Random thought for the day

[rat88]

While thinking about putting the smoke generator on the gas/ charcoal powered UDS. I got to thinking about how everyone hangs meat in the new fangeled redneck cookers, and how rotisseries are claimed to be good for chicken.

I am always looking to up my game and want to improve my chicken. One of the claimed benefits of rotisserie cooking is that the bird is "basting in it's own juices while rotating". I imagine water sloshing around in a tire after reading that, but I am smart enough to know that isnt the case. So here is my question...

Does anyone hang their chickens upsidedown?.. and does it make that big of a difference?

I wonder, is that chefs name Dr Frankinskin!?!

That is one way to do it. Not sure that KSCB judges would call that "bite through skin". Looks like it is damn near pork rinds.
I might have to do some "lab" tests. One right side up, one upside down, and another breast up in the same cooker at the same time to find out.

Well crap that throws another kink in it... should I hang the odd one breast side DOWN? (in a UDS and a good 18" from the heat source and water pan) I dont have room to do 4 at the same time unless I put the breast up/ breast down on the top rack, but that changes the dynamics compared to the hanging chickens... that might be a good test too
