Amazon.com Review
When you need to grill a feast to feed a small army or a heavy turkey for a festive celebration, you need a reliable and durable rotisserie. Besides providing even cooking on all parts of your delicacy, a rotisserie is a pure pleasure to watch. Weber's gas barbecue rotisserie includes a heavy-duty electric motor with an on/off switch, a wooden rod handle, and (more importantly) a counterbalance for smooth turning and less motor wear. When your turkey is too heavy for the rotisserie, the rotisserie turns until the heaviest part of the bird gets to the top of the rotisserie. To prevent this problem, just slide the counterbalance up and down on its handle until your turkey turns smoothly and gently, grilling to a delicious golden brown. --Rhonda Langdon

What a great product! We've cooked huge slabs of beef on this and it works fantastic! Highly recommended if you have a Weber grill.

When I see an item with 1 star, it tells me that item is really bad and to avoid it at all costs. The reviewer stated that the EZ-Que was a better rotisserie, but otherwise had nothing to say about the Weber.
I agree the EZ-Que is a novel and well made piece of equipment, which sells for a lot more money than the Weber rotisserie. The cradle/cage design is easier to load than a traditional spit, and anyone who wants to spend $130 for one is encouraged to get theirs.
(Note: EZ-Que supplies Weber with their cradles, which Weber sells under their own brand name with the Weber motor for $90; substantially less than EZ-Que's price. You can get it here on Amazon if you prefer that style to the traditional spit.)
I have 2 Weber rotiserries, one for the gas grill, one for the kettle. And while I agree the EZ-Que cradles are a better design, the Weber spits are well made and do a good job. The mounting on a Genesis is good and secure. The materials are good. The spit is solid feeling, the counterbalance is nicely made, the motor works well. I can fit 2 whole chickens on the spit and the motor doesn't strain to turn them. The tines that hold the food are large and strong. The food cooked on a rotisserie is delicious.
One reviewer complained about the cord length. Yes, the cord is just a pigtail. You need an extension cord.
Anyways, the Weber is a good rotisserie and I am giving it 4 stars. The 1-star reviewer was off the mark.

Unlike the natural gas grill that I purchased and absolutely loved, this item is just ok. It works as it should, but (1) the counter weight system is cumbersome, and leads me to worry that maybe the motor is underpowered, (2) although the spit is plenty long and the grill chamber is big enough to handle at least two birds, the set only includes two stabilizing forks, and (3) the elctric cord is very short.

I'm an admitted Weberholic; I don't think that better equipment is made for outdoor grilling, and their cookbooks are outstanding. I don't know why I thought that using a rotisserie was too complicated, but when I saw a recipe in Weber's Big Book of Grilling for orange saffron chicken, I decided to add this unit to my Genisis Grill.
The installation was easy, even in Northern Michigan's cold: two bolts attach the motor bracket to pre-drilled holes in the grill, and you're ready to go.
The counter weight, which other reviewers discuss, seems, so far, unnecessary. I may try it with heavier meats, but the whole chicken cooked beautifully in a little over an hour. The motor seems ample to turn the spit without strain.
I am delighted with this product and urge serious grillers to give it a try. I suspect, like me, it will get a lot of use. Two caveats: (1) follow the directions and do not let the motor get wet in bad weather, and,(2)have a grounded extension cord handy, because the unit's cord is only about three feet long.

This rotisserie fits my Genesis Silver B just fine. I normally use it for chicken and duck. They turn out crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. The taste, smell and color of the skin can't be described in words. It is basically impossible to overcook a chicken. At worse, the skin turns very dark, but the insides are still very juicy. I normally set a timer and then walk away. This rotisserie comes with two forks. Another reviewer said Weber won't sell just the basket--you have to buy another motor instead. Fortunately I found another basket that fits--a $10 Charbroil 4744 from the big orange home center. Regarding the weight, I haven't found the need to use it but I'm glad they included it just in case. The only reason I'm giving it four stars is because the cord is too short. When the warranty expires, I plan to take the motor apart and install a longer cord.
