Most of the charcoal in the first couple of shots are left over from my calzone cook last weekend, just a little fresh charcoal to get it started and then I added some new fuel when I flipped the grill for the rotisserie.....not bad considering I was grilling for about 7 hours today.

Damn that all looks tasty, how do you like the Smokenator OTP ? I've had mine for about 5 months now and I use it at least 3 to 1 over
any other method at the moment.

I really like it. I have used it about six times since I have had it and half of those I used it like I did yesterday, as a heat shield . When I use my rotisserie I try to go medium and slow....about 300 degrees so it worked great for that. I will be doing up some ribs with it today and really like the extra room on the grill it gives me.

I basically give up the flip on my cooking grate over the Smokenator to a disposable 1 pound aluminum loaf pan and fill that with hot water that way I can get more charcoal in the Smokenator and a bit longer cook time between a water/charcoal check.
Here is a shot of a brisket I did back in January that shows my layout.

1 Jar of grape jelly , 1 bottle of chili sauce and 1 heaping tablespoon of spicy mustard...in the picture it has not "Melted together " yet to create a BBQ sauce that is in a word.."GREAT!".

What I mean by " Flip the grill" is that I had to clean and reset the grill setup while there were still hot coals in it. I had to move the remaining charcoal around and remove the grate and set up the smokenator and setup the rotisserie. I use the smokenator like you do but for the pork loin I wanted indirect heat but wanted it to be shielded somewhat because there are so many air leaks when using a rotisserie.
