If you're looking to add a rotisserie to your grill, there are a few things you'll need to consider. First, check to see if your grill is compatible with a rotisserie. Some grills come with rotisserie-specific features, while others can be outfitted with aftermarket rotisserie kits. You'll also want to make sure your grill is large enough to accommodate whatever you plan on cooking on the rotisserie. If everything checks out, then it's time to start shopping for a rotisserie that will fit your grill and your cooking needs
You can rotisserie a steak, but it will not be as tender as a steak that is grilled or pan-fried. The reason is that the rotisserie cooks the steak slowly and evenly, making it less likely to dry out.
You can rotisserie brisket, but it's not the best way to cook it. Brisket is a tough cut of meat, so it benefits from slow, moist cooking methods like braising.
When using a rotisserie on a grill, it is important to close the grill in order to maintain consistent cooking temperatures. By closing the grill, you create a more stable environment for the rotisserie to work in and prevent heat from escaping. This will help the rotisserie to cook the food more evenly and prevent it from drying out.

This was given to me in 2015. On it, I have smoked more than 34 lbs of meat. approximately 20 pounds of turkey and over 12 pounds of pork sirloin. BOTH turned out well. When I get time to post them, I'll include pictures of both. Because it doesn't just rest flat, the rotisserie is excellent and produces such moist meats. This past weekend was a trial run of the turkey-smoking apparatus I purchased for Thanksgiving.One difference I observed between this device and my gas grill's rotisserie is how stable and powerful it is. It is very well made and definitely worth the money. This, in my opinion, is an absolute MUST if you like moist meats and smoking. There are no other methods that I am aware of that combine smoking and rotisserie.Feb 2016, At this time, I have used this A LOT. I still adore it, and it is fantastic. Nobody else that I am aware of can simultaneously smoke and rotisserie a 20 pound chicken for Thanksgiving or Christmas. For the Super Bowl, I recently made smoked rotisserie ribs, and they were wonderful!I purchased a 21.67-pound fowl for Thanksgiving. I'll publish after I cook and include any criticism I receive from family members (as an unbiased feedback).So the bird was adored by all. was fantastic in every way. I learned that a cousin was making fun of it at their college. It had to be excellent (and SUUUUUUPER moist..like sandwich meat).On 11-17-16, I received a request for more information about the circumstances and methodology of my turkey. For a slow burn, I use the charcoal train approach, leaving a 4 inch by 4 inch trail of unburned charcoal around half the bottom edge. There is a little gap of around 10% or so between the top and bottom halves of the atmosphere. I throw wood chunks into the fire so they can smolder as it continues to burn like a wick. I light a charcoal chimney that is roughly 1/3 to 1/2 full and drop it on one end to start the chain and also to have it start off hotter (about 400F). In the ensuing hour, it will decrease to roughly 325. (because you have less charcoal in the trail). I roast the turkey for 15 minutes for every pound of meat (ex 20lb bird would be 5 hours). In order to create a direct heat shield from the coals to the turkey, I placed an aluminum tray of water behind it with some foil sticking up approximately 3–4 inches. Yes, I place aluminum foil in the water tray that is supported by a rock to keep the foil cooler and the water warmer. Please ask if there are any details I overlooked that you want to know about.I've been experimenting with how to make rotisserie-smoked pulled pork since April 2016. Some of you professional chefs will probably roll your eyes, but I have to share because I'm happy and have achieved. I had no idea that this was feasible. 1. It takes a LONG time to cook—about 12 hours, give or take, depending on the size of your butt—but that is only a joke. 2. To improve flavor, coat the meat with spices and sprinkle it with a very small amount of red pepper flakes. Then, wrap the meat in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least one night (this makes a big difference). 3. Be prepared to replenish water and charcoal several times during the day if you expect to cook for about 12 hours. The simplest form of cooking I've ever done is smoking. The original set it and forget it method is used.This was the result of my efforts; nevertheless, it is not pulled pork. Temperature markers to look for 160 degrees = no pulled pork but AMAZING pork slices that are done but very supple and great for sliced sandwiches. At an internal temperature of 175 degrees, the connective tissues start to dissolve and the outside begins to change color from red to black. In my experience, the internal temperature of the pork can be pulled off anywhere between 175 and 195, but 195 is optimum for simple shredding while remaining incredibly moist.Keep the cooking temperature between 225 and 250. Since learning that connective tissue melts at 175 degrees, I've performed many buttocks. I tried to cheat this weekend because I was short on time and kept the temperature between 300 and 400 degrees, which is very hot for smoking, but it still took approximately 8 hours. At these higher temperatures, the saltiness seemed to be more acute. Since I maintained the exterior just a little bit oiled—not dripping, but not dry either—the moisture level was still fairly good. The moral of the story is that low and slow cooking is better and still gets the meat a 9 out of 10. I did shorten the cooking time by 4-5 hours, thus cheating is technically doable.I hope you all give it a try. One of my most-used barbecue items, even more so than my grill grate, is the rotisserie ring. It is necessary.

No concerns, except than the need to remove two ribs from each rack and the slight pressure required to fasten them shut. Contrary to some reviews, it remained closed throughout cooking. Not a lot of meat stuck. Cleaning was a little laborious, but I'm to blame for not soaking them beforehand. Overall, I'm quite happy.

I purchased this to use while camping over a campfire. Perhaps because it is an exact replica of the one we have at home, the rotisserie functions just as well as the one on our grill. It effortlessly handled an 8 kg rolled turkey breast.The legs that need to be rooted into the ground could be a potential issue. They have proven simple to plant so far because the soil is sand. However, once those legs are in, the holes are so deep, and it is difficult to lift it up further. On occasion, we have found it essential to raise the rotisserie higher over the heat. A harder ground surface would make it difficult to install the legs as well. Of course, there is also the underlying issue, sometimes known as the rock. Sinking the legs into wood has been mentioned by a few other reviewers, which presumably works on a moderately level surface. We are also waiting to see if it will work with larger and broader fire pits we will come across later in this camping season because the legs and rotisserie itself are not that wide.The advice from some other reviews to use aluminum foil to protect the battery casing and motor from heat is an excellent one. For us, it worked! We appreciate the reviewers who offered that advice. The reviews on Amazon are always a wonderful source of advice when purchasing things.

I've used this item on six cooks thus far, and I really like it. The current trend in cooking is rotisserie. The device itself performs admirably. The one drawback I can see to this is that there is no counterbalance, so for the food to turn the most evenly, it actually needs to be very centered on the spit. You can balance the entire spit by adding a weight to the end, but you can't offset it to balance an uneven load.This device operates flawlessly and according to plan even without the counterweight. On my Weber Genesis II E-410, I've been working. For most meals to cook correctly, you must remove your cooking grates in order to create enough clearance. To catch drippings, place a pan or tinfoil dish under the food.

Because of the price, I assumed it would be a third-party rotisserie when I ordered this because I was in a hurry. This is the genuine article from Weber, though. Some things to be aware of are listed below.The Weber Genesis II XL-LX I own (E340). This rotisserie is just right. The metal motor clamp did not fit tightly on the side of the grill, and that was the only thing I could find. It had a small "play," but it had no impact on the performance as a whole.Keep in mind that you won't be able to lower the left grill shelf after installing the metal motor clamp. I didn't have a problem with this, but you should be aware that you can't lower the shelf without first removing the metal motor clamp.Additionally, the sauce warmer on the right side of the grill will be covered by the right side of the rotisserie skewer. The sauce warmer is still functional, but you must remove the lid before inserting the skewer. Again, not a problem for me.After 2.5 hours of use, I noted that the right side of the skewer was neither heated nor even warm to the touch. On the left end of the skewer, however, you must put on a glove or mitt since it is hot!You will need to use an extension unless you are very close to an electrical outlet. (3-prong).You should be able to set everything up in less than 20 to 30 minutes because the installation instructions are simple to follow. The motor has a switch and is noisy, though not overbearing.Every skewer component and extension appears to be made of high-quality stainless steel. You definitely need to be careful handling this because the skewer clamps are quite pointy.We prepared a 4 lb. pork roast today. My husband prepared a marinade for pineapple and garlic that we discovered online. This was our first time using the rotisserie, and I must say that the outcomes exceeded my expectations. (view images) Simply be mindful of the temperature and time of the meat. Purchase a meat thermometer of a high caliber, and you'll be OK.Additionally, you'll need to clean all of this hardware afterward, so be ready. But it's worth the extra trouble.

Our barbecue's engine died after we purchased a chicken rotisserie attachment (go figure!). Since we truly enjoy chicken prepared in this manner, we purchased this substitute. With the remainder of the attachment we already have, it functions flawlessly.We hook it into the home with an extension cord, hang a chicken from the pole, and voila! To cook the chicken to perfection, it turns completely and at the proper pace. It's a wonderful feature to have an on/off switch so you can turn it off before unplugging.This engine is essentially silent and appears to have no trouble supporting the weight of the bird (2-3 pounds chickens).

My Master Forge 3218 grill's extension fits perfectly with the grill. The brackets are affixed to the grill indefinitely. When you need to use the motor, you slip it onto the bracket; you could leave it there, but I think it's best to keep it out of the elements. The handle's short threads are the only thing I have to complain about. With the counterweight in place, it is challenging to screw the handle on. Otherwise, I think it works great and would suggest it.

These are frequently used by tumbler painters to turn their epoxied tumblers. Having used two of them already, I can attest that they perform admirably in that capacity. A newbie can use it because the speed is slow enough. The engine has enough power to support the tumblers' weight. By no means is it silent, but neither is it overly loud. produces a gentle buzz

We have a 3-burner Char-Broil with side shelves (25" X 17" Grill Surface). A few years back, I added an inexpensive rotisserie and frequently used it. To cut a long tale short, it was garbage. You do get what you pay for, indeed.Before making a purchase, I looked at the One Grill website where I discovered a wealth of information about sizing, fit, and available alternatives. I requested the 1/2" hexagonal spit, which is made entirely of stainless steel. Durability should make up for the additional expense.Everything about it is heavy-duty, including the hardware, manufacturing tolerances, and the thick materials. When you crack the package open, you'll be impressed. Although it did take some time to fine-tune the post-install changes for clearance and alignment, the initial installation went surprisingly quickly. It took roughly 1.5 hours in total (or 2 beers).I was expecting the worst because I've purchased several 'universal' things in the past. I'm pleased to report that the accompanying brackets and hardware bolted on easily. A significant accomplishment in light of the enormous variety of grill sizes and types. Although the hardware that comes with the motor can only be mounted horizontally, I would have preferred to attach the motor vertically. But it's not a big deal; it still functions perfectly. Although certain grills may be difficult to install, you should typically be able to modify it to fit.However, before making a purchase, visit One Grill's website. They might have a fix for your specific model. There is nothing more frustrating than opening a package to find it won't fit.The gear handled that load of an 8-pound chicken like it was nothing. will readily support a lot more weight. My previous spit would flip and flex under the same weight, and the motor would grumble. This motor is quite and delivers consistent, powerful torque. The heat shield and offset brackets perform a fantastic job of shielding the motor from intense heat. Housing was hardly heated even at 450 degrees. Any load we spin should not experience flexing thanks to the heavy spit. We'll never approach the maximum rating on our little grill. I estimate that we can fit no more than 30 pounds onto this spit.Longer spigots (mine is 37") may flex under really heavy loads. However, bear in mind that the motor alone, not the entire device, is subject to the 50-pound rating. Given that I've already had three motors fail on me, I'm okay with it. This one should stay in the sweet spot for a lot longer thanks to the backup power. However, if you want to frequently spin 50-pound loads, you should think about upgrading to the 5/8" spit or a more robust freestanding rig like the professionals do.A high-quality item that was created in the USA. Customer service has received overwhelmingly positive reviews (yum!). Although expensive, you get what you paid for. Why do I know that? This ought to last much longer than my grill. If you're as fortunate as I was, you should be ready to go in time for dinner.
No, you do not need a rotisserie burner.
To cook a spit roast on a gas grill, you will need to first set up your grill for indirect cooking. This means that you will need to have one side of your grill on high heat, and the other side on low heat. Then, you will need to place your spit roast on the low heat side of your grill. Cook your spit roast for about 1-2 hours, or until it reaches the desired temperature.
Most rotisseries have a speed of about 2 to 4 rpm.
A BBQ rotisserie is a great way to cook a roast. It is quick and easy to set up, and you can cook a roast in about 30 minutes.
A rotisserie is a great way to cook a roast, and it's easy to do. The key is to cook the roast for the correct amount of time. How many minutes per pound do you cook a roast on a rotisserie? For a medium-rare roast, cook the roast for 8 minutes per pound. For a medium roast, cook the roast for 10 minutes per pound. And for a well-done roast, cook the roast for 12 minutes per pound.
If you want to use a rotisserie, you'll need enough charcoal to fill a Chimney Starter about halfway.
