Title: Kabobs On Pit Barrel ?
Post by: ChrisD46 on October 17, 2015, 05:58:10 AM
Using the rack - anyone tried kabobs on their Pit Barrel ?
Just curious if results would be good for kabobs - or would a Weber Kettle be the better play  ?

Haven't tried them yet, but the only way to know is to go ahead and do them there. Just sayin....

Only problem I can see is flare ups when you have the lid off to turn the bobs. Maybe you can get the coal basket up higher so you can use less briqs??

Somewhere I saw someone raise the charcoal basket up....And grill in the PBC. Seemed like a cheap - fast way to get more out of one cooker.

I remember someone hung the kabobs on the hooks and had bent the ends of the kabobs so nothing would slip off into the coals.

I know I,m a newbie, but I thought I would share beef kabobs on the PBC along with some modifications that I made to the PBC,  I hope you enjoy!

I make kabobs fairly frequently and have learned the hard way that the stuff you put on them cooks strangely if you put it on the skewer and do it all at once.  My technique is to get the parts ready, then grill them separately to the doneness level I want them to be.  I keep a "cool" area of the grill where I move the done bits to stay warm while I'm finishing the rest.  Once I have the parts cooked to my satisfaction I use tongs and assemble the kabob, placing it back over the hot area just quickly enough to make certain everything is hot for service.  This is a long way of answering your question.  I'd go with the Weber since you have better access to the grates.

There is also an accessory for the Big Easy SRG that has 8 vertical rods for the kabobs and and a center vertical rod with an eye hook on the end you can either put it through one of the PBC,s rods or use the center hanger from the PBC ,s turkey hanger accessory.  Tried this Wednesday night and it worked great.
Sorry no pics.. :)
