    @chrisc133 got one recently.

    The rib roast looked good like it had some great crust, but just going by appearance I would still rather do a reverse sear and skip the whole spinning rig.

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

    Interesting....


    Sorry, I did a search for JOTISSERIE before posting and no results were found.

    I thought it looked neat, doesn't seem that essential, but neat. I'd be curious to read some reviews.

    The only thing for me is that for years I got a rotisserie with every single gasser I I ever owned. And I NEVER EVER used it.

    Not that I don't think it's a great idea; hell, I got one with ever single gasser I ever owned. But I never used it.

    Now if I'm dumping $250 on something, it had better be something that solves an issue, not something that I think is really cool. For $250 I could get an AR, or a Weber kettle, or an Akorn so that I could have a second kamado. Or I could dump $250 on a good knife, or on a BBQ class. Or on SRF meat. But no more rotisseries.

    Scottie Johnson's cancersuckschicago.com's class is $250, not including lodging. Harry Soo's (SlapYoDaddy) class is $375 plus lodging.

    Edit: My source was wrong, Scottie Johnson's class is $650. Harry Soo's went up to $395 for 2016.

    I've not been to any of them, so I can't speak to the relative values. And honestly, I'm probably not going to any of them anyway, not even for $250. Well, I could go to Scottie Johnson's, because it is in Chicago and my sister lives there, so I could tie it in with a visit to family. But even then, it would be an extra.

    Looks like the base is cast. Nice. Hope they release a larger version.

    Interesting, the redneck in me is having a crazy thought ... build a wedge-like circular wooden ramp, wrap it in aluminum foil for heat protection (probably redundant since rotisserie cooks are usually low or medium temp), and cut a couple of notches to accommodate a generic rotisserie?  :s

    aluminum flashing would be more protection and longer lasting than foil BUT I'd still be concerned about the wood catching fire so how about some fireproof insulation between the wood and the flashing?

    Saw one for the first time last weekend. Quality looked very good but the fit/size was terrible. IMO, it was to small in diameter and it could be moved front to back or left to right far enough to leave large air gaps. VERY disappointed in the fit. Enough that I would never think of purchasing.
    I just don't understand the reasoning for the poor fit.
    Thank you,

    I took the rotisserie motor and spit off the last gasser I had.  Never used it but it does still work.  Maybe I can rig it up......like a RTIC version of the Jotisserie.
