Hi all,
The new Summit is at 2 weeks. Week 2 was a bit more adventurous.
We tried a whole chicken on the rotisserie. Took a little maneuvering to get the pop up motor and spit lined up. We did a simple recipe of a rub. Got the chicken on the spit and cooked 60 minutes with the two far left and right burners on medium. After 60 minutes I turned on (so I thought) the infrared burner for 20 minutes. Chicken was perfect. I did find that I didn't really get the infrared lit. A little technique to get it working but I missed it. Chicken was still awesome. Next chicken with have crispier skin with infrared actually on!
Practiced up with some basic hot dogs and burgers. I am getting honed in on the sear station and its a big deal. It moves you into a more professional finished meal.
Two weeks in I can say this grill will be an amazing upgrade over my beloved Genesis Platinum Series II. Controlling the heat is a major issue to get right. This grill seems designed to keep even a professional chef (which I am NOT) as well as regular grillers.
More at the month mark. Pork Butt is coming up!
Thanks for looking
