ROTISSERIE FOR THE WEBER KETTLE

[Hawging It]

Greetings all! Done a lot of smoking this year on the Bayou Classic stick burner as well as the Weber Kettle 22". I have really learned how to go low and slow on the kettle. While surfing around last night I ran across the rotisserie that fits a Weber 22" kettle. I wanted to reach out and ask the groups opinion for those that have them for their kettle. Any and all opinions are appreciated.

Robert, tx smoker , just got one and they seem pretty nice. But at nearly $200 I have to plan to slip it in with future toys...JJ

I don't own one, but I heard the Cajun Bandit rotisserie fits better and works better then the Weber model.

I have a Cajun Bandit for my 26" kettle, works really well. Sort of pricey but my wife bought it for me. How could I refuse?

I bought the kit that Weber makes a few weeks back and I like it. I also bought a basket to go with it. I like to spatchcock a bird and stuff it in the basket instead of the normal way you would roti a chicken. Get some nice crispy skin this way. I need to use it for things besides chicken, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

I've been looking at them for about a year now . I agree with Chris . I've heard the same thing , and if I bought one I would go Cajun Bandit . Just decide if you want electric motor or battery powered .

Morning Hawg, ans thank you for the tag chef jimmyj . Yes, I recently got a Weber 22" Performer and am loving it!! One of the accessories I got was the rotisserie. The first post I saw using one was by SmokinAl where he did some ribs. That got my attention and I knew if I ever got a kettle the rotisserie was a must-have. I've only used mine a couple times but I've only had the grill a few weeks so there's lots of time to play. I looked at a bunch of them, including Weber's and here's the one I decided on. It was much less expensive then the one Weber offered and works like a dream.


Did a tri tip last weekend

I'm pretty much out for the day but if you have more questions please feel free to fire away. I'll get back to you tomorrow.

tx smoker . How does it fit ?

The fit is absolutely perfect. A nice aspect is that you can put the lid for the grill over the rotisserie and speed up the cooking process considerably if you find yourself short on time or want to save charcoal. Beware though, it will speed things up a bunch so you gotta keep an eye on the IT of the meat.

Thanks everyone. Really good information to help me decide

I have the Onlyfire SS roti with SS basket. The newer style ring fits good. The original one was said to have a gap. The motor is silent and spins strong. Nice long cord and a rubber sealed rocker switch. Adjustable basket is non-magnetic SS and cleans up great in the dishwasher. Magnet does stick to the ring. I use it with SS coal baskets full with and without a drip pan. Bought it as a less expensive alternative to Weber and CB and have not been disappointed.

I have the Onlyfire SS roti with SS basket.

That's the exact same unit I have and thus far I've been thrilled with it. Even nicer is that is was so much less than the Weber unit and I don't see that one could realistically be any better.

That is a much better price. Thanks for posting Robert...JJ
