Preheating for rotisserie cooking:
Whenever you use your Spirit II for rotisserie
cooking, it is important that you preheat
the barbecue irst, with the lid closed. Like a
convection oven, the barbecue should be hot when
you put your food in, to achieve the best results.
To preheat your Spirit II for rotisserie cooking:
1. Check that all burner control knobs are in the
off position and check with the supplied tank scale
that there is suficient gas in your bottle (for LP
models).
2. Open the lid.
3. Remove the cooking grills.
4. Turn the gas supply on at the source.
5. Light all three main burners according to the
instructions in the owner’s guide.
6. Turn the centre burner to LOW and close the lid.
Preheat the barbecue with the outside burners
on HIGH and the centre burner on LOW for 10
minutes.
7. While the barbecue is preheating, set up your
rotisserie kit and put your food in place on the spit
in accordance with the instructions included with
the rotisserie.
Rotisserie cooking:
1. After preheating for 10 minutes, your barbecue
is ready to cook. Leave the centre burner on LOW
and turn the outside burners to TWO NOTCHES
BELOW HIGH (pictured).
2. Open the lid and put the rotisserie, with the food
already in place on spit, on the barbecue. The food
should be positioned above the centre burner.
3. Place one large foil drip pan on the Flavorizer
bars directly beneath your food.
4. Turn on the rotisserie and ensure that it is
turning smoothly. Close the lid and cook for the
estimated cooking time.
Rotisserie cooking
Cooking on a rotisserie adds another exciting dimension to cooking on a barbecue. Food will cook beautifully
and evenly as it turns throughout the cooking process. As the food is constantly rotating, it bastes in its
own juices, resulting in wonderfully moist and tender meat with a delicious outside.
A rotisserie kit is available as an accessory for your Spirit® II and can be used to create mouthwatering, self-
basting spit roasted food. For best results, use the rotisserie with the cooking grills out of the barbecue
and one or two foil drip pans resting on the Flavorizer
TM
bars directly below your food. Set up instructions
are included with the rotisserie kit.
