    Lid down or up for rotisserie?

    Just got a rotisserie and I'm cooking 2 chickens. I never even considered whether the lid should be up or down. I'm afraid the fire will get out of hand if it's up. What say you all?

      I blew it on the drip pan. Rookie mistake.

        I thought you were going to cook with the lid down. 😁

        A little side note: Apparently this was the last single Elvis recorded before he died.

        I always do lid down but that’s because I only ever rotisserie whole Turkey. Even with the lid down the skin approaches over cooked.

          As a married man, think of the lid as a toilet seat. It should be down unless there is a reason for it to be up.

            Yes, unless there is a reason.
