USING THE ROTISSERIE
Note - Before using your rotisserie, measure your food at the widest point. If it exceeds 9 1/2” (241.8mm), it is too large to fit the rotisserie. If it is too large, food can be prepared using a roast holder and the Indirect Cooking Method.

be grounded electrically in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code: ANSI Z 223.1/NFPA 54, or CAN/CGA- B149.1.
WARNING: Setup up the rotisserie with food before lighting rotisserie burner.
OPERATING
1)Remove rotisserie shaft from grill. Remove one spit fork.
2)Push the rotisserie shaft through the center of the food.
3)Slide the spit fork onto the shaft. Insert the tines of both spit forks into the food. The food should be centered on the shaft. Tighten the spit fork screws
4)Place the motor in the bracket, slide to lock.
5)Insert the pointed end of the rotisserie shaft into the motor. Place the handle end of the rotisserie onto the support rollers.
6)The rotisserie shaft should rotate so that the heavy side of the meat or poultry rotates down to the bottom. Large cuts may require the removal of the cooking grates and warming rack to allow full rotation of the shaft. Remount the food if necessary for better balance.
7)Turn the motor on.
COOKING
•Meats (except poultry and ground meat) should be brought to room temperature before cooking. (20 to 30 minutes should be adequate for most foods. If frozen defrost completely before cooking.)
•Tie meat or poultry with a string, if necessary, to make the shape as uniform as possible before putting it on the spit.
•Remove cooking grates and warming rack to allow food to turn freely.
•Follow lighting instructions for rotisserie burner on next page.
•Set rotisserie burner on
•Place food within area of burner.
•If you wish to save drippings for gravy, place a drip pan directly under the food on top of the Flavorizer® bars.
•Food preparation steps are the same for rotisserie cooking as for regular cooking. Indicated timing in the cookbook will be the same.
•All cooking is done with the lid closed.
•If foods are too heavy or are irregular shapes, they may not rotate well and should be cooked by the Indirect Method without using the rotisserie.
•Smoker can be used in conjunction with rotisserie for more smoke fl avor.
Note - When using the rotisserie burner, grill thermometer will not reflect the
temperature inside the cooking box.
