smoked/roasted chicken

[Reggie's Ribs]

I am new to this forum but thought I would share this interesting photo. I put a double spit in front of my outdoor fireplace and roasted and smoked these birds. I used maple in the fire box and cooked for 1 1/2 hrs amazingly moist and flavorful

"Killa" hope you had a crowd to enjoy them with there certainly is enough. Good job Sir.

Greetings from Boston. That's a great setup man!

Great setup! Waiting for Ahumadora to chime in as this is right up his ally.

2 Problems I detected straight away. 1./ No beer in the photo 2./ I wasn't invited... Ingenious set up!!! Maybe a drip pan underneath for future cooks.

You da man, tasty chicken,

Welcome to the PIT! Awesome ingenuity. I recently discovered the generic rotisseries on Amazon and practically can't sleep now, thinking about the possibilities.

Santa Maria cooks are above the fire. There's a specific name for vertical cooks next to the fire, isn't there PIT? ( Ahumadora ?)

I know I've seen this recently...

[Ahumadora]

"Asado" The metal rack that you hang the ribs or lamb on is called the "El asador". Asado means bbq .. The surrounding fireplace or pit is called "fogon"

[JGo37]

Ahumadora I may be thinking of asador. I believe I saw legs of lamb hanging next to a fire, about a foot away. They had to be rotated manually. The narrative mentioning the asador sounds right. They were hanging vertically, not horizontally. 'Hanging' being the method.

I love the set up! That is some fine looking color on those yard birds! I may have to look into this spinner thing!

[scottranda]

Fantastic! Where did you find the rotisserie motor?

Welcome to The Pit from Minnesota. Nice set up and chickens.

[HawkerXP]

I wonder if the wife would let me do this in the family room fireplace?

[Ahumadora]

Yep, Quite common in the middle of winter to have a small parrilla in front of the fire cooking the family dinner while heating the house.
