Okay to kick things off on the new Rotisserie Channels

45" One Grill with basket rotisserie

Does anyone know if Weber is now making a airtight fitting rotisserie ring for the 22” Kettle.
I bought an "official Weber" rotisserie “ set ; it is about 1/4 inch smaller in diameter than the diameter of the top & bottom.
This does not allow for accurate temperature control while using the rotisserie .

[RonB]

Not that I know of. I have been thinking that a small diameter heatproof gasket could be stuffed in that groove to help control air flow, but there are still the groves the rotisserie fits in to contend with.

@smokeythebare
So the Weber rotisserie set that they sell is smaller than the kettle and doesn't seal top to bottom? I was thinking about getting one but now I am putting the brakes on. It doesn't sound like that design will work very well.

[CaptainMike]

What turns it? Is that some kind of flywheel inertia gear-reduction gizmo, or do you have a spit-boy?

[Mudkat]

A battery operated motor that comes with it (on the right side in the pic). This motor turns up to 20 lbs. You can get one that does 40 lbs. It runs on D batteries and runs for ever.

[CaptainMike]

That explains the large box. I think I read somewhere that Spit-boys went on strike and were demanding $15/hr. I guess this was the industry response.

+1 CaptainMike, thanks for that laugh this morning!

Rolled pork belly march this year for same party that I smoked 80 pounds of pork.

[Mudkat]

Wow!

[Potkettleblack]

That is epic, brah.

[holehogg]

Not as epic as the Bone in Brisket on the same spit, Broer. Potkettleblack

[Mudkat]

Here's a Peruvian chicken over my Weber before I built the fire pit. I haven't used that rotisserie since I got a smoker. Hmmm...

[Potkettleblack]

This might be the most useful comment I’ve read about rotisserie.

[Troutman]

I've got an old rotisserie from a former gasser that's collecting dust. Would love to rig something like that up, where did you get those stakes? Was that part of a rotisserie kit? Mudkat

I had been looking at OneGrill's products on Amazon when I saw this post. According to their website they are located in Ohio.

Here's a link to their website's "About Us" page for anyone that wants to look at who they are and what they sell. https://www.onegrill.com/aboutus.asp

Here's their Amazon page. https://www.amazon.com/stores/node/1...eb_12688830011

Mudkat it does sound handy & fun to use. Those caught my eye both in your post and on their website. Great thread.

[Troutman]

You just answered my question above, thanks.

[Rob Johnston]

Interesting site. I had never seen that before. Thanks for the great information!

[Willard]

So the request for the Rotisserie Channel won out. It just might become a fave, at least for me since i just got one. Great timing!

[Livermoron]

There's a rotisserie channel now? Great!

Here's how I do tri tip...

[ecowper]

Livermoron what temp do you take them to? Medium-rare? How hot are you running the grill temp?

[Livermoron]

ecowper I just put in a basket of lit KBB coals...don't really know what the grill temp is. I use a smoke box with some wood chips for smoke. I usually let it go for 35 - 40 minutes which gets me to about 110 internal. After that I sear them on all sides and let them rest. Usually it results in 135 degree temps...

[ecowper]

Livermoron yup, that’s in my list o things to do now

[Willard]

I suppose y'all are going to make me get one for my kettle now, aren't you?

[EdF]

You just know it's building up to that!

[Willard]

Look, I just turned my coffee upside down in the bed this morning. Made spots a foot in diameter on the comforter, sheets and mattress. The only new thing will be a mattress and i don't know how to cook on that.

[Attjack]

Dry it and flip it. Then go feed your mcs.

[Mudkat]

I'd follow Meat Heads low and slow 2 zone cooking method for that.

[Troutman]

I'm glad you all got your rotisserie channel, cooking this way is really a great way to barbecue. My only comment is to encourage a little more description as to the way the meat was prepared perhaps. Otherwise it's just a subset of SUWYC.

Here's some chicken I recently trussed and cooked on my gasser. I set the outside burners to 350* (using a grate probe) until the meat got up to about 150*ish IT. At that point I turned off the outside burners and fired up the infrared burner for final sear color and took it up to 160* in the breast. Used an over night salt brine and Oakridge Secret Weapon seasoning. Easy peasey meals that get gobbled up every time.

[Potkettleblack]

My idea for rotisserie on the Genesis, with no IR burner, was to get two of these:

https://www.amazon.com/Charcoal-Companion-Stainless-V-Shape-Smoker/dp/B002WJIQGW

One for the left burner channel and one for the right most, since they both have to be running, apparently, and filling with chunks.

[Troutman]

That’s essentially the same box, try it with two that just might work !!! Chunks may not fit, use pellets.

[Potkettleblack]

I have pellets... but I also have some nice chunks that are looking for a use.

[Willard]

Troutman is the infrared burner a built-in feature of your cooker or is it aftermarket? Just saw that for the first time in the last week reading something, maybe in another post?

[Troutman]

It's a Weber Summit, everything you see is built into the cooker

[Dan Deter]

When I got my Summit (used) I didn't think I'd ever use the infrared burner. Boy was I wrong. It crisps up the chicken skin a treat!

[Cheef]

Any way to hook up a rotisserie on a PK360? Seems like it would be a good match.
