When old meets new

[vwengguy]

First run with my rotisserie kit with a chicken on my MBH '78 Weathered Warrior.
This time with my roti I'm trying something totally different than what I normally do. 99.99% of my roti cooks are indirect and this time I figured why not try direct for a crispy skin.
15 mins in and it looks like the start of crispy !

I think I need to bite the bullet and get a rotisserie. That chicken looks good!

Oh... get me some Kleenex ... that chicken, as small as it was , was one of the best chickens I have ever made !!! And I have made a LOT of chickens on my rotisserie !
The skin was Crispy like bacon and not burnt ( I was a scared of that ) but had a taste kind of like pork rind / bacon! Oh I have to work more with this !!
Did I say it was good ? Yeah ! Do it, try it!
Now for important stuff, I used 1 Full chimney of coals.. next time I think I will use less. I had to close 2 of the bottom vents to keep my chicken from cremation burnt . The old girl was smoking hot when I put the bird in the grill! That helped bring the temp down but still give a crispy skin. No thermometer but I'm sure it was pushing 500 when chicky went on.
Also.. easy clean up because I did not use a drip pan :-)
And chicken smoke from the drippings on the hot coals!
I guess your never to old to learn something new! Try before you die, worst you can do is ruin a chicken.
