Hello Pitmasters,
I picked up the Onlyfire rotisserie for my Weber Performer Kettle a couple of weeks back, but I have never cooked with a rotisserie before. I am going to cook a small chicken tomorrow and need some advice. I have found some information on the pit, the Weber site and YouTube, but nothing stating how the coals should be lit.
I'm thinking I will use the Weber charcoal baskets on each side with a drip pan in the middle. The way I hit 325 degrees with my SnS (I have that too if it is a better set up) is half fill the basket (2 in this case) half full of unlit charcoal and then dump lit charcoal on top of the unlit. Is this a sound approach, or is there a better way?
Looking forward to learning from all you rotisserie gurus here on the pit!
