So at Panhead John ‘s request and Attjack causing my pockets to get a bit lighter. 😁 I guess I’ll be the Guinea pig here. 👍
I received the Onlyfire rotisserie only fire Shish Kabob Skewers Set with Stainless Steel Ring, Automatic Rotating System with Motor for Weber 22 1/2 Inch Kettle and Other Similar Kettle Charcoal Grills https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08KRNGC2R...ing=UTF8&psc=1 on Tuesday and finally got to test it out Friday night.
They packed it with styrofoam panels. A good thing if they weren’t all broken apart. No biggie. Everything was intact and in good condition.
The ring itself is sturdy. Only where you lay the skewers down at the handle side is a little flimsy, but not bad at all. It also sits quite secure on the kettle, which is nice. Also the kettles lid sits on top pretty well, but not perfect.
The motor is battery powered, 2 D batteries.
The driving mechanism seems to be very sturdy and is a lot heavier than I expected.
Very easy to assemble.
It comes with 7 skewers of which 3 are a lot thicker, they say for heavier foods, I could see it holding a whole chicken. But it doesn’t come with any tongs to hold it in place. It would have been nice if they included 7 rollers instead of just 3.
I’m sure I’m leaving out something here. Great being half brain dead. 😁
My first cook was a batch of wings. Rubbed and dry brined 24hrs.
Wasn’t sure how to run the fire so I laid a bed of KBB on the lower grate and lit up a full chimney of FOGO. Spread that over the KBB and waited about 5min for everything to get going.
The unit runs fairly smooth 👍 For this cook I used the thinner skewers. They worked fine for this cook. Only thing is the thinner skewers flop over a bit as it’s rotating. Not a big deal. I’m sure the thicker ones wouldn’t do that but I haven’t tried them yet. Also the tips of the skewers are not sharp at all. I ground the tips to make them more pointy.
Overall the cook went well. But I gotta play with fire management some. Think the fire was too hot as I couldn’t reach over the pit to baste the wings. Yes I have a few less hairs on my hand now 😂 And the wings were done in about 20min. Usually with the Vortex is a 40min cook.
Final thoughts so far is I like it. Learning curve? Yes. But we all know that about all cookers and Accessories.
Don’t know how long the batteries will last but keep a spare set around and there’ll be no worries.
I’m gonna reach out to Onlyfire and see if I can get more rollers.
If you’re looking for a rotisserie for a kettle. I do recommend this unit. But only time will tell as too how durable it is.
Now the pics. The first one is quite funny from the instruction manual.
