EGGARY Posted May 6, 2017 Report Posted May 6, 2017 I want to get a Rotisserie Motor that will be used on the 32" KK. I am looking at the First Grill Website. Which Motor do any of you have ? Is the Motor with the Chord and 50lb. Capacity overkill? Anyone here use the Rotisserie Baskets ?
EGGARY Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Posted May 6, 2017 Another question, please. Do I need a Bracket and if so, which one? Thanks. Gary
tony b Posted May 6, 2017 Report Posted May 6, 2017 Most of us have the smaller motor size (4pm05). Unless you plan to do baby suckling pigs, you don't need that big of a motor. The mounting brack should have come with your KK. Dennis supplies those with the rotisserie basket, along with the connecting shaft linkage between the motor and the bearing in the side of the KK.
Keith OctoForks Posted May 6, 2017 Report Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) I carry the 50 lb corded on my website. They're better geared, and definitely solid motors...it's all in the gearing. Motors definitely aren't created equal. Baskets? Yes the flat baskets can come in handy for lots of things it's hard to put on the spit forks. Edited May 6, 2017 by Keith OctoForks
EGGARY Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Posted May 6, 2017 What about the Shaft part that goes between the Motor and the KK ? Is that sold separately? 1

Aussie Ora Posted May 7, 2017 Report Posted May 7, 2017 What about the Shaft part that goes between the Motor and the KK ? Is that sold separately? EGGARY the bracket comes with the KK and you get the shafts when you order the rotisserie basket or rodSent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk
EGGARY Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Posted May 7, 2017 Aussie, Thank you for letting me know. I didn't get any one of those. I will call Dennis on Monday. 1

Bucky96 Posted May 12, 2017 Report Posted May 12, 2017 Has anyone tried the battery operated version of the motor?

They're not as quiet as the corded but definitely nothing wrong with it and the batteries last quite while. If you want to run a cord to it you can with an AC adapter. https://octoforks.com/product/onegrill-chrome-cordless-battery-operated-grill-rotisserie-motor-w-ac-adapter/
DennisLinkletter Posted May 12, 2017 Report Posted May 12, 2017 Sorry to mention this but the sound of those battery powered ones is let's just say.. "less than pleasant" they sound like they are out of oil and about to self-destruct but then they don't and keep whining and whining.. LOL At least the one somebody sent me.. 1

Dennis the ones I have don't do that but they're most definitely not as quiet as the corded. Never heard the whining sound so far though. I'll shoot a short video the next time I use it....I'll want some load on it though. Maybe I'll spin a couple of yard birds or something

My go2 is corded. The battery is a good back up if you have a traveling cooker...like it came in handy yesterday for me. I could have plugged in but with kids and people running all over the place I could see someone tripping over the cord. Since the KK's pretty much stay put the electric is the way to go....unless of course you lose power and have no generator. lol 1
