Grill Rotisserie Buying Guide
Think chicken is the only thing you can cook on a BBQ rotisserie? Think again! This awesome accessory is versatile enough to cook other food like prime rib, leg of lamb, and even suckling pigs. Though buying an outdoor rotisserie requires a little bit of thought, we break down the options below to make your shopping experience easy and stress-free.
BBQ Rotisserie Kit
Rotisserie kits can either be branded (made to fit a specific grill) or universal (made to fit most standard grills), each of which comes with its own benefits. A branded rotisserie kit removes most of the guesswork from finding the right model, but you must be sure you choose the exact one to match your grill. Universal kits, meanwhile, are produced in different size ranges that you’ll need to be aware of when looking for the right fit. Some brands don’t manufacture grill-specific rotisseries, meaning your only option would be a universal kit.
Outdoor Rotisserie Basket
For added versatility, consider getting a BBQ rotisserie with a basket or cage. The basket will attach to the rod, either through the middle or exterior of the basket. A tumbler basket allows vegetables or other small objects to move freely about during the cooking process, while a flat basket is best used to keep delicate foods like fish from falling apart.
