Miz, do you not have access to even a cheapo charcoal grill?
I think you "could" make them in the oven, but for me, the reason to do this on the grill is the great fire-cooked flavor the grill imparts.
If you were to try this, I might recommend using the broiler with the rack at middle or lowest setting rather than "baking" them.

I hear you on the ease of use, go for it. You can probably avoid the skewers altogether, just toss the items on a sheet pan in the broiler and halfway through, give them a flip with a spatula.
You could probably get away with cooking a batch for the entire week all on Sunday, although you might decide to marinade it on Saturday and then cook smaller batches throughout the week to keep it "fresher".
Personally, I would grab a cigar and find a grill to use! Good excuse to drink a beer, smoke a cigar and cook on a Sunday. Come to think of it, that sounds like a pretty perfect Sunday to me!

^I always keep an extra tank in the garage, nothing worse than running out when you're trying to grill something

you are right, I forgot which thread I was in... Should be in the grill thread. Or the Dinner thread. Or the steak thread. Or the look-at-my-meat thread.

Not cheap but those stainless skewers are the best investment you can make for ka bobs. I own the same ones. The bamboo skewers have to be soaked in water before use and still not guaranteed to not burn on the grill.

Greek Seasoning:
Oregano
Garlic (granulated is fine)
Salt and pepper to taste.
This is a simple recipe, always use 50% oregano and add the rest to your liking. Add dill or thyme or basil or onion to your liking to bring some extra flavor.
Enjoy!

You can take the shiskabobs and use the dry rub before hand or mix the seasonings with oil.
If you dry rub the ka bobs make sure you let them sit a while before cooking so the ingredients don't burn when you cook them.
Or, cook the meat without seasoning (maybe light salt and pepper) and combine the seasoning with some evoo and roll the skewers in the mix before serving.
Greek Yogurt, with Greek Seasoning and Greek evoo, is called Tzatziki.
Recipe:
Salt and Pepper to taste
Garlic
Fresh Dill
Cucumber grated
Greek yogurt
Lemon juice.
Take 2 cups yogurt and put in a mixing bowl add 1 TSP garlic, pinch of salt and pepper, 1 TSP fresh dill, 1 TBSP of Lemon juice, 1 half small cucumber grated and drained and 1 TBSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Mix all ingredients together and refrigerate until needed.
Pro Tip: The longer the Tzatziki sits in the fridge the better so plan ahead. Also applies to Shis Ka Bobs. Let the skewers marinate for no less than an hour and up to overnight in the fridge.
To use bamboo no need to soak in water if letting sit overnight the meat will do the job.

Souvlaki aka shiskabobs. Cooked up three sheet pans for the church last night. I'm very particular on how they should be cooked so I don't let anyone near the grill.....
At the end of the grill I leave a cool spot (very low flame to let the sticks finish before removing them).

I actually bought a really small camping style charcoal grill to do some kebabs on. I had a lot of fun and it was great.

Same marinate, salt/pepper/vinegar/onions, I also add some Shashlik seasoning I picked up from a Russian grocery store. Let it sit for 24 hours or so and marinate it and then put it on the grill.
Lamb isn't for everyone, but it's definitely my favorite for Shashlik.

I agree Lamb isn't for everyone. i personally don't care for it. I have tried making shashlik with lamp a few times and once it came out very good (no gamey taste or smell) but most of the time it has a strong gamey taste to it that I can't stand.
My go to meat for shashlik is pork, always comes out perfect and tastes amazing!
