I prefer a taller ring so i converted 2 Caliente stackers for my rotisserie. Haven't used my weber rings for months or have any plans of using it unless i need to use more than 2 rotisseries at once. The taller ring also allows you to cook direct or semi-direct.

Damn, Jules. Now THAT’S a kick-ass setup!
I’m wondering if I should leave the ring around 10” tall and cut two separate pairs of notches perpendicular to each other in order to mount the spit at two different heights. Maybe one set about 4” from the bottom, and the other about 8” from the bottom. I can get a second motor mount off Amazon for around $8, and I’m thinking this would allow me do a slightly more “semi-direct” rotisserie cook if desired.
What do you guys think? Would this 4” gap between the two roti levels make a difference, or even be worth it? If I do notches that go that low, it will certainly affect the structural integrity of the ring. However, it’s pretty solid steel from a 55gal. drum, and I think even with a 4” band of untouched steel around the bottom, it’ll still be pretty sturdy.
