a buddy gave me some leftover grill racks from rigs he's gotten rid of
one was almost a perfect fit for my vintage CB charcoal grill
all I had to do was trim it at one end
sanded & brushed on the rusty spots
fired up the grill
& mopped on some vegetable oil to season the grill

You're having a good time resurrecting this old grill aren't you? :)

I'm enjoying watching!

Gotcha Captain. The Portable Kitchen was designed primarily for briquettes. Lump might be too hot with the way that aluminum holds the heat...just sayin.............my neighbor has a PK and she only burns Kingsford in hers. She uses lump in her UDS.......

experimental cook #2
I had a scrap piece of stainless
I riveted a couple of hanger brackets on it
it became the new "heat shield"
still using up the oak lump charcoal
I really like how the chicken is responding to the indirect heat



finish pics coming

Ok, I've gotta ask, what kind of chicken is that? I don't see any legs and it looks like its wearing a long dress.  Or is it just the angle of the camera shot?

..well.....
the pics make it look sexy
but don't be fooled
it had a great charcoal smokey flavor
but the skin was chewy
and the meat was tough and dry
i should have brined the bird..
but...
not even in the same league as a bird in the SRG !!

It looks like a case of nostalgia vs technology Jack......But maybe brining - and a water pan for some moisture will help :)

it didn't lack for moisture
it was sitting in it's own rendered fat  :'(

the beauty of the SRG is all the fat runs off into the grease trap
and infrared is truly superior for poultry
nothin' like that crisp skin
