There was a post on greeneggers of a guy who makes them with an ebay link.
For the same price, you can get a Weber OTG kettle and a Cajun Bandit rotisserie ring, motor, and spit. After using my brother's Weber Performer with Cajun Bandit rotisserie, I bought one. Chris, is an excellent guy to deal with and puts out a great product.

I have an olderlarge Kamado style that either had a roterissery motor mount or was an after thought. Have done two cooks on it in 3 years, a pork belly roast and a whole duck. Don't use it anymore as the regular BGE setup works fine, just some minor tweeks here and there.

The real issue here is that the egg is a poor vessel for rotisserie cooking. The Sam's Club rotisserie ovens are a great example. It is the combination of indirect/brief direct cooking, and the self-basting by rotation that separates a spit bird from an egged one. When a chicken is rotating 45 minutes in to the cook, you can see the rolling grease foam on the skin, essentially frying it on the grill. Done many chickens on the egg, never have witnessed that phenomenon. Flipping the bird every 10 minutes is not the same. Flipping once, again, not the same. The grease renders, and exits the bottom onto the coals. With the all-or-none setup constraints on the egg, the majority of the chicken on a spit would get the direct heat, when on the kettle or gasser, only 1/4 of a turn does due to the two-zone fire setup banking coals or lighting one burner on one side or both, creating an indirect zone.
Another major factor is the egg's ability to create a moister cooking environment. Therefore transferring that moisture into the bird via osmosis.
(j/k) One thing that I am learning by these trials, is that the egg is really good at alot of stuff, not necessarily the best. A tough pill, for even me, to swallow.

Thanks for all the comments. The attachment looks cool, but for the little I used the one on my gas grill, its not worth it. I do want to try the split chicken sometime soon and may try a pork loin roast soon also. Tonight if the weather holds i will be cooking a meatloaf. Tomorrow is either bone in pork chops or veal chops.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo.
