Rotisserie Cooking
The rotisserie motor is equipped with metal gears and is capable of turning up to a 11 lb. (5kg) cut of meat or
poultry. To achieve the best grilling results, the meat or poultry should be fastened and centered on the center line
of the spit rod to eliminate an out-of-balance condition.
To catch any drips from the rotisserie cooked food, it will be necessary to place a drip pan directly under the food.
If needed, remove the cooking grates to create more room inside the grill for rotisserie cooking. (NOTE: Warming
rack must be removed.) These drippings can be used for making gravies and other sauces to accompany the
cooked meats. This drip pan can also collect grease that could otherwise be stored in your grill chamber and cause
a grease fire. Put half to one inch of water in the drip pan. Fruit juice, wine or marinade may also be added to
enhance the flavor. Do not let the drip pan run dry.
When cooking without a drip pan, close attention must be paid to avoid the risk of a grease fire and it is not
recommended. Turn gas grill off and allow it to cool before removing the drip pan. The fat drippings are highly
flammable and must be handled carefully to avoid injury.
PREPARATION
Ensure a wide enough space to accommodate food and rotisserie rod assembly in a clean environment. Truss
the meat with butcher string or dental floss in three areas. For poultry, tie the wings and legs tightly to prevent
flopping around while spinning.
COOKING ON ROTISSERIE
1. Determine the center placement for the meat or poultry, slide one meat fork on the spit rod and tighten the fork
by twisting the thumb screw.
2. Insert the spit rod through the center of the trussed meat and slide on another meat fork, then secure the fork
by turning the thumb screw.
3. Remove the warming rack. If needed, remove cooking grates.
4. Insert the spit rod into the motor socket. Mount the rod into brackets. Adjust meat forks and test balance.
5. Put a drip pan under the food to catch the food drippings.
6. Ignite the burners, and switch on the rotisserie motor. Turn the control knobs to the desired setting for cooking
the meat. Check to see if the meat is spinning smoothly while cooking.
7. When you have finished using the rotisserie, switch off the motor and turn the control knobs OFF. If you have
finished using the appliance altogether, turn the main gas supply off, too.
8. Using hot pads or gloves to remove the rod from the grill and remove the meat from the rod.
