Amazon.com Review

When you need to grill a feast to feed a small army or a heavy turkey for a festive celebration, you need a reliable and durable rotisserie. Besides providing even cooking on all parts of your delicacy, a rotisserie is a pure pleasure to watch. Weber's kettle barbecue rotisserie includes a heavy-duty electric motor, a wooden rod handle, and (more importantly) a counterbalance for smooth turning and less motor wear. When your turkey is too heavy for the rotisserie, the rotisserie turns until the heaviest part of the bird gets to the top of the rotisserie. To prevent this problem, just slide the counterbalance up and down on its handle until your turkey turns smoothly and gently, grilling to a delicious golden brown. This rotisserie fits all 22-1/2-inch kettles. --Rhonda Langdon

This will make you look like a BBQ star - karl michalko, Oct 16, 2009

This rotisserie is made for weber 22 inch charcoal grills. I got this from amazon and it shipped in record time. This is a simple accessory with few parts. There is the skewer with the two prongs that slide over and screw onto it to hold your meat in place. There is a big ring that sits on top of your kettle and the lid goes on that. There's a screw-on counterweight to help with even rotation. And then the motor that slides onto a bracket on the aforementioned ring. That's it. Basically no assembly required. Do you like beer can chicken? You won't bother after using this. I'm not a chef so I can't explain how spinning the meat around makes it so good but it does. Juiciest bird ever, seriously. Also does roasts well with excellent results too. I haven't used this for a turkey but I can't see how that wouldn't be outstanding as well. The motor is quiet, if you care about that kind of thing. The plug attached to it is ridiculously short so you will probably need an extension cord. I recommend keeping the box it comes in for storage because otherwise it's kind of bulky and random in the garage. The only criticism is it's expensive. But it's one of the coolest BBQ things i own and would buy another in a heartbeat if it was stolen or broken. But Weber doesn't make them anymore! So if you are thinking about this, buy now before they are gone forever. I wish I could get extra prongs for the skewer so I could do two of whatever I am doing without have to jerry-rig it.

Love rotisserie - Linda Strahan, Sep 28, 2009

I love my kettle rotisserie. There was very little assembly. Would recommend this product to anyone who enjoys rotisserie chicken from the grocery. Unfortunately receipes did not come with it.

Works great - Alnutt, Sep 15, 2009

This is a great accessory for a great BBQ. Only problem is that it is too expensive. If you enjoy grilling, you must have this.

I love it! - Terry, Aug 25, 2009

My inlaws have one of these and usually do two chickens at a time. It turned out so well, I bought one for myself, and absolutely love it. I only do one chicken, and don't need the counterweight. It takes about 60 - 70 minutes, and it is great to put a pan of potatoes under it to cook and catch the drippings. I would suggest using a non-processed "cowboy" charcoal. I cook smaller birds, but a turkey would require adding some charcoal, and the natural stuff doesn't have the chemicals to worry about. As an aside, I got free shipping from Amazon on this, and it is a bulky, heavier item. I am very happy, and it seems to always get used on holidays, lately (Thanksgiving and Easter, as I have a small family). You will be happy!

Great toy, but contains low-quality parts - Grillin' Greg, Aug 24, 2009

This is a blast to use and does an excellent job of hiding my lack of experience with a charcoal grill. Meats and chicken (brined) can be slightly overcooked, yet still remain moist. My only complaint is regarding the skewer and forks: rust was visible on these items after being used just once. For a product bearing the Weber name, such a disregard for quality is surprising. Weber should charge an extra $5-10 and use good metal for these items.
