Which Rotisserie for Weber

[jayn]

I have an oldie but goodie Weber Genesis Silver B. 3 burner 18"x24" cooking surface.

Looking to do some rotisserie cooking on it. Is the Weber OE unit the best? Or is there another option?

This is what my grill looks like.

That's the one alright. Weber Part number 7517.

Other rotisseries may work, but Weber recommends 7517 for your grill.

I'll see if Max has some input.....

Found a Weber 7517 new in box for $30 on CL. Figure the motor is worth that if I have to modify or buy new parts for the rest of it.

I bought one for my weber from this place. www.onegrill.com It's a real nice unit and heavy duty. I think it was a lot better than the weber unit.

Well, I went to pick up my CraigsList gem and the motor made horrible noises, but the spit, forks and the rest of it was pristine. $10 later it was mine.

Took it home, disassembled the motor, cleaned and lubed everything, but it back together and BAM! $10 rotisserie.

Great job!! Jason King does his Prime Rib Roast on a rotisserie.

My first cook on the spit went really well. Chuck with simple garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.

Tried to hold around 300 on the dome thermometer, so I was probably somewhere between 250 and 350. Front and rear burners on low to medium, middle burner off. Meat was DELICIOUS. Should have cooked a little longer, but the natives were restless.

Nice, I also like the dome thermometer guesstimation.
