I love coffee and would love to see an accessory that would use the rotissery to roast coffee beans. A stainless steel basket with swing open door would be ideal. The KK can do so much, so why not roast coffee? Is there onyone else who would like to see this or only me?

Re: KK~ How to install your roti motor video Hi Dennis, Merry Christmas! Now that I have some time off, it BBQ and Grilling time! The replacement shaft sent a while ago still doesn't fit the rotisserie motor. It's too long. I guess I'll have to hacksaw a portion off to get it to work right. I know you don't want to hear my solution one more time because it isn't the most economical option but it does solve the problem. The upgraded rotisserie clamps are great. I just tried making pizza yesterday and the KK excels at this. One can't go wrong. I also read the FireMonkey method of doing jerky so I had to go get some sirloin and some ground wire. The jerky is on now but I am struggling to get up to 175°F. I hope I can load the coco charcoal when the time comes to stoke the KK. FM method is ingeneously clever. Hats off to him. I hope my jerky turns out as good as his did. Thanks for a wonderful cooker and have a prosperous new year. Jim

Re: KK~ How to install your roti motor video I just received my KK and rotisserie(s). Problem: the shaft with the spring was oversized and would not fit into the socket of the OneGrill 50# motor. It needed very much filing and dremel tool grinding to get it to fit the socket. VERY frustrating. Also the shaft with the spring is too long making it impossible to connect the motor while the bracket is bolted in place. The l;ower bolt is also impossible to get the allen wrench on because it is situated behind the slider plate and the distance doesn't allow the wrench to engage. By the way another frustrating episode is that the German made allen wrench did not have enough under size to fit the bolts. With some bolts the allen wrench would not fit into the bolts and others it was too snug and was then difficult to remove. Surely qwe could order the rotisserie with the motor from KK, rather than buy separately. That way everything could be trial fit and work together. The rotisserie caused me, a new KK owner, more frustration than anything else. Don't get me wrong, the KK is the best Kamado period. I'm an engineer and we are picky about what we buy, but the rotisserie, motor, shafts, and mount is something that can be imporved, IMHO.
