I'm gonna keep testing with using the rebar on top for some cooks because i'm starting to like the way the exhaust spreads out evenly and the convection it creates. I'm also thinking about clips to hold the bars in place from moving or notching the rebar....although so far I haven't come close to knocking them off. I'll post what i come up with.

I bought some cheap 7 inch tent stakes at wallymart for .54/ea. They won't rust, have a pointed end, with a bit of tweaking they turn into some great hooks! Went back to get more, but they have been sold out for a week now. I'll post a photo later when I get some time.

I don't see any meat spinning, I was expecting something else I guess, like the wound up string thing off a tripod.

That string cook was way cool.
Keith will get some more photos added, in a few he does have his rotisserie along with hanging stuff in the same photo. |

...And you're saying that the gap between the top of the smoker body and the lid can serve as both intake and vent, creating a beneficial convection? |

What I've seen so far is that the gap does serve as intake and exhaust once the fire is up and running good. The other day when i cooked the hanging bone in butt I didn't use any bottom intake air for the first 3 hours but i did open the intakes to stoke the initial fire. Started with a way full loaded basket and with over a half partial lit chimney. Yesterday when i did the halved chicken I didn't have as much charcoal in the basket and didn't light as much and i needed some bottom intake air. So basically use the intake air if you need to but you won't need as much from what i'm seeing. It seems like one of the cleanest burns I've gotten doing it this way though.

Here are some pics as you know I'm an avid fan of letting my meat hang. It always cooks nice and uniform along with having amazing flavor and moisture.

The setup with the real wood underneath and being able to grate cook and hang is off the hook...love it. Those sausage hangers sure come in handy! Not that I wasn't sold on it before but I'm more sold on the LSG vertal offset with warmer more than ever.

I'm in talks with my brother trying to see if somehow I can fabricate a roti in the oven. He knows a fabricator or two that may be able to help. We'll see.

I am just not convinced on what the difference between hanging the meat or setting it on a rack could be. Don't get me wrong, the pictures are gorgeous, but who is to say it wouldn't be as good on a rack?

The benefits to me I'll just use examples from my last cooks. The butt I don't think I could have done better/faster without foiling at the high temps i cooked at, It cooked very even also. Grate cooking i would have left more fat cap on and wouldn't have had as much quality bark as I had with hanging because i didn't need that extra fat cap to serve as a heat shield or extra basting. Chicken, baked potatoes, corn from yesterday it was nice to cook all of them not having to worry about flipping the baked potato over or turning the corn and everything was done at the same time in the same cooker using very little charcoal. Grate cooking for that meal in one cooker at the same time would have been more tedious and not sure it would have cooked as evenly. There's cooks where i like to hang something and grate cook others at the same time so it's nice to have that flexibility. Now back to taste. Chicken for an example, sometimes i'd rather spatchcock and sear for a different flavor but other times rotisserie or hang them....All are good but just different. Some say there is extra basting in hanging and that helps with taste...there can be some truth to that but I still think rotisserie is the only true way to get self basting. Foods to me haven't been juicier or necessarily taste better but being able to go higher heat and get even cooking has been the biggest advantage....also more cooking space with less charcoal has been a bonus.

Well for me, the ribs, chuck roast and chops have turned out better than any other smoker/cooker I have owned or used...ever. I still have to experiment with the bird, as I've been doing birds mostly the same way for 30+ yrs and prefer the grate so far, but hanging I didn't not do the higher temp like I do on a grate( I was also doing ribs at the same time. So I will be trying the higher temps hanging.
Here's the tent stake hooks compared to one of my CRS hooks. |
