twharton Posted January 3, 2007 Report Posted January 3, 2007 My first twirly cook yesterday. Two 4lb chickens brined in 2 gallons (1g apple cider and 1g water) + 1.5 c salt and 1.5 c sugar. Cooked exactly 2 hours @ 325. The juiciest thing I've ever put in my mouth. Thanks Dennis!
Curly Posted January 3, 2007 Report Posted January 3, 2007 Um-ummm...can't wait to get a rotis. To close to Christmas for another present, but the bday is in June....anybody listening
ThreeDJ16 Posted January 3, 2007 Report Posted January 3, 2007 OMG those look good! I cannot wait to be able to cook those thing! Jeez you are making me sooo jealous. Just curious, have any of you ever tried that Cajun Magic BBQ flavor season? Looks like it would be good in this cooking setup! -=Jasen=-
PaulR Posted January 3, 2007 Report Posted January 3, 2007 What size rotisserie is that? 6 or 8? Was the skin as crsipy as it looks??? Hmmm 325 for 2 hours? I do 1 chook at around 300 for 90 minutes; we must have smaller poultry? Great photos! Paul
Farmer John Posted January 3, 2007 Report Posted January 3, 2007 So who did you get the ezq inserts from? I am waiting to order the motor and basket until I can get what ever it is I need from Dennis/Tony? What size basket did you order? John
twharton Posted January 3, 2007 Author Report Posted January 3, 2007 Basket Size I got the 8 in basket. The inserts came from Dennis...the folks at EZ-Q were a great help. I paid $150 for the basket, 4 holders and the motor. I usually cook for 90 minutes but lowered the temp and increased. The skin was juicy when fresh off. These chickens were unbelievably succulent and brining with the apple juice gave a nice sweet flavor. I have never been a white meat fan. Too dry for my taste but these birds were juicy juicy and I am a white meat fan now. After the cooled the skin was a little rubbery.
Curly Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 Re: Basket Size ...These chickens were unbelievably succulent... You can get that with the KK on a chicken without the rotis Though I still want a rotis
DavidS Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 Looks great. I have not got to try mine yet. Waiting on the shafts from Dennis. Hope it will not be much longer.
cdtbud Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 Waiting on the shafts from Dennis. Hope it will not be much longer. If you want the shaft you have the wrong K manufacturer......
DavidS Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 I have the parts from E-Z Que. The shafts I received from Dennis would not work in my OTB. I have had the other cooker . Now I am a HAPPY CAMPER.
Curly Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 I have the parts from E-Z Que. The shafts I received from Dennis would not work in my OTB. I have had the other cooker . Now I am a HAPPY CAMPER. OK, what did you just say? We need to get all of the parts from EZQ or what?
DavidS Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 No you buy the cradle and motor from E-Z Que and the shafts from Dennis and Tony ship's the the shafts to you. The shafts I received from Tony would not work, one was to long and the other to short. I am waiting on the replacements. Sorry for any confusion.
tcoliver Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 David, you may want to touch base with Dennis, I have not shipped any shafts out lately, not sure if I even have the ones you need but if I do I will send them out if Dennis sends me the info.
Zorro Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 I am also waiting on the EZ-Que shafts from Dennis. My OTB got to Colorado in perfect shape but I didn't get the gas accessory nor the shafts. I can't use it anyway because I have a foot of ice where I plan to put the cooker but do I hope I hear something soon because they just installed the heat tape and gutters that will keep the ice from building up leave only snow to deal with. It won't take long to get rid of the ice and I'll be ready to start cooking pretty quick. Zorro
