I've seen people use basic rotisserie kits with their BGEs. Obviously quite a bit cheaper.

I think that is about what I paid at the Costco road show a month ago, which I thought was a great price.

I coulda swore there was a BGE-specific rotisserie, that was wedge-shaped so the lid could seal, but I can't find it anywhere.
Am I losing my marbles?

Googling to see how that’s rigged...

i would say yes, and after breaking my KJ rotisserie and having it replaced without hassle. Its a great price. Great support, and I love the product. I have built many rotisseries, this is the easiest to use. Need some high heat gloves for sure. If you get the basket here is a tip or two. the tight mesh cross patterns keep food from falling out. The larger baskets don't do shrimp well. fyi. And cooking spray like pam works well to make clean up easier. The round basket below holds 5lbs of wings with ease. However, you will end up with two baskets so one can be in use while the other is ready to load. Im a rotisserie nut job I guess. but 5 slabs at a time while camping is always fun to watch.

I think I’m going to buy as well - but price looks the same on amazon so not sure how special this deal is? Also not sure difference in the BJ and TJ Models?

It had dropped down to $172 recently on Amazon for a short time. It's usually much higher on there.

Made wings with the Joetisserie last night. My wife said "Keep making me wings like that and you can do anything you want and I'll never leave you." Get off the fence!

Going to break er in with simple whole chickens. How’s the weatherproofing on this thing?

EzraBrooks · August 2020

I wouldn't use it in the rain, don't want the motor getting wet.

nealmgb · August 2020

Following thread. Haven’t taken mine out of the box yet.

MaskedMarvel · August 2020

There’s gotta be some trick to tying chickens to this. They’re moving around a lot as it turns..

but! It’s on it’s way!!

When I was spinning a bunch on my Weber Kettle I bought a second set of forks. Each bird was then attached at both ends.

In a pinch perhaps bamboo skewers sharpened at both ends can be used to connect the birds?

Maybe next time...

That one bird broke completely in half right before I opened the egg to pull them out.

so does anyone know if KJ is going to release an updated version???

They might, but the main goal is to spin. Not sure if a future update would be good or bad. They might make it from cheaper material or somehow make it proprietary to only work with KJ.
Sometimes you just have to jump.

What would need updating??

DFW · August 2020

Variable speed would be nice.

Does any grill manufacturer offer a variable speed motor? I know I've never seen one but wouldn't be surprised if they exist.

What would be a usable/useful rpm range? I can imagine what would happen if your chicken - which isn't likely to be perfectly balanced to begin with - were sped up from the normal 5 or 6 rpm to something like 30rpm.

speed51133 · August 2020

I am just thinking why did KJ slash pricing? Either a phase out or a new model is my guess.

The motor is weak, that could use beefing up.
