Picked this up NIB for $45 after being tipped of by @Neil_VT00. Can't wait for my first dizzy chicken!
Not sure when I'll get to use it. I still have a SnS, Kettle Pizza, brownie, and C&B green performer that I've all acquired since the beginning of the year that I haven't used yet :( all used except the SnS. Blasphemy that I haven't used any of these things yet. Please don't stone me!

Grilled pineapple is amazing.  Going to have to try this recipe this summer.

Did you spin a chicken yet @Firemunkee?

Nope, it's hard for me to find time to grill with my work hours and young family.  It was about a month before I got to use my new SnS lol Plus this weekend was packed and it weathered all day Sunday. I will definitely post about my first rotisserie cook though!

This has been driving me nuts. Anyone else notice the discrepancy between the two photos on this box?

The photo on the left of the box is probably what is contained in the box.  A rotisserie ring, motor and spit that has a wooden handle.  Notice the notched area on the left of the ring so the spit can lay down into the slot.  Also, the motor bracket is attached with 2 bolts/nuts at the top of the ring. 

Now look at the photo on the right side of the box.  Explain to me how they got the turkey mounted onto the rotisserie ring.  Get what I'm saying?

The rotisserie ring in the right hand photo is an older style with no notches for the spit to lay in and the motor is attached with blots/nuts much lower on the ring.  This is the type of rotisserie ring that was used with a spit that had no handles.  I have used one like this.  With the food loaded, you have to thread one end of the spit through the hole away from the motor, then push it back far enough to thread the other end of the spit into the motor.  This is while holding it over lit coals in the kettle.  You learn how to thread those holes quickly with this style.

 

Only three possible ways to have created the photo:

1 - Whoever took the photo, had to thread the spit through the first hole, away from the motor, attach the turkey and forks, then thread it through the other hole into the motor.

2 - The wooden handle was detached from the spit to thread the spit through the holes, then reattached for the photo shoot. 

3 - Photo shopped the handle onto the spit of an existing add photo of an older, more vintage rotisserie.

(#3 is probably the most likely if the technology existed at the time.)

 Sorry, I can't shake my attention to detail.

Did you use it? Are you looking to part with it?

Each purchase of a weber grill is a very special and rare occasion for me as they are rare to come by around here.
