Saw this in my YouTube feed last night, pretty cool way to fit a rotisserie on a Kamado. Thought people here might be interested since most Joe accessories fit on a large BGE. I've used a few of this guys recipes... he's good but boring as hell.

Interesting find.
Somewhere, someone will buy it.

Saw this as well...looking forward to it.
By the way, for those here with blood that runs green, John confirmed in the comments it will fit the Large BGE.Augusta, GA

Looks solid. Gotta hand it to KJ, the IH of ceramic. They are comin' up with some cool accessories.
Wonder if it will take D batteries like the CB and Auspit.
How much $$$?BrandonQuad Cities

That looks pretty slick.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

kJ did not come up with, some guy in Ohio designed it couple years ago. He tried selling them on ebay but not sure he had much luck.
I made one similar for my medium egg back in 2006. It's a do something different cook but after that itch has been scratched, the unit is a pain to store, keep clean, always gotta run a cord and such.
One thing I found is as the food spins, it can drop drop into the fire ring. I am sure that is the case on the kjoe classic, as it's 3.5" or so from the fire ring to felt line. It can be a challenge to spin stuff direct and not burn it.

Man, I knew he'd dropped a bunch of weight, but after digging and finding one of his older videos I didn't realize how much. Glad he did it. I had forgotten about Man Cave Meals, I used to watch that!BGE XL- Tomball, TX

I would be interested if they had one to fit the XL. That's about the only thing I miss from my gas grill.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo.

October is when they are saying it will be out. $249.00 The one for The Big Joe should be out in January haven't seen a price for it.

Looks like a good adaptation to a kamado. Not sure it's a must have, but cool nonetheless.
Kamado Joe seems to be beating BGE in way of development lately. Hopefully BGE has some good stuff in the works.

Do you guys see any problems with the motor not having enough clearance if the grill is in a table? It appears the bottom of the motor is around even with the gasket....so I wouldn't think so.Augusta, GA

Pretty cool design. I have never cooked on a rotisserie, may have to look in to it when it comes out
-
I think the design is very well thought out, what scares me is that is a bit too close to the fire. I can see some drippings drop and boom your beautiful chicken is toast!

Very interested. Have a rotisserie for the winters and it's great.BGE Large and MiniMax, Napolean 500. Obsessed with rotisserie.

Guess I'll be in the minority as this doesn't interest me at all.

you can see how the leg and wings can burn, as they are closer to the heat on spinning.

Pretty interesting, but it would be hard for me to see how that would be better than a spatchcocked bird. Just saying......................John in the Willamette Valley of Oregon

Chicken is no longer cooked on the egg any method, post rotisserie.
IMO, the egg is not the right vessel for rotisserie cooking. Another reason for me to own another grill.
Always interested to see people creating new products. I'm sure there are other rotisserie cooks that could benefit from more direct heat/char.BrandonQuad Cities

He posted a prime rib on the rotisserie over the weekend, said he'd do a chicken next. Curious to see if his legs and wings get charred.
From what it looks like, it won't fit on my XL. Oh well... guess I need to look into getting a large as well. Because you know... versatility and all...BGE XL- Tomball, TX

I think it would work much better on the XL with the KJ Big Joe version if it hits the market. The extra large lump grate would be great for duel zone and or adding a drip tray.
Very similar to the way I cook the big bird every year on my Weber 22".
Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas -
I agree, and would seriously consider one at $250 if I had an XL, and they made one for it.....and I didn't have a Cajun Bandit for the Weeber.
It will be more challenging to run a two zone in the large though.BrandonQuad Cities
"If yer gonna denigrate, familiarity with the subject is helpful." -
On John's prime rib, not much char on the two side ends, only on the part spinning around.
setting up indirect helps but still a busy cook when compared to conventional ceramic cooks for basically same results.

@tjv,
Looks like a banked two-zone is the way to go. Still think this would be best in the XL, but doable in the L.
Agree, don't really see the point in doing an all indirect rotisserie cook on the egg or any vessel. You need a combination of both direct and indirect. (two-zone)
Think he could've went higher on temp and picked a couple of 4lbers, instead of a 7, but looks promising for those interested.

Not interested at that price point. I had one on my gas grill pre Egg days and hardly ever used it. Not sure I'd use it much on the Egg either.
