Thanks, All.
Jon - Yes, I did use the regular drip pan. No interference with the rotisserie basket at all (for the short time it was running!)
Susan - I soaked the basket in a bucket of PBW (Powdered Brewers Wash - amp'ed up OxyClean) for several hours. Everything sponged right off. Looks almost new again.
Called One Grill this morning and TAH-DAH, we have a motor that spins in the "correct" direction. It was pretty simple, actually. I am posting the instructions in the "Maintenance" thread for posterity.
