The first thing you should consider when buying a rotisserie kit is the length of the spit rod. Ranging from 20 inches to over 40 inches, this feature is by far the most important to research. Depending on the size of your grill, you could easily fit two chickens on one rod with the longer rod, cutting cooking times down by cooking much more food in the same amount
of time. Many kits also come with spit extenders that allow even more room for food.
Secondly, when considering which rotisserie kit to buy, you need to be looking at the motor. If you have a particular brand you like, then you need to look for some features of the motor that will ensure years of happy cooking. One of the most overlooked features is the twin direction motor. Many rotisseries like the Ronco brand, actually change’s direction whenever you open the glass enclosure. A twin direction motor is a great feature for ensuring the meats are getting those juices over the entire exterior of the food.
The rest of your rotisserie kit can contain the forks, adjustable mounting brackets, counterweights and a rotisserie basket. Of these items you should be most concerned with the forks. You want a heavy duty fork that will not bend or give way to the heavier meats that you could be feeding your family with. Many of the heavy duty forks can easily pierce roasters or even smaller turkeys with the slightest of ease. You will enjoy many years of cooking with a heavier fork that will withstand the weights of the food time after time. Do yourself a favor now and invest a little time online researching kits and reading the reviews and comparing the contents and prices before you lay out any money. The time you invest now researching a rotisserie kit over a cup of coffee will ensure years of cooking enjoyment.
