Weber Rotisserie on a Kettle Joe
The Kettle Joe was begging for a rotisserie! I adapted a Weber branded rotisserie to it. At 22" in diameter the Kettle Joe accepted the ring with a few tweaks (cut some slots) and fits well. The hinged lid is a winner on the KJ Kettle Joe. This application maxed out the hinge's elevation/lift but it works.

Predicting that the large world of Weber driven accessories would be a good fit for the Kettle Joe was expected. That adjustable height lid is a brilliant execution on their part while being a fairly simple idea.

Alphonse a follow up question on your use of the rotisserie. There are multiple beliefs on which setup is "best" for fuel/fire placement relative to the bird(s) on the shaft, but I like what I see here. Do you bank the fuel with a drip pan in between, or fuel "pile" directly under the bird?
BTW, I bought the Kettle Joe, due here tomorrow, and it's all your fault (I'm going with the modern trend of blaming someone else for my decisions).

I use the rotisserie direct fired (sans drip pan}. I've learned to not fire it too hard and throttle combustion air carefully so it doesn't get too hot. The ceramic firebox helps this kettle get really hot!

I put it together yesterday afternoon, and will do burn in today, so no cooks yet. I will say I hope it cooks better than it looks. I found myself saying something along the lines of "remember Bob, this is Masterbuilt related stuff, your expectations for quality are too high." If this were expected to be a preproduction unit the flaws would be understandable. Those folks who swear off first run production stuff get a plastic trophy for prescience on this one. The porcelain work, especially at the flange of the lid is poor, and the sloroller had a two inch long void in the coating. Two of the stones came out of the box with small cracks. And the preassembled top band on the bowl had several loose fasteners. I'm sure, or at least hopeful, that the three damaged/inferior pieces noted will be replaced. From an overall fit and finish standpoint it's solidly commodity/big box store level.....which in my terms is less than a compliment. I compare it to my $270 Performer, or the $300 OKJ Bronco and it's way short. But, in the end I purchased it for the design features and how it will cook. Seeing what you have done gives me hope for that part of the equation. And there's the enjoyment I get from experimenting with mixing accessories and testing performance.

That's disappointing to hear. Hopefully they'll get you replacement parts quickly!
I don't think my preproduction unit had that many issues.
Curious as to where you bought it.
