[shayneh2006]

I think i am addicted to Weber Kettles

I saw this 1997 57cm One Touch Gold on Gumtree today for $25.00 ,,,,,and i just could not resist it .

So i picked it up on the way home from work and when i got there, i was in for a pleasant supprise. There was a few more bits that he didnt mention in the add. With it was one of those elusive dropin racks for the CI grate And,, a CI half Moon Skillet.

There was also 2 charcoal baskets full of old HB's




Pretty good condition really as there is bugger all rust around the handle bases.



Good buy for the Rottiserie settup


And my Old Cherry Bomb is out the door

I am going to put it on the Bay and get what i can for it (which will be bugger all in its condition )






For $25 bucks, not a bad replacement

Heh Shayne

What temp did you take the "pillow" to so that it pulled nicely

How was the flavour, BLAND looks like it could have done with a little more rub

How well does the roti ring fit in the kettle? Does it fit better in the OTG than the performer? Thinking about getting one soon but i noticed your not using it in your performer

[food&fish]

Doesent the cloth rag give the meat a funny taste

Same, same but different

I actually had to pull one of the lid holder retaining nuts, then give the nut a grind on one side so the Rott ring would seat down properly

i noticed your not using it in your performer

No,,,. Each of my rigs have each their own purpose,,, to make life easy for me.

The Blue US Performer- Smoking things mainly. The Snake method is its thing.
The Black Aus Performer- It just GRILLS only
The rott setup- Self explanatory
The GA and SJ- Small cooks and if i feel like just BBQing something for myself only(one serve)
The Genisis Silver- Pizza



Todays effort,,,,,,


Here is my wire rack clamp thingy after a major alteration. I had to hacksaw off the long handles in order for it to fit in the kettle as well as being able to turn on the Rottiserie. You will see in pic #4 where the handles were removed




And my birds after a 24 hr long marinade in Paste. Not my Peruvian Rottiserie Chicken recipe but stolen with gratatude



On the Kettle and ready to go





This was about 30 mins in and the fat dripping on the Charcoal was just starting to creat some nice smoke.




Time to check and was happy to see the chooks coming along nicely




And just about ready to come off







This was a killer recipe and the way i did it in the Rack thing on the Rott was a full sucsess. Just goes to show there are plenty of ways to skin a cat

You sure are getting a good deal on a few of these Webers.

Are you a Weber magnet?

Here is the new rig all settup

An electric powered Kettle?

I actually had to pull one of the lid holder retaining nuts, then give the nut a grind on one side so the Rott ring would seat down properly

The reason i was asking about the fit of the Roti on the kettle was because i'm thinking about getting the Ribolator and was wondering if i'd be able to control low temps using the Roti with the Ribolator if there is a gap where the roti sits on the kettle. I understand it makes no difference with high heat roasting but if i want to cook ribs for 6hrs at a temp of 250F. Would this be possible?

Mmmmmm, and as i have said plenty of times here,,,"there is plenty of ways to skin a cat"


In regards to your question hogsy,, yes, there is a gap between the ring and the bowl of the kettle znd as you said, or high heat roasting it creats non concern. If on the other hand i wanted to do a low n slow with it, yeh, you would probably need to seal the gaps with some fireplace gasket or the like. That said, you could also just try shutting the top vent to 100%, then play with the bottom ones to compensate the draw back from the Rott pentertation and the gap as said above.

I would just get one anyway (The rottiserie) cause you will never look back in regards to roasting!!!!


Here is what i did on mine tonight






And when you get it,,,, use your deflecter
