Bosses are the integral features added to a casting for a number of potential functions, including mounting. Critical to die cast parts that need to be mounted, bosses are added to serve as stand-offs and mounting points. Bosses must have universal wall thickness for maximum integrity and strength for the component.
Now with that explained...do you really think the Chinese reverse engineered a joetisserie or simply made a sand mold from a joetisserie thereby achieving said "boss"?

Agree with OP, since food is spinning, heat distribution is no big deal. IMO, it's easier to launch/remove food, or juggle/rebalance food, without the fire directly below your hands. It's also easier to use a drip pan (albeit off-centre) if you want.

Has anyone, and I know this might be a dumb question, just let the chicken spin over the coals? Was it awful?
I am really trying to figure this out and I fear it might be one of those things like how deep I bury my smoking wood. I know how I like to do it, but I don't know that doing it differently will hurt anything. #ItIsOnlyKinkyTheFirstTime.
I tried having two fuel holders either side which helped but the chicken fat still dripped into the base of the Egg, causing some smoke (pic below isn't my Egg, it is the product I tried using). Also the skin didn't crisp up quite as much, maybe because the split containers reduced the direct heat onto the skin from the coals.
If there is something I'm missing to avoid chicken fat dripping and causing a nasty smell, I would love to know and give it a try.

In my case my egg is built in. Right side motor would be nice. Better yet. Bolt on for either side is smarter. Counter weight in BGE. Lay in the Grove for Joe. I made my own single divider and dual dividers

Thanks. This configuration works great for XL, the small grate footprint of the Large may not work as well.

looks to be a two piece cast aluminum wedge shape frame with opening in front. You'll need a rack to hold the stone(s) near felt line. 14" wide pizza is max.

Can't interchange them though (because of the two different hinge systems.)

Ok, so they are a little more expensive, but they have an etched aluminum Big Green Egg logo plate. That can't be cheap to make.
Take my money!
