CrockPot BBQ Pit
For my birthday my fiance bought me a new gadget: the CrockPot BBQ Pit. This appliance is great for slow cooking and particularly barbecuing meat inside. For those who do not have a slow cooking grill outside this is a godsend!
The main trick to this is that is slow cooks the meat much like a CrockPot will slow cook chili or soup. Meat just falls off the bone by the time it is done. The slow cooker is perfect for cooking chicken and/or ribs. I have already cooked ribs in it twice and without fail the meat was as tender as anything else I have tasted anywhere. I cooked a six pound chicken in it and the only complaint I had about it was that the bird was falling apart when I tried to take it out.
Our local supermarket like many others across the country, gives their loyal customers a free turkey around Thanksgiving, and we ended up with two turkeys. So for Christmas dinner, I decided I would cook the other one in the slow cooker. My plan was to cook the turkey most of the day (about 12 hours) in the slow cooker so it would be ready by dinner. Late the night I found out my future mother in-law would have to leave dinner early the next day so I had to rush the turkey that wasn’t even close to being thawed out.
For work functions I cook this in the crock pot all day, come home, drain and shred, place meat in fridge. Next morning I add the meat plus the extra jar of barbecue sauce, take to work and put in slow. A perpetual collection of retro videogame hintbooks.

Rival Crock Pot Bbq Pit Instruction Manual
At 3 a.m. in the morning I placed the rock solid twenty pound bird into the cooker, threw on some spices, set it on low and went to bed. By 5:30 the next day, it was finished and I had to cut it with a spatula to get it out. The meat was just breaking apart so I cut the turkey in half with the spatula and scooped it out. The breast practically fell out. It was amazing. After about 10 hours of cooking I did have to use a turkey baster to get some of the juice out of the cooker as it was starting to fill up. The manual does not say what size turkey will fit, but I would not go any larger than twenty pounds.
There is one thing you have to be careful about, and that is when you open the cooker after it has been cooking for a while. The steam that escapes from under the lid is very hot and can burn you.
Cooking a rack of ribs can sometimes be a pain because they don’t really stand up well in the rack. Perhaps there is a trick I am missing and just need more time experimenting to find a solution.
The unit comes with two racks, one that stands up so you can place foot in it, and another one that is flat. What is unique about this slow cooker is with the racks in place, all of the fat and grease can fall under the rack (unless you take them out).
The CrockPot BBQ Pit is definitely a good thing to have around, especially in the winter when you just do not want to go outside to cook!
How To Use a Crock-Pot
Indoor BBQ pit makes succulent BBQ a year-round reality!
I got the Rival CrockPot BBQ Pit for my birthday in mid-December and I've used it several times since then, for chicken, ribs, and a decent-sized brisket.
First things first - read the instructions, which are brief and easy to understand, before using the BBQ Pit. One drawback to the instructions is that they just say the stoneware insert's easy to clean. Baked-on meat drippings, however, require significant effort to remove, and I advise you to spray the insert with a Pam-like product before each time you cook.
The BBQ Pit comes with a convenient reversable rack that can accomodate either ribs or a roast or chicken. I had a large brisket that I sort of had to shoehorn in, but after a few hours it had shrunk so that I could move it around easily. It's important to avoid letting the meat come in contact with the inside of the stoneware insert, because it might burn.

OK , But I Prefer My Smoker
Just as I was about to get rid of this thing I took a few minutes and read what others on Amazon had to say about this item, decided to try some of the suggestions, and went and gave it a second chance.
Lining the bottom with aluminum and putting a sheet of aluminum over the cooking area before closing the lid made all the difference (as did leaving it alone and not lifting the lid for the first several hours, and only lifting a total of one time to baste) for both cooking the meat and cleaning the unit. I also only added a little bit of beer and water to the drip pan before cooking. This seemed to help keep the meat tender (without oversteaming it) and even helped brown it a bit.

Still, there are some lingering problems. I don't know why RIVAL did not put a 'warm' setting on the switch like they do with the crock-pot, which we use all the time. Also, that meat rack is dysfunctional. If you try and put the ribs or chicken pieces in the 'rack rows' created...Crock-Pot Pit BBQ
