Weber Rotisserie Grate Adder Mod

[Smokin Seymour]

Over the years, there's got to be a ton of mods and threads for the Weber rotisserie modified to accept a grate so this is nothing new.

Just drilling holes and installing bolts seemed to be the quick mod.  I decided to make the grate stand offs as part of lift handles.  The handles can be used to lift off the entire spacer to access the charcoal etc. if needed. And, of course, it's nice to have two grates for cooking now, or just use the top grate for slower grilling or smoking and keeping meat a little further from the fire.

Great job.

Great idea! ... Throw a GBS Grate in there with no center and you could use the roti AND the grill space around the outside!!

Good idea. Looks like quality work.

Make one of these

 Make your own Weber rotisserie for $30.00
You will need
1 Old Weber
1 Universal rotisserie kit, home center about $30.00
1 Thermometer for the lid about $6 at the home center. You will not know your cook temperature without this.

1. Drill 2 5/16 holes, one inch below lower kettle rim, in the center of the kettle parallel to the wheels.
2. Run spit rod through holes, mount motor bracket on left side. Bracket will have to be shimmed out do to curvature of kettle.
    Do not attach bracket without shims for this will add heat transfer to the bracket and motor.
3. I sawed off the non-point end of the skewer rod so only a few inches protrude when in use.

   The rod goes into the motor on the left side. The bushing keeps the rod from walking out the right side.
   Questions?
   Thanks,

Thanks!

But I've retro-fitted a few rotisseries in my day, I think I'm covered now;
