Who has the 22.5 rotesserie?

[ECinEI]

I got mine as a Christmas present so I can't speak to cost.  But after you "spin" a couple of chickens the sting of even paying retail will fade away.  We even did a smallish Thanksgiving turkey on ours.

I have been informed by a higher authority (wife) that it is not only ok to get one, but it will be delivered to the house on Friday!

Too cool..............

I would like to thank everyone for the feedback. I am glad after so many years to have a 22.5 Premium  and a Smokey Joe again.

OK, Speaking of Roti's  ...  I have two of the original 22.5" Weber Roti's and both of them have humongous gaps between the Roti and the kettle when it's in place on it's mounting tabs.   Plays hell with maintaining cooking temps    Has anyone looked into or found a solution for sealing that gap???   Fire proof felt?  Or, maybe, Nomex gasket material.        SJ

PS   Anyone ever remove the tabs???   Think the Roti would settle down into the kettle bowl, but would it be stable enough??  It is, afterall, spinning a chicken

Simple solution is to get an older Weber to go with the older Roti.   I have the same gaps when using my Roti on my Performer, but it fits like a champ on my early 70's kettle.

Eureka !!!   I'll give that a try, I think my Red MBH is a '73-'75.    Thanks for the tip          SJ
