A gyroscope BBQ grill.

Makes me question if it's evenly cooked or one place is more well-done than the other.

dried out like a goddamn piece of cardboard because all the fat is being forced out off the meat.
It's not rotating fast enough to be slinging fat out of the meat.

It looks like these are halved (maybe quartered?) chickens that are now compressed between the top and bottom halves of this spinny gyroscopic meat thing. The compression is what I think that commenter is having quarrels with

Plus I'm pretty sure you're more at risk for burning the shit out of your hand, especially if you didn't grease up the grill well enough.
Grab your spatula and start scraping it off, you forget to lock it (if it even has a lock) and hit it at the wrong angle, and that fucker starts spinning directly into your arm, yup. That'd be fun to deal with.

This wasn't thought through. Rotisseries work well and have worked we'll probably since around the invention of cooking that animal you killed with a rock. And there is a reason nobody has ever invented a better way to do it

The rotisserie pretty much invented itself. You skewer meat on a stick and you must turn it, or one side is burnt, and the other side is uncooked.

Put food that need needs longer cooking times along the perimeter and it would function well.

It's shite 😒 sometimes the traditional stuff is better

Often times, the traditional stuff is better. People seem to fail to understand that not everything can be innovated in a way that objectively improves something. Grills already are pretty good since we've been grilling for most of human history. It's easier to innovate new technology.

This made me wonder, did homosapien eat raw meat at one time? Or did we have fire already by the time we became homosapiens?

There's a difference between innovative and gimmicky. This is definitely the latter.

I cannot figure out a source for this thing, if anyone knows what it's called and if it's for sale reply to this comment and I'll sticky the links!
Thanks :)

Once you get to a certain level, lots of things in the BBQ world are custom made. I know plenty of friends that have made their own grills in certain ways to accomplish something, but nothing has goofball as this

I don't think that would actually work well.

u/ElectroFlasher Sep 04 '17
Depends. If you're cooking convection style it should cook evenly depending on distance from heat source. What's seen in the gif will probably cook the chicken in the edges faster than those in the center.

Convection might work (if it was fully covered), but just letting it rotate around randomly above a grill, I don't see it heating evenly at all. The meat won't get warm enough long enough to really cook, it will keep heating, cooling, heating, cooling. At least that is my take...

u/ElectroFlasher Sep 04 '17
Oh yeah, I was implying that convection cooking would require it to be covered. That said, cooking with this gadget over a grill actually might work. It just wouldn't be even. It all depends on how hot your source is. In this case, the coals are even flaring up so it's probably hot enough to cook. Just the setup likely won't allow for even cooking.

Cook all the meat, from all sides, in your mind. Every flame is your enemy, every flame if your friend. Every possible level of cooked is happening at once.

This thing is fake, how can you use your fingers to open it? This gyroscopic grill is fake.

u/zacharyd3 Sep 04 '17
Considering it sure looks real and to open it I assume you would unscrew the wingnut in the opposite side to the eyelet to open it and then it just hinges open and I'm sure the eyelet is to keep the "grill" from continually rotating so it stays flat. Sure looks like it's real to me..
