I attempted a whole tandoori snapper. I didnt have skewers, so I visited the local metal works and bought some 4.6mm stainless steel rods. I cut the rod into 2 approx 70cm lengths. I loaded up the marinated whole snapper on the skewer and manouevered it in to the BGE. Closed the lid and waited. Result: Fish fell off skewer, I managed to resurrect it and the bits that were nearer the coals tasted great, but the bits in the middle were undercooked. Will try again.

Our chef, Sekimori, didn't have very good English skills. It looks like they served some really interesting and high quality dishes. We only stayed with the sushi. Still, the bill came up pretty high, even with only one glass of sake. I don't know when Sakae is going to shut down (it may have already). The reviews of Noboru on Yelp are not that kind. We may try Yuzu next time. Too bad we didn’t get Hiro, as we might have had a more informative night. Our chef, Sekimori, didn’t have very good English skills.

Pretty cool. Alas, the video from that part of the process was poor quality, so I didn't include it. If we get a chance to re-film, I'll add it. The seed part is the softest part of the cantaloupe, you can simply slice them off the wedges or even use a spoon and dig them out from the halves before cutting wedges. I’m impressed you noticed!

But that company wants $60 EACH. It was much cheaper having Egg Accessories make some to our specification. Yes, we looked at those when trying to find a good solution.

If you're looking for the proper implements to use in a tandoor, you might check out this website: http://www.woodstone-corp.com/products_tandoor_accessories.htm There are other types of skewers used with tandoors, but if you're trying to eliminate food falling off your skewer... the one I recommended came from a tandoor manufacturing website. Good luck if you haven't already found a solution to your problem. Brad Hey, I love Indian food and particularly food cooked in a tandoor oven.
