John A Posted April 16, 2018 Report Posted April 16, 2018 I’m getting ready to order a rotisserie for my KK 23. I have the hex bearing on the drive side. Should I get the 8 in cradle or the fork type? Should I get the one grill motor?
Pequod Posted April 16, 2018 Report Posted April 16, 2018 Yes on the OneGrill motor. I have both the cradle and the spit rod. The cradle is a beast to clean, but has its uses. I prefer the spit rod with a set of OctoForks.

Tyrus Posted April 16, 2018 Report Posted April 16, 2018 Get the 50 lb rated motor for your needs, plenty of strength. I also have the spit rod and happy with the results. Octoforks are in the future

tony b Posted April 16, 2018 Report Posted April 16, 2018 I think that I have every permutation/combination of rotisserie accessories possible - cradle w/insert, spit rod & forks, OctoForks, and adjustable basket for the spit rod. I use them all depending on what I'm cooking. I've struggled with the OctoForks. Unless I secure stuff on them with silicon bands or butcher's twine, smaller stuff has a tendency to fall off into the fire. I've lost several chicken thighs that way! Plus, I've cut myself several times on them trying to skewer food onto the tines. So, they have dropped to the bottom of my list of choices. YMMV As far as cleaning all of this gear, I've posted numerous times, including photos, of how great a job Powdered Brewers Wash (PBW) does, with minimal elbow grease. 2
BonFire Posted April 17, 2018 Report Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) I've also tried beef ribs on the octo's but had trouble because of the different lengths of the ribs, hence the shorter one's fell off once the meat started to pull back, like tony b, i had to secure them with twine. Will be trying other cooks with them though Also i just ordered one of these https://www.bbqspitrotisseries.com.au/bbq-spit-rotisserie-battery-operated-motor-8kg-rated think it might be ok for smaller cooks, i saw a 50lb motor mentioned above, anyone know where i can get one in Aus.

tony b Posted April 17, 2018 Report Posted April 17, 2018 Any particular reason that you went with the battery powered version (i.e., lack of a nearby electrical outlet) over their plug-in version (same price and slightly bigger - 10kg load)??

Sorry Tony i missed your question, no real reason, access to power is about 30ft away, just wanted to see if does the job without getting any power cords out. I have since ordered and received their plug-in unit 1
Aussie Ora Posted May 10, 2018 Report Posted May 10, 2018 I have the basket with 8in reducer awesome for holding things together .I was luck to get the first straight rod from Dennis and love it .I have a basket for it that's great for wings. thighs and all those fiddly cooks.at the end of the day rotisserie is a fun way to cook 3
