Title: Rotisserie
Post by: Sparky2020 on January 10, 2021, 10:26:48 AM
Does $85 seem like a good price for a used Weber rotisserie ? Looks to be in good condition. On the fence about getting one.

If you want to use it quickly and keep it dirty it's a great price. Make sure they verify the motor works. If not hit em lower and let me know I think I have an extra.

Yes, as long as it has the spit rod, forks, motor and ring.  A new Weber Rotisserie costs $179 (without sales tax).  A rotisserie is my most used accessory.  You just can't duplicate the self basting qualities of food that are cooked on a rotisserie. You won't regret the purchase.

I picked it up today. It's in good shape.The motor works fine.  Has some very minor rust spots on the top rim. What can I put on these to keep them from getting worse? Just regular cooking oil?

 Is this rotisserie ment to not be used with the lid of the kettle?

You normally would use the lid. Check out some YouTube videos. The rust is irrelevant.

Looks like I got a dud motor. It spins fine with no weight but as soon as I put a 6lb chicken on it won't rotate.

Tried that and it did not work. Was very well lubed with no rust. Windings must be bad.
I found one on Amazon for $20 (aftermarket of course). Seller agreed to paypal me the $20 since it's not in working order. Stand up guy if he comes through. We will see.
As for dinner, it turned from rotisserie to beer can chicken fast.

Seller refunded $20 via paypal for non morking motor. Great guy who stood behind his word of selling in working condition.
I ordered this motor off of Amazon. It is supposed to be rated for more load than standard rotisserie motors.

Glad to hear it!  And that one accepts the 5/16 spit which should be what you have.  I’m sure you’re itching to try out your rotisserie!

Does it come with a mount?  That doesn’t look like it will fit on the Weber mount

Maybe all rotisserie’s are universal?  Not really sure so it may work fine without modification. I only have experience with the stock one so don’t take my word for it.

It does not come with a mount. It looks to have the same frame casing as the motor that was bad, so it should work. Hoping I don't have to make any mods but will if I need to.

Looks like the bad motor that was on it was not the original. It was off by 1/4" to let the shaft rotate properly causing excess strain(probably why the motor failed). The new motor was an exact fit so I had to mod it by extending it out the 1/4". Just waiting on the coal to be ready now. I cant wait for dinner!!

I have the Cajun Bandit Stainless Steel Rotisserie Kit for my 22" Weber Performer Deluxe which is fitted with a excellent "One Grill.Com" beefy motor.

Yes.  Al pastor from sliced pork butt. Followed a recipe I found on YouTube for the marinade. Wife loved them as I did.

I had a bit too many coals as the outside meat over charred. Once that layer was cut away it was pure gold. Lesson learned. Less heat or cut off as It cooks.

Your Al pastor tacos look delicious.

I like to use 1/2 to 3/4 lit chimney of lump charcoal under the spit rod.

Thanks for sharing your roti cook.

My motors stops running some times. I usually give it some help and it gets the message. I have done some great ribeye roasts on the rotisserie. The motors seem to be standardized. The mount on my Hasty Bake oven is the same as the Weber. Should be easy to pick up a motor at goodwill, ARC thrift store or other thrift store if you are patient.
