Hey all! I’m the moderator over at [email protected]. Just started BBQing not long ago.

I used Kenji López-Alt’s recipe, but did it in my BGE and smoked it a bit. Here’s the final product:

When I do this again, I would make two adjustments. One is that I’ll cook it to an internal temp of 175F to make it more tender (Kenji’s recipe called for 165 which I feel is too low). The other adjustment l’ll make is to crisp/puff up the skin a different way. It was too difficult to crisp evenly using the rotisserie, so next time I may pour hot oil over it or take a Searzall to it instead.

    It’s been 4 hours since the post. I hope there is still leftovers. I’m on my way!

    Welcome!

    Did you bank the coals? I’ve found that to be generally essential to good rotisserie results to avoid over cooking the outside.

      I did, yes. The outside turned out great, albeit not evenly “puffed” like I would have liked.

      I actually dropped the porchetta into the coals when I was adjusting the setup for crisping the skin, but fortunately I was able to pull it out of there pretty quickly.
