In spite of warnings against it I ran a 3×2 snake in my kettle and two two pound Cornish hens on the rotisserie. Has to throttle it back as it wanted to go way over 350. Kept it at 325 for the duration. Birds went on at 1410 local and came off at 1630. Taste test very soon but they smell delicious….

Whether you like it or not is what matters most. Cripsy skin is the best part to me and I love a good char but that looks a few steps past.
The left one is somewhat serviceable the one on the right is fuckin burnt my guy. If it taste good fuck it but ur gonna get roasted on here for posting burnt food and being proud
There’s so much to unpack here. A snake shouldn’t go hotter than about 250 F. Did you temp the breasts? They don’t need to go above 160ish F.
You definitely didn’t need to snake poultry. Snake is a low and slow technique for extended duration cooking. For poultry in a rotisserie like this a half chimney piled to one side of the kettle would do it.
Looks fantastic!
Trail and error is the game
There’s gonna be plenty of good bird there, maybe underneath, but plenty of good bird. You learned stuff and had a good time, good cook right there 🙂
It the taste isn’t where you want it, just set em aside and use them as briquettes for your next attempt. /s
Learn and improve, that’s all we can ask for myself included.
Probably still good.
Misbehavin…
Looks great! Left side of righty is burned but breasts will be fine. Maybe thighs too. Who cares about the wing tips. What’s good looks real good. Go lower in temp but don’t shy away from the rub like you did
