dstr8 Posted February 10, 2016 Report Posted February 10, 2016 Before graduating to my KK a few years ago I used to roast peppers over my big gas SS bbq. The difference in ease of peeling the charred skin, quickness getting the peppers effectively and completely charred (which retains the firmness of the pepper's flesh) to the "no contest", more in-depth flavor including smokiness without being "smoked", of the roasted and peeled peppers is without compare. However, I'm not telling this gang anything you don't already know Dan
tinyfish Posted February 10, 2016 Report Posted February 10, 2016 Love roasted peppers. Do you let them sit in a covered pot to steam for a few minutes after charring, it makes it the peppers even easier to peel.
dstr8 Posted February 10, 2016 Author Report Posted February 10, 2016 ^ yes. As soon as they come of the grill they go into a soup type pot and lidded until cool enough to handle...or even completely to room temp as they don't suffer from waiting for me to get around to peeling
DennisLinkletter Posted February 10, 2016 Report Posted February 10, 2016 I just throw them down directly on the coals.. They blacken up fastest there. And if I'm in a hurry I'll run them under cold water in the sink to peel them.
tony b Posted February 10, 2016 Report Posted February 10, 2016 Anyone ever try using the rotisserie basket as a chile roaster?
dstr8 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Posted February 11, 2016 ^ yes. However I prefer the overall results of the more direct heat, and simpler, ala right above or on the coals as Dennis mentioned. And no clean up...
tony b Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 I was thinking "lazy man's way" of doing it, so you didn't have to watch over them and flip them periodically.
ckreef Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 I was thinking "lazy man's way" of doing it, so you didn't have to watch over them and flip them periodically.This is where a fully enclosed aftermarket basket on a KK straight rotisserie rod would come in handy.

dstr8 Posted February 12, 2016 Author Report Posted February 12, 2016 ^ FWIW I am using the One Grill Roti basket system and really like it.
tony b Posted February 12, 2016 Report Posted February 12, 2016 ^ FWIW I am using the One Grill Roti basket system and really like it. What motor bracket, drive rod and support rod are you using? I might try the flat basket.
dstr8 Posted February 13, 2016 Author Report Posted February 13, 2016 Tony, Everything came from One Grill except the drive rod adapter that Dennis supplied. Brian at One Grill is who I worked with... http://komodokamadoforum.com/topic/4662-rotisserie/#entry44018
ckreef Posted February 13, 2016 Report Posted February 13, 2016 ^ FWIW I am using the One Grill Roti basket system and really like it.Are you using the 32" x 1/2" hexagon kit? Then use the KK motor mount and KK motor adapter. I understand you could cut the rod to the correct length. On the left side did you take a grinder to it to make it round? My right side needs hexagon but my left side needs round. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
dstr8 Posted February 13, 2016 Author Report Posted February 13, 2016 CK, the One Grill system I am using does not utilize a straight through skewer but rather two short sections on either side of the basket assembly. The "code" that is on my order confirmation from Brian at One Grill is: 5PB814 This included the OneGrill 8" Performer Stainless Basket System, Motor Side Drive Rod support rod (10" 5PDR-10) and 10" Support Rod Handle End (5PR-10). The motor bracket comes from Dennis. I also purchased a 110v motor from One Grill however I can't find a receipt/invoice so I can't provide the model # for you; recommend calling Brian at One Grill. FWIW and I believe the newer grills are a little different in that I had to shim the motor bracket considerably to get it to be square to the skewer transfer socket on the KK. It wasn't a big deal but I do remember needing to be creative to get the entire assembly all in one plane. Here is a Dropbox link to a couple videos I made after I installed the One Grill system...frog shoes and all https://www.dropbox.com/sh/m0lzulqdxj37s0y/AAAtEwLyXu-aJIHz-NwMlOPca?dl=0
