:Bought my Orion yesterday at Home Depot for $99. Was a leftover from last year but brand new in the box. Am looking forward to the first experience, but need for the weather to get a little warmer. Will continue to monitor this site, as I have been doing for a few months now.
Welcome to SatelliteGuys and the Orion experience!
If you have no or little wind you can still do a cook
I was going to try a cook yesterday and was called to go out and help get my Aunt and Uncle a TV going...(1 year old plasma died Thursday night)... put the roast in a Crockpot for an overnight cook and power was out for about 5 hours... the dogs are going to eat good in a little bit

I wish I lived closer to you. I just showed the above recipe to my wife, and she said "Yum, he's got all the good stuff in that".

... yup trying to figure out what to add so I do not "waste" the charcoal... letting the yard bird warm up a little...
Cooked a Turkey. Brined it in Veggie broth, kosher salt and water. Rubbed with E.V.O.O, and rubbed with poultry rub.
That looks good...how long did you cook it? It's been windy one day and not the next so kinda hard to plan a cook here...
It was 13-14 lbs. I have noticed Brined turkeys take less time to cook, so I alternate between 6-7 min per pound.
7 lbs x 7 min =49 min
7lbs x 6 min =42 min.
An hour 31 min
The day I cooked the turkey it was miserable out. I thought I would have to cook it in the oven, because the rain. Just as the oven preheated there was a break in the rain and I ran outside and fired it up...
As far as wind I use a couple of fold out tables on their side as wind breaks. But I have seen some real clever ideas at the orion site, especially the cookout thread.
Thanks, Yeah I use icebox's for wind break but with 30 mph sustained and gusts over 45, not even going to do it (plus it is dry and we have been under Red Flag warnings)
