When you begin your search for a rotisserie motor replacement, one careful consideration is to know the average weight of the foods you will be cooking. If you are a small family of three or four and you normally roast a small chicken, then the need for a heavy duty motor is not important. However, if you have many parties, gatherings or events at your home and you plan on roasting multiple roasters, whole pigs or large amounts of different meats, than you have to seriously consider the heavy duty motor. The heavy duty motors can handle up to forty-five pounds of food with no problem. If you go with the lighter weight motor and decide to have a big event and overwork the rotisserie, it can become a very dangerous situation.
One careful consideration when looking for a rotisserie motor replacement is that the motor has a multiple speed adjuster. Larger pieces of meat such as roasts and pigs have to turn at a much slower rate in order for the juices to penetrate the skin and cook properly. Smaller foods such as small chickens, burgers and hot dogs can rotate at a much faster speed and produce delicious results.
When shopping online or at your local home center, look for a motor that has AC/DC versatility, which will allow it to run on batteries if you don’t have access to an electrical outlet near your grill. Make sure you know the size of your grill prior to looking for a motor replacement. You want to make sure the power of the motor is correctly matched to the size of your grill for a proper cooking experience.
Make sure that the rotisserie motor replacement that you are considering is UL listed and has a manufacturers warranty. The UL mark on a product means it has been tested and meets the requirements of Underwriters Laboratories. You want to make sure of these small details to ensure many years of backyard barbecuing memories.
