ROTISSERIE BURNER IGNITION & USAGE
E) Insert the pointed end of the rotisserie shaft into the motor. Lower the rotisserie
spit into the grooves on the cookbox (4).
F) 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.
G) Turn the motor on.

ROTISSERIE 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 food 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.
• Set rotisserie burner on medium-high based on outside air temperatures.
• 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.
• 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 flavor.
Note: When using the rotisserie burner, grill thermometer will not reflect the temperature
inside the cookbox.

ROTISSERIE FORK STORAGE

B) Store rotisserie forks by placing them on the hooks located on the catch pan holder
within the grill cabinet (1).
