Using Your Weber Rotisserie

Rotisserie is one the easiest and tastiest ways to barbecue. The food constantly rotates over the heat, self-
basting as it does so, resulting in a crispy outer whilst the inside remains wonderfully succulent and moist.

USING THE CHARCOAL ROTISSERIE.

Fits 57cm charcoal Weber barbecues.

  1. Whilst the barbecue is un-lit, remove the spit from the collar, take off the lid of the barbecue and fit the collar into the rim.
  2. Open the barbecue’s lid and bowl vents and set up for in-direct, medium heat by arranging glowing briquettes on each side of the charcoal grate. Pour a little water into a drip tray and place between the glowing briquettes.
  3. To set up your rotisserie spit, skewer your meat through the middle (if it has a central bone, keep as close to this as possible). Make sure the meat is in the middle of the spit and secure with the holding forks.
  4. Slide the sharp end of the spit into the hole in the collar and through to the motor. Lower the other end into the notch on the collar, making sure the narrowest part of the spit is captured by the notch.
  5. Connect the power, switch on the rotisserie motor and the food will begin to rotate. Close the barbecue lid and cook according to your recipe.

N.B. If the barbecue is burning too hot, close the lid vent slightly.

USING THE Q ROTISSERIE



3 models available, to fit all Weber Q barbecues.

  1. Whilst the barbecue is un-lit, remove the spit from the shield, lift the lid of the barbecue and fit the shield into the rim. The shield is used to increase the space inside the barbecue, allowing the loaded rotisserie to turn.
  2. Light the burner(s) on full and allow to pre-heat with the lid down for 5-10 minutes before either turning off the middle burner (Q3000 series) or turning the single burner to low.
  3. To set up your rotisserie spit, skewer your meat through the middle (if it has a central bone, keep as close to this as possible). Make sure the meat is in the middle of the spit and secure with the holding forks.
  4. Slide the sharp end of the spit into the hole in the motor and lower the other end into the notch on the shield, making sure the narrowest part of the spit is captured by the notch.
  5. Connect the power, switch on rotisserie motor and the food will begin to rotate. Close the barbecue lid and cook according to your recipe.

USING THE GAS ROTISSERIE



Models available for all 3-burner gas barbecues. Rotisserie is standard on Summit.

  1. Light the burners on full and allow to pre-heat with the lid down for 5-10 minutes before turning off the middle burner.
  2. To set up your rotisserie spit, skewer your meat through the middle (if it has a central bone, keep as close to this as possible). Make sure the meat is in the middle of the spit and secure with the holding forks.
  3. Slide the sharp end of the spit into the hole in the motor and lower the other end into the notch on the the other side of the barbecue, making sure the narrowest part of the spit is captured by the notch.
  4. Connect the power, switch on rotisserie motor and the food will begin to rotate.
  5. Close the barbecue lid and cook according to your recipe.

N.B. Summit barbecues have an infra-red burner in them. If using this, it should be turned off after the first 20 minutes of cooking, and the meat finished over indirect heat.
