I started with a 5.49 lb whole frozen chicken the day before my cook and after I got it thawed, I trimmed it up a little and then placed it into a one gallon Zip-Lock bag and poured about 12 oz of Wishbone Robusto salad dressing over it and put it back into the fridge for the overnight stay.

On the morning of my cook, the chicken was removed from the marinade and installed in my rotisserie setup for the cook. Nice feature about this setup is that all the prep and setup work can be done in the kitchen and then the whole unit is just carried out and placed on the cooker base when the temperature is where I want it. Anyway, once I got it installed on the spit, I just turned the rotisserie motor on and sprinkled some Smokin’ Guns Hot rub all over my chicken and we were ready for the fire.

I also started my fire in the Cobb using 14 Stubb’s briquets and then added a little hickory for a light smoke.

Was a cold morning at about 25 degrees and we had an overnight dusting of snow as you can see in this picture. Loaded the chicken into the Cobb Grill and turned it loose for the first hour.

My baste or mop for this cook was “The Roadside Chicken Sauce” which is a great baste, marinade, sauce, and overall chicken enhancer that can be found on the web. After the first hour of cooking, I mopped the chicken building up layers of flavor at about every 15-20 minutes until the chicken was done. I had to add a few more briquets during the cook.

Chicken looked good coming off of the cooker.

Cut up the chicken and got it plated.

Plated up my chicken and added some mashed potatoes and gravy, sliced tomatoes, and a roll and had one fine meal.
 
The chicken and plate look excellent! Would love to talk to you some time about that Cobb mod for rotisserie. Love it! :mod:
 
Mr Tish, I have an article on my site on the modifications, parts, and tools needed to convert the Cobb Grill to a rotisserie unit. You can check out the article and see if it will answer your questions and if not, please pm me and we can discuss it. It's a pretty easy job with the right parts and tools that are suitable for stainless steel. You can find the article here:

Good looking chicken and interesting grill, i had to look it up as i had never heard of one before.
 
Did you cover the chicken with a lid or just cook it open air? I have a Jumbo Joe with a rotisserie kit and want to try this. I did one on the Pit barrel using the JJ lid. It was very good but a little smoky.
 
Rotisserie Chicken

Mr, Cibelo,

I do use a cover or lid when using the rotisserie on the Cobb Grill. I couldn't get it up to a suitable temperature without it.

As for the Jumbo Joe, I also keep the lid on this kettle when running the rotisserie in this kettle. As for smoke, I use just a little hickory with my charcoal.

This is how I do the chicken in the Jumbo Joe...I use the two Weber charcoal baskets on each side with a large 5 pound tin foil loaf pan in the middle. Works great.

If you need any help with this cook, you can find it here:
