These have been out of stock for some time, now appear to be a few at a good price on Amazon.

Weird. First time it took me to generic Amazon page. Seems to work now. Thanks for the heads up on the rotisserie.

My delivery was nitrile gloves and SS charcoal grates..... still waiting on this roti.  I'll update the thread when it arrives and I can try the fit.  I have early 80s GGA and CGA and a 90s (I think) GGA with the newer lid and will try the fit.

The rotisserie arrived today and I assembled it this evening.  First impression:  good.  Stainless steel?  Yes.  All parts are there?  Yes.  Upon closer inspection the battery door on the motor was broken.  The clip was broken off.  Ok, not a huge deal so I went ahead with the assembly and first fit.  It's a very stout riser with what looks to be SS hardware.  Got it all together and it is a bit of a challenge to fit it onto the GA.  But, once in place is very solid and not going to separate from the base of the GA once the cook is underway.  Fairly pleased at this point.  Batteries in and the motor makes noise but does not spin.  I took it apart and the motor is sealed - at least more than I wanted to disassemble in case they want pictures or want it back.  Email is in to service at onlyfire to see if they will replace the motor or if I just send the whole thing back through Amazon.  I did have an idea to try my Weber 120VAC electric motor on the unit and it doesn't fit the motor mount unfortunately.  So the jury is still out......would like to have a working roti for the GGA and CGA but not sure it can happen.  Also the spit is in two pieces and when tightened together the square shape of each half does not align.  That kinda sets off my OCD but I think I can live with it, knowing that it will be inside the meat and I don't have to see it during a cook lol..... Pics to follow and will follow up with onlyfire's response.

@bamakettles
Cool looking roti!
If you decide to keep the roti, I can fab you a SS spit rod. My guess it's 5/16" square.
What's the width of the stamped steel bracket that the roti attaches to, is it 2.90 ? 

Just asking because I have a spare OneGrill roti motor, that might fit.

EDIT:

I sent my inquiry to the wrong address.  Going to try again today to get a replacement motor.

Thanks Robert, I'll measure it tonight.

I wrote a review under the name Jeremy.  I ordered 4 of these:

1)  Sent sent the wrong item.  They sent a spatula kit.  I was in Kazakhstan at the time and my wife had no idea what I ordered and said something came.  By the time I was finally back for a vacation, I realized the sent the wrong item.  It was too late to return.  Out almost $100.

2) When I was back for my for week USA visit, I wanted one still.  Can't lest sunk costs drive future decisions...  Ordered one and put it together and it didn't fit.  Sent it back and got money back.

3) I was demobilized from Kazakhstan in September.  I knew I was going to be in the USA for several months minimum.  I was going to only have my CGA so I wanted versatility.  Ordered another one.  This one BARELY fit, but I could put it on consistently.  Thought everything was good.  Then got ready to use it and the motor didn't work.

4) Called Amazon and they sent another unit, swapped the motor, and sent the new unit back with the broken motor (per their instructions).  Finally have a working unit!

I returned to Kazakhstan in January, but in three months did tons of cooks.  Honestly I think it does better pulled pork than my Summit Charcoal...

Also, the spit rod is crap.  I think even unsafe.  I ordered this instead:

Sent an email to OnlyFire and have not gotten a response as of yet.  So I called Amazon and they are sending me another one at no charge.  We'll see how it goes!

Also, I measured the mount and it's 3".  Not sure why the difference in width for Weber and others.... I thought they were all the same.  So far this experience makes me happy to have a Weber brand rotisserie for my 22" kettles.  I know if I need support I can talk to someone that cares and is available.

Sounds like you have a standard 3" mount on the only fire stamped bracket.  Which is the same for onegrill roti mounts and motors. What's the mount distance on a Weber roti motor and bracket?

Cajun Bandit roti rings are top quality and they have excellent customer service. I own the 22" CB roti ring and use it about once a month.
CB ring can also used on WSM.


CB roti motor is sourced from OneGrill.com

Thanks for sharing.     

How long do the batteries last?

How large were the pork roasts and how did the grill handle all of the grease? 

What else did you cook?

I don't know how long they will last.  I am still on my first set with many all day cooks.  No complaints there.

I think they were 3-5 lbs.  It could do 8 lbs no problem.

My setup was to take the "straight part" of the charcoal basket and put it on the side closest to me.  I closed that bottom vent.  Next to that on the charcoal grate I made an aluminum foil "box bottom" by looking up how to fold paper boxes.  This pretty much sealed off the area under the food.  Then i put a drip pan for the summit gas grill on that.  If I was smoking I would put in water.  I will take detailed pictures of my setup when I return to the USA next week.

Very nice cooks @NL_Weber_fan .....I'm still hoping to use mine soon.  The saga continues for me, much like your experience.  I like your setup and may try something similar....

To update this thread, I received a replacement unit from Amazon - battery powered motor does EXACTLY the same thing.  Motor hums, spit rod port does not move.  So, I decided to take one of the motors apart.  Motor is fine, but inside the gear box the small plastic gear that is on the motor armature is cracked - not all the way top to bottom, just in one tooth causing it to jam on the connecting gear.  I attempted fixing it and I actually have it working, although I'm sure it's not dependable, especially with weight on the spit rod.

Last try, I emailed onlyfire and requested an electric motor unit (not battery powered) and they are sending me one FOC.
