I bought the rotisserie from Amazon for 82$ shipped to my house
My first cook was a 7 lb eye round took only 1.5 hours
At 250 . Took it to 135IT .. Family said it was
The best ever.. I can't wait to do chickens.

There is defiantly a learning curve.. Had to rotate the ring and have the motor front to back. Originally
Side to side. .. This counter wait was hitting the handle..
But it was all good

Hi Lemans,

Did you cook with the lid off or on.  I seem to have conflicting information.  The two times I have done chickens they were very dark (on the verge of being burnt).  In both situations I had the lid on.  I did see a video on line where the guy recommend no lid and believes everyone using the lid is wrong.  Just curious as to what the general consensus around here is.
Thanks.

I've been doing the same thing, and have been wondering the same thing you have been.  I've been using the lid mostly due to time constraints.  I'm thinking that if I have the time to do a chicken with the lid off it will be amazing.  And who knows, it might not even take that much more time.

@MrHoss did a cook-up with the lid off.  He might have some more info to add.

I did my eye round with the lid on.. It cooked really fast like an hour and a half to fit the IT of 135
The grill was sitting at like 300 .. But I watched it closely and check temp every 20 mins.  It was my
First try so I didn't want to mess it up.but it came out great .  I used salt pepper and garlic
