Picking the best rotisserie kit

Spit-roasted chicken, pork, and other meat is one of the tastiest things you can make, so it’s worth your time to know how to pick the best rotisserie kit. Kits are available for nearly every brand of barbeque grill on the market, and there are also “universal” kits designed to fit most brands. Your best bet is to select one that is meant to fit the make and model of your grill. Universal kits may not fit securely, which means you risk having your food burn or collapse onto the coals or burners. If you buy a universal kit, there may be some trial and error involved in getting it to work well with your grill.

Kits are available for charcoal, gas, and electric grills. There are also infrared rotisserie kits which supply their own heat source. They are not intended to be used simultaneously with gas or charcoal fire.

There are two key structural elements to consider when choosing the best rotisserie grill kit: the length of the spit and the power of the motor. To make the best choice, you need to

know what kind of food you would like to roast and how large it is and how much it weighs. If you just roast a chicken under five pounds, or a couple Cornish game hens, or a small pork loin roast, you will not need a long spit or a heavy-duty motor. On the other hand, if you want to roast a turkey, multiple chickens, or anything weighing several pounds to fifty pounds, you’ll need a much larger spit and more powerful motor.

The best rotisserie grill kit has a range of attachments you can add to expand your cooking repertoire. A popular attachment is the grilling basket, a mesh container which holds food that does not skewer well such as whole fish or cut-up vegetables. Consider the size of the mesh, as well–a fine mesh grid will not allow any pieces of food to fall out. Some brands also offer heavy-duty spit forks which hold larger roasts and turkeys securely.

The power of the motor is important in a rotisserie kit, but so is having a variable speed. Some foods are best done when rotated quickly, such as Cornish game hens, but others, such as large roasts and turkeys, cook better when rotated slowly. You’ll likely want to have this feature so you can cook many different kinds of food successfully.

Spit-roasting food on a grill is fun and convenient, since you don’t have to watch it every minute. Now that you know how to pick the best rotisserie kit, you can enjoy tasty spit-turned chickens and roasts from your barbecue grill.
