churchi Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Hi All, I am in the process of purchasing the 32" Komodo from Dennis. Just going through the accessories and i wondered how many of you purchased the rotisserie add-on? I have a separate purpose built spit for cooking big cook ups, however from time to time putting just a small chicken or leg of pork/lamb is a very time consuming job, along with a big clean up. So i am wondering if the rotisserie add-on for the 32" will be a worthwhile purchase. 1. For the people who have them, do you use them much or do you find a purpose built spit would be a better solution? 2. Does using the rotisserie in your Komodo make a huge mess? or dont worry about it as the next cook in it will burn it all off? I am thinking that the Komodo will be perfect for the small spit roasts where i dont need to drag the big spit out. Anyways, just looking for a few opinions on the rotisserie accessory. thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 I never expected to use mine a lot but I did want to be able to have that option. So far I've only done 2 rather large chickens and I didn't really notice a huge mess in the grill afterwards. I'm happy I bought that option and would do it over.

bosco Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 I ordered one for my 32 but not the 23. I like the idea of a larger pit. I have not taken delivery as of yet but know it will be great. I think for the little extra it is worth it to grab now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon B. Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Have only used my unit once but was happy with the first test cook. There is that fun factor with the rotisserie. I bought the kit for my Weber kettle and have made some great food with it. ">http://http://s1013.photobucket.com/user/BeesWacker/media/Kovals%20NASCAR%20Party%2010-21-07%20006.jpg.html'> Looking forward to duplicating with the KK.

MacKenzie Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Jon, that sure is a tasty looking roast and I'd be willing to bet the one you do on the KK will be even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyfish Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 I have one for my 23" and have used it about five to six times since june and am glad I ordered it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjs Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 I have used the rotisserie on my 32" numerous times and love it. I have cooked two15lb turkeys at one time, chicken, pork and beef roast. As far as a mess it is no more than any other cook. Hope this helps.

tony b Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 No experience yet, but it's the #1 item on my KK Wish List! I have the motor already, just waiting on Santa to deliver the roti basket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilburpan Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 So i am wondering if the rotisserie add-on for the 32" will be a worthwhile purchase. 1.

Does using the rotisserie in your Komodo make a huge mess? or dont worry about it as the next cook in it will burn it all off? I have a KK 23â€, with the rotisserie. I love having the rotisserie. As far as the mess, it’s relatively easy to clean. I usually use a kitchen sponge with a scrubby side, some Dawn dishwashing liquid, and clean one rod at a time. There aren’t really any in-the-grill cleanup issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeramicChef Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 @churchi - I have a KK BB 32", aka TheBeast, and just about every accessory you can order. I use my rotisserie about once a week and I love, love, love it. A roti gives the cooks a much different flavor profile than if were just done on the grate. I wouldn't trade my rotisserie for anything at this point. Originally I didn't order the rotisserie with TheBeast. I'd never really used a roti all that much as my equipment didn't allow for that option. Once I ordered the KK Rotisserie and used it for the first time, I was hooked. I can't recommend it enough. Cleanup of the rotisserie parts is quite simple. A little hot soapy water does the trick. You might have to apply a little elbows great to the basket. but not really too much. I find that longer I let the basket soak, the less I have to scrub. As for the internals of the KK, all you have to do is open the vents a bit more than when you were doing the rotisserie cook, run the temp up to 500-550F for about 20 minutes and everything is as clean as it's ever going to get. I'd order the KK rotisserie at the same time you order your 32. To my way of thinking that just makes sense. Welcome to the KK family. Let us know what you decide to do!

churchi Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Hi All, First off thank you all very much for the comments. I was in 2 minds whether to get the rotisserie for my 32" on order, however i am glad i posted here. I will be adding it to the list of accessories to order. Im cool with soaking it in soapy water over night, that seems to be an easy to clean the accessory. I have read there is a new and an old model, how do i tell the difference? Also, does the motor come with the accessory, or do i have to supply this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 You need to get the motor and OneGrill.com has the motor Dennis suggest earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
churchi Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 cheers thanks MacKenzie, can you send me the link on that website for the one that Dennis suggested to purchase? There is quite a few on them on the list. I'm thinking it will be one on this page: http://www.onegrill.com/Electric_Grill_Rotisserie_Motors_s/208.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 I believe it is this one http://www.onegrill.com/Stainless_Electric_Grill_Rotisserie_Spit_Motor_p/4pm05.htm but the web site has changed since I ordered mine and I would strongly suggest you check with Dennis to make certain that this is still the correct motor for the rotisserie that you will be getting. One Grill has good service and it doesn't take very long to get the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRippley Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 As MacKenzie said Onegrill is great to work with, I have a 19" Hi Cap Tall and my motor was spinning the wrong direction so I called them and they walked me through how to reverse it in 30 seconds.
