I have one for my large, fit is pretty good but if you're cooking rotiss style who cares. Mine is dedicated for it, fits two decent size chickens. No complaints from my guests.

I have one and I like it.

Just open the dome and it sits one the base. No bolting or anything. Drop on, lift off.Alton said:Is it easy to remove and put back on?Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas -
Like others have said, you just put it in your open egg, lift it out when you are done. Ive only used mine a few times in the year I have had it. I need to fire it up again to give it another go. I started hanging chicken in my WSM over the summer and I havent had chicken better any other way. So the joetisserie is in the shed, for now.

That looks like an accessori CGS could figure out for us BGE'ers...

@cookingdude555... i like the idea!!!

Yep very easy. Just don't forget to take off the motor if you leave the egg outside in the rain.Alton said:Is it easy to remove and put back on?

I found only one picture of the joetisserie in action. It did produce a really juicy bird.

@cookingdude555 I did that in my PBC too. Came out too smoky for our liking, compared to chicken cooked in Traeger. I'm thinking of using three firebricks at an angle to prop up a pizza stone or platesetter above the lump basket.
Did you use the water pan in the WSM?

@Canugghead, no, hanging high above the fire, direct. I am using Weber briqs (my favorite, especially on sale at target or home depot at year end for 3.50/20 lbs). I dont use any smoke wood, and when I load the WSM with the charcoal, it is fully lit from the chimney (1 full weber chimney). The flavor reminds me almost dead on of huli huli chicken you get at carnivals where their chicken is cooked over the trailer rotisserie using mesquite charcoal. Only this is lighter. I cake it with costco's bbq rub seasoning (not sure the brand, I am at work), and I push the rub under the skin too.Canugghead said:@cookingdude555 I did that in my PBC too.

Its probably a preference thing, I am selling my green mountain grill (similar to traeger) due to low smoke flavor. So if you like the traeger product, this method probably wouldn't be best for you. Do you like ribs or other cuts hung over the fire in your PBC? I have tried ribs too, but chicken was the best. I overcooked the ribs, not being familiar with the method. -
Apology to OP for thread-jacking. @cookingdude555 I've only used the PBC couple of times, I overcooked the ribs too! I heard whole turkey cooked hung is really good. Will experiment with lighting more brigs and insert the stone.

Yeah the hijacking was my fault.

I have one for my Large. I've used it a couple of times and enjoy it.
WRT: Installation and removal - it is quite easy. The Ring just pops onto the bottom of the BGE and you close the lid on it. My biggest problem was that I wanted to do a drip pan and I couldn't position the product properly. I finally figured out that the reason people use rotisseries is for the self basting and the drips would be deminimis. After trying several times, I figured out how to center the product on the skewer.

I made one a few years ago. Worked ok, but space is an issue. Bought a Pitbarrel a couple years ago; it is an outstanding hanging poultry cooker.

I have one and use it on my XL. Works great, biggest problem I have is getting the meat centered and balanced on the spit, not that the imbalance significantly hinders the final product. Install and removal is simple and easy, just the motor and the ring, and they simply lift off.Tampa Bay, Florida

Can someone explain how the lid closes once you put it on? I’m sure it’s something simple but I can’t picture it.
-
It doesn’t close all the way. It’s tapered so it’s thinner in the back. If you open your egg two inches, it’s shaped to fill that gap.
-
@cookingdude555 Thank you, that makes sense

Can't wait for the snow to melt so I can start using it again

What does snow have to do with it? Mine works just fine when the ground is white.bangor307 said:Can't wait for the snow to melt so I can start using it againHighland, MI

There was a a 5' drift next to it until recently. Finally melted away so I'm good to go again. I'm not allowed to shovel due to some health problems.
-
I use mine at least once a month, mainly for chicken, but I did make one small modification.

I went to Costco yesterday and they had a big display with those red earns and they had these sitting there too. Before I could get out of the store a couple chickens and a joetisserie and a bag of lump jumped into the card. The Joe lump was $21 for a 30lbs bag. I've never used but I'll give it a whirl for that price(sorry STL)
I used Rockwood and a touch of maple wood though for the maiden cook and I really like it. Definitely a different result than just going direct or indirect although all ways make an excellent result.
I can see myself using this more often and it won't become a bunch of wires in the corner as my flameboss has.
I would say that one could live without it, but why?
