Okay, I finally got a chance to break the roti in right. I did a few chickens and a whole pineapple, with sweet potato fries underneath. I didn't use enough charcoal for the cold conditions and it took over an hour and half to cook. I finally had to bring the charcoal baskets underneath the chickens to speed things up. Finished the fries in the oven broiler. This was one of the meals when everything turned out ugly but so tasty we could hardly even stand it!!
BTW - This Cajun Bandit roti is an awesome piece of equipment. That thing seals up TIGHT. The only smoke that was escaping was the vent and a tiny bit from each side where the spit fits. (Also known as a spit hole
) You can't tell that from this photo because the smoke had settled back down around the grill when I snapped the pic.
