I am trying to rotisserie some red meat on the grill for the first time. That white thing behind the meat is a gas burner plus there are for gas burners underneath.... what i dont know is how to do it.. do i turn on all burners, side and bottom? Do i use high heat or low? Do i close the lid or leave it open?

My guess is all burners on, highest heat, lid closed.

@freemo
Yeah, all burners, high heat, closed lid. Like a rocket... 🙃 😉 🤣

Well, different cuts of meat (Beef) tend to be cooked differently. The idea behind crockpot and smokers is low and slow over time, and usually the meat just falls apart.

From the looks of that cut I think I would have grilled it, but we don't learn anything by doing the normal shit do we?

But if I were to grill that piece of meat, I'd have it on high heat and try to sear in the juices on the grill.

Typically a rotisserie Cooks at a lower speed, so I don't know.

Honestly i just wanted to test out the rotisserie.. im not really sure how to pick a proper meat for it at all.

@mc @Tay0

@freemo

I used to have one years ago, I cooked boneless turkey roasts and a few Beef roasts on it.

Chicken 🐔 also is Cooked on them around here.

Do you have a meet thermometer?

You always want to make sure you get the center of your cut up to 165° F.

@mc @Tay0

@randynose

With red meat the whole center temperature thing doesnt apply, particularly if you like it rare.. but yea for chicken that is a must

@randynose @freemo @mc @Tay0 thank you!!

Ask away! Please! If I *know* I'll tell you. If it's just an opinion, I'll tell you that. I have owned a #Kamado smoker for 30+yrs

There are now 5 smokers, 3 of them #Kamado. I have *opinions*

Topics: Anything BBQ but remember #WeAreTheWeird and about Replies 😜. But I'm serious about my Q!

Now that #KaybeeQ has found more members of #DiscipleOfTheFlame in all the smoke:

There's two more #CrazyCanuckBBQ in the pipe!

Hello All!

@randynose @freemo @mc @Tay0 and thank you again! Just realised I have the perfect mechanism to separate fact from opinion

All BBQ related will be #CrazyCanuckBBQ
Opinions will also be #KaybeeQ

Thank you! 👍

Now I'll go look at the question...

I just got a Pit Boss smoker about a year ago. Starting to get a feel for it.

@freemo @mc @Tay0

@randynose @freemo @mc @Tay0 is it a pellet or a small offset?

I've never used either but there are a lot of common techniques. I use pellets for cold smoking mainly. If I want to add some smoke to a gas BBQ I use an A-Maze-N flat pellet maze.

The best overview of the selection I found? At #PitBoss 😂

@randynose @freemo @mc I've got the basic idea. The cooking techniques are much the same

You'll find I use a technique called reverse-sear a lot. You cook the protein low'n'slow to pack in the flavour, then finish with an *extremely* hot sear. Pellets just can't do that

But your gas BBQ can. So just fire it up just before you finish the low part of the cook. If you don't do it that way already, I think you'll be impressed

Pellets are *great* for pure low'n'slow

I also mentioned the #PitMasterClub. I logged in and took a screenshot of the result of a search for 'technique'. The entries you see are each individual forum boards where those topics are discussed. Same as Recipes by meat type, etc. It's very extensive
