Rotisserie basket

[gmetcalf]

I picked up a rectangular grilling basket that fits on the Weber rotisserie when in Denmark last year.  I’ve not seen it for sale in the states. So far I used it for grilled veggies and fish. Curious if others have one of these and what you’ve found it most useful for.

If what you’re referring to is similar to this, I’ve used it to cook chicken thighs.

Mine is similar to that.  Here's a link to the one I got (from a UK web site):

Thighs are a good idea.  I'll try that.  Thanks.

I like to do kebabs in mine.

I use the basket for loose items and kababs too. I also add a hook and hang it from a hanging rod on my WSM.

Great way to do wings, thighs, basically anything that will
fit works great.  You can stop at anytime give it a quick spray
or brush with sauce or marinade and turn it back on.
Oh yeah, it's also amazing for meatballs and kielbasa!

We have 3 or 4.

More folks will respond, I'm sure, but I'm aware that the rotisserie rings are loose-fitting by design, so fire control becomes a little bit more challenging.  In looking at your pics, it doesn't look off by much (although red looks worse than blue)? If it's close, you should be fine, especially considering the loose fit of the ring. Another thought is whether your lid is no longer perfectly round after what I would imagine would be countless uses? I'd trust the rotisserie ring to be more round since it's new - if your lid is no longer round, it won't sit well on the ring. Many on here have ways to get the lid back into round if that's the case. Good luck!

I always run my rotisserie cooks with all vents wide open. I don't watch or worry about lid therm temps when using my rotisserie.  I control the heat by how close I move the charcoal baskets towards the middle or almost directly below the the item on the spit. It's difficult to control the temps with your vents because of all the air leakage around the rotisserie ring. If you want charring or higher heat, move the baskets closer to the middle.  For whole chickens and turkeys, I place the charcoal baskets offset and position the bird so the legs are closer to the coals and the breast meat is further away from the coals.  For cooks taking longer than an hour, add 9 coals to each charcoal basket after every hour.

Sage advice, because it works!!
