I have the opportunity to buy a used 22" rotisserie for $50.
I need to find the small weight that goes on the end, at the black ring.

The weight is 327g and 1.75" long x 1.375"dia and sits 4" off axis.Thanks. 4" off axis from what? The only pic I've seen of one was hanging down from the black ring a little bit, like on a string.One more question ... given that most any meat will weigh enough to keep the spit on the ring and offset the motor's weight, what's the purpose of the weight, anyway?That weight is a counterweight so you can balance the load. For example, if you got a chicken with a huge breast, it will strain the motor when the breast goes spinning up, and pull the motor when it's spinning down. You can set the counterweight opposite of the uneven meat to balance to load and get it to spin smoother. The meat is well supported by the roti ring and motor so the weight is purely to even out the rotational load. The weight is offset 4" from the rotational axis:It spins with the rod, not just hang.Why is that pizza roller stuck on your handle ? Esto Perpetua
