(Part 2) Best grilling cookware & rotisseries according to redditors

Amazon, well worth it.

The Culinary Junction 76444 Jalapeno Roaster & Chicken Leg Roaster with Corer for Grill or Smoker https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073ZKL39T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_el50Ab5VNV3WG

For sure! This is the cake cooler I use. I got pretty lucky, it's nice and high so it sits well over the element and has the handle to easily take it on/off. It looks like you can actually find them branded as Roti grills on Amazon. Works great! Found mine at a sketchy dollar store for a few bucks and it really helps get enough heat to puff it up nicely.

I believe this is the one they have. Powered by two D batteries.

I'm assuming you want the convEGGtor so you can smoke the turkey rather than roast? In that case you could try to macgyver the situation with a big ol' pizza stone. Wouldn't be perfect; but if you put a roasting rack on top of the pizza stone that's sitting on your egg grate, you're creating something similar to the convEGGtor

You wanted the Kamado Joe, otherwise you wouldn't have bought it in the first place... now you have it for free and you can put some of what you saved on the price of the grill (plus the $150 credit Amazon gave you) toward the table and some sweet accessories, such as:

Flame Boss

Joetisserie

Grill Light

Kick Ash Basket

Cover

Grill Expander

King Kooker 12-Wing Rack

I've always used fish grills. I find them a little more versatile. They work on a campground fire pit by just laying them across the top and they work on a backcountry fire by propping them up on a rock and laying another rock on the handle. They can be used for just about any type of food. They can be stuffed under the compression straps on a backpack. They eliminate the need for utensils for flipping food and most importantly they trap the food between two grills ensuring you never sacrifice your dinner to the fire gods. Here is a link to one similar to the ones I use: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07RWQY3L8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_FyKODbYVHC5EE

For those interested, here's a pic of the inside.

Here's a list of my mods.

• Grommet on the side for probe access: So handy! The most useful mod. I used this titanium drill bit to create a hole large enough. It took me about an hour of sweating my butt off with the drill to make the hole. I feel like this mod is a must because if you use any kind of probe this will be a lifesaver. Constantly closing and opening the lid of the smoker with the wire in the way will eventually damage the wire. With this grommet bypassing the door entirely, you don't risk damaging the wire anytime you open or close the lid. If your hand slips when opening the lid and the lid slams down, it can CUT the probe wire! Lifesaver indeed.
  
• Lavalock Thermometers x2: I bought two of these for both sides. Tested them for accuracy with boiling water and they work pretty great.
  
• Lavalock Gaskets: I used these to seal the lid of the main chamber. It helps create a seal for lower smoke leakage.
  
• Clamps: These make 100% sure you are airtight when smoking. When used together with the gaskets, I get virtually no leakage from the main chamber. One annoying thing though is that the clamp installed on the side of the fire chamber can get in the way of you opening and closing the fire chamber lid. But, overall I'm happy with them, especially for longer cooks.
  
• High Temp Silicone Caulk: This is a MUST. The areas around the smoke chamber leak smoke SO MUCH. I've used it to seal around every nook and cranny of the fire chamber and it's done wonders.
  
• Water pan: Not sure if this counts as a mod, but it's just a simple steel water pan.
  
• Oklahoma Joe Firebox Basket: The reverse flow smoker came included with this. I think the regular Highland Smoker does not have it. In my opinion, it is extremely helpful in maintaining heat throughout your cook and makes the temperature fluctuate less.

I saw it as "for the single task of roasting food over flame". and all that I'm saying is I could use another tool to accomplish the same task that I didn't have to pay $70.00 for, such as this basket here that does the same thing but it's only $40. https://www.amazon.com/onlyfire-Universal-Rotisserie-Peanut-French/dp/B07BWBS3DQ/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1550811129&sr=8-19&keywords=grill+food+over+fire+basket

I’ve just recently been toying with the idea of snagging an old grill someone is throwing out. Filling it with some concrete and fire brick on top to create a deck and then using this : Skyflame Universal Stainless Steel Pizza Oven Kit with Stone for Most Gas Grills and Pellet Grill, 22x15 Inches https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078LSSZ13/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_BPdADbJB0B1T8

To place on top. Then I can use it with some wood and have one of these overpriced “portable” pizza ovens.

Looks like this one: onlyfire Universal Octagonal Tumble & Flat Basket Rotisserie Grill Spit Rod Basket Fits for Any Grill https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CWNQ3RC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_XYeYDbACNQ3Q0

This also exists as a heat deflector

I'm doing nearly the exact same thing right now.


I went with the longer drum: https://www.amazon.com/MiguCo-Stainless-Peanut-Rotisserie-Roaster/dp/B074FQS2S3


And I have bought a charcoal bbq as an enclosure: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Char-Griller-250-sq-inch-Table-Top-Charcoal-Grill-and-Smoker-Black-E72424/341352603


Home depot has a 5/8" threaded rod that I picked up for $1.18 and I got it thru there with a smidgen of work with the dremmel.


It's looking pretty good so far. I picked up an old drill at goodwill for $6 and am going to heat it with a heat gun I have lying around.

It’s similar to this amazon link .
I bought mine from Home Depot a few years ago.

Kabob rotisserie rack

Lots of information on this thread already. I cook pizzas pretty regularly and have no problem getting the Joe up to 800* although its not necessary. 650* is plenty.

What I think is the biggest problem for most people wanting to get high temps is the Fire Grate. The fire grate is that cast iron plate that sits in the bottom of the fire box with all of the round holes in it. Those holes get blocked by charcoal and will not let enough air in. So, your options are adding larger chunks in first then smaller pieces on top of that. It's quite a process and messy. OR! Get on Amazon or go to your local grill store and get a KICK ASH BASKET. Once you do that you can your old fire grate in the trash, seriously, once I got my basket I haven't used the fire grate once.

By the way the KICK ASH BASKET (KAB) goes for around $100. I found a "knock off" version on Amazon for 1/3 of the price.

Stanbroil Stainless Steel Casting Griddle for Weber Go Anywhere Grills https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0791YDCKD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_hPbWBb514K9YC

Just a former dishie and not endorsing this particular product, but you want a vertical rotisserie grill similar to this one or this one. Has the added advantage that you can also use for doener and shwarma.

(Have one that works great and that was only 30 EUR through amazon.de, but I cannot find it on amazon.com)
