smaller than the cut of meat on the cooking grids or flame tamer surface under the meat
being cooked. This will allow you to catch meat juices for making gravy.
Flare-Ups:
The fats and juices that drip from the meat cause flare-ups. Since flare-ups
impart the distinctive taste and color for food cooked over an open flame, they should
be expected and encouraged within reason. Nevertheless, uncontrolled flaring can
result in a ruined meal. To control excessive flare-ups caused by too high a heat setting,
turn the heat control knob to a lower setting.
ROTISSERIE
COOKING
Rotisserie is mostly used to cook large pieces of meat and poultry to assure slow, even
cooking. The constant turning provides a self-basting action, making food cooked on a
rotisserie exceptionally moist and juicy. Rotisserie cooking generally requires 1 1⁄2 to
41⁄2 hrs to cook depending on the size and type of meat being cooked. You can have
rotisserie cooking with indirect heat as shown or with infrared rotisserie burner.
For successful rotisserie, the meat should be centered and balanced as evenly
as possible on the spit rod to avoid overworking the rotisserie motor (see rotisserie kit
assembly shown below).
Since indirect heat is often used in cooking on a rotisserie, a foil or aluminum
drip pan is advisable to prevent excessive flare-ups. Generally, the cooking
grates are removed to allow for the swing of the rotisserie. A basting pan is
placed under the rotisserie area on top of the flame tamer(s) to catch the drippings.
