. i've never been successful with producing crackling. skin is  always rock hard and the subdermal layer is all unrendered fat.

Horses for courses @Tyrus.  If I was to only have one KK it would be the 32.  My current plan is to keep the 23 in the split basket configuration to support 2 zone cooking, cooking for 2 and rotisserie cooking.  Will probably change my mind soon but that is half the fun.  The 16 is currently on loan to a friend.

Looks like a good hack that does not require a full blown basket splitter, @Poochie.  What was the cook like? Fewer flare ups?  Crispy skin?

LOVE black garlic. I like it on a baked potato or mashed potatoes with sour cream and butter. 
 

Yes, great stuff.

zero flare ups. And even though the pans were very shallow, the grease from the chickens evaporated from the close proximity of the heat, so they didn't come close to overflowing.  I didn't get crunchy skin but I think I know how next time.

@Poochiei've never cooked more than one whole chicken at a time. looks like the cradle you have can cook four..

[Poochie]

Yep, it can hold 4.

@DennisLinkletter Dennis needs to make those new wingnuts for the basket available as an accessory. I'd buy a 10 pack for my basket 👍

I'll second that! They look VERY user friendly!

[Poochie]

I have both styles and it's no contest...the wing nuts win by a mile

Today was steak day, I’d been a little under the weather the last few days but feeling better today so went and got a nice thick porterhouse 👍

 

cooked at 250 until internal temp got to 110, then rested before searing caveman style.

i have an entire cradle that was made incorrectly for my grill. i have a proper replacement and dont need the wrong cradle in storage. it comes with three clamps with wingnuts. 

[C6Bill]

So you would have 6 wing nuts, unfortunately I’d need 10. But thank you anyways
