I've had one for three or four years now. I cook our Thanksgiving turkey on it! I use two charcoal baskets, one on each side of the spit. It cooks a 16lbs. bird in about 2.5 hours. I know that sounds crazy, but trust me, it is amazing. Great flavor and VERY juicy. Meat just doesn't dry out on the rotisserie for whatever reason. So keep those lemons and use them in your Coronas! Thanks for sharing!
@@horacejones5226 I just look back at my last turkey cook on my Meater thermometer app, it showed the highest ambient temp was 325. It showed the cook was for 2 hrs & 40 mins. That was around a 16 lbs bird. I don't know how it does it, but it does. You will never want a turkey cooked any other way.
@@GallaghersGrub a good wireless thermometer is a must. The temp gauge on the lid will be skewed by the bird. I have the Meater +. Well worth the money. Reach out to them, they might send you one to review! Keep on Grilling! 💪💪💪! -Shook
I just got one for Christmas! I can't wait to use it. So, I did a search for videos and yours is the first one I watched. Concise and to the point. I saw one of your comments below that you've done additional cooks with other meats and I'm about to dive in. Thanks!
There's absolutely nothing like a rotisserie chicken over hot coals! You cooked that to perfection. I bought a Cajun Bandit which looks a lot like Only Fire but not exactly. I've done pork loin and stacked some chicken thighs on the spit and everyone was happy. Thanks for sharing! Let's eat!!!
Oh I forgot! You can also roast some potatoes in an aluminum basket under the chicken, and let the juices drip on the potatoes! Cut the potatoes in quarters, season them with salt, peber, thime and rosemary! That is soooo good!!👍😁😄 It takes the same amount of time for both the chicken and potatoes!
Great video mate. Your technique is on point 👍🏽. The bird looked superb. I have a Weber with rotisserie and NOTHING gets close to the juiciness and flavour of rotisserie chook over charcoal!
I've done three chickens on the rotisserie now, great each time. A bit heavy with the wood smoke on my last cook so need to limit the wood chunks. Really excellent accessory.
I used mine for the first time today. All went well but it's difficult to clean up the Spitz. Also you can't snuff the fire out by putting the lid on the kettle unless you remove the rotisserie adapter first. The holes for the skewer allow to much air intake to the inside of the kettle. The coals keep on burning. I always reuse any un-burned charcoals. No need to let them burn away after the cook.
Great looking rotisserie. Like someone else commented I to have a similar rotisserie from Cajun Bandit. Love it so much I've been thinking about getting a second one ( I have 4 webber kettles so it would be nice to be able to do rotisserie on two cookers for party's). And something I've wanted to do for a couple of years and maybe I'll do it next week is plac3 it in one of my two 22" Webber Smoky Mountain smokers. Reason is it's tall enough to keep the bird up out of possible flame ups. So I could place charcoal directly under the bird/birds ( I think if one is careful you could fit two yard birds on one spit) so as to benefit from the extra flavor from meat juices drippings on the coals. Hmmm. I don't understand why more folks don't do rotisserie. It was the original "set it and forget it " style of bbq LONG before pellet cookers came along way back in the 50's and 60's. Sir always great to see your videos. As always I'm not short on words. It must be my mostly Irish "gift of gab"😂. May you and your family have a great day. 😊🌤🍷
Another fantastic video Brian🤤 I get so hungry🍗 I also have a rotisserie for my Weber Kettle, have been using it for years now! I make duck for christmas, with just salt/peber inside and outside, and then fill the inside with apples and oranges! I then use applewood for the smoke! The taste is fantastic! Cheers from Denmark👍👍
I bought the weber rotisserie many years ago but for some reason I haven't used it a lot. Maybe time to gather the parts together and try again. Thanks for all the inspiration.
Awesome I have one as well an I use all the time now you going to make me go get a chicken for tonight's dinner an put it on my rotisserie for my Weber kettle 👍👍👍👍💯💥
Pro tip: Look up Kenji Lopez Alt's recipe for roasted chicken and try that on a rotisserie. Just salting overnight on a sheet pan with baking powder and salt will yield in the most absurdly juicy bird you've ever tasted.
Just bought this an was wondering does it matter where you put the counter weight on that side? Any special way it supposed to go? Thanks so much and look forward to cooking some rotisserie
I have my counter balance about a 1/2 centimeter from the handle. One thing about the round part that goes in front of the counter balance and rests on the ring. In this video, I have it on backwards. The locking screw should go inside the grill, so as to not touch the lid as it rotates.
I debated that. My first attempt I used hardwood lump on just one side, but the fire got too hot and burned the skin. I figured using briquettes would solve that problem. Then I figured using briquettes on both sides might be about the same as the lump on one side and be too hot.
Not to butt in, but I've been doing turkeys on this same setup for about 2 or 3 years now and always have amazing results. I use the two Weber baskets and adjust the vents to avoid burning the skin. If you are buying the OnlyFire kit, do yourself a favor and get the pizza kit too. You'll thank me. I upgraded to a 9 amp motor but find that the included 4 amp is strong enough for a good sized turkey, (I've done up to 15 lbs).
Frank is right, a rotisserie chicken doesn’t last long. For the price of a set of forks, your fuel will do double duty. The forks will pay for themselves.

@@Shookmeister Thanks for the info. I just purchased the MEATER block and looking forward to using it.
That sounds great. I wondered if it would hold a turkey's weight. I'll have to give it a try. Cheers!

Yes, this rotisserie is really winning me over. Just super fun. Looks cool. And makes a damn good chicken. Cheers Lumberjack!
I too have the excellent Cajun Bandit Rotisserie for my Weber Performer Deluxe Kettle😊
Too bad Cajun Bandit doesn’t sell them anymore. Been out of stock for about two years and won’t be getting more.
@@lowdownone wow! That's a bummer. There must be some other affordable options out there.
Thanks great review and straight to the point!
For about $100, this thing is great and a lot of fun. Great for showing off to guests too. Cheers!

Great idea! I will try that next. Thanks Wess.
Love your Vids thats next on my list a rotisserie yummo made me hungry just looking.
Pretty delicious and fun too! Cheers!
I just bought the OnlyFire to make pizza primarily but I do plan on doing rotisserie chicken on it like you do.
Your chicken looks simply amazing.
I also just made a rotisserie duck video and a pork loin in my Thermopro Tempspike review video. Check those out as well. Cheers James!

This is a great recipe. The knife on the other hand is just a nice looking knife I picked up at Walmart. It's nothing special.
That chicken looked perfect. Great video.
It was! Thanks Erin.
Boy that looked amazing so good....
Rotisserie chicken is one of the best ways to make chicken, for sure. Cheers!
Hi Brian, new sub here. My only fire setup is due today from Amazon. Can’t wait to try it out. Cheers!

Always great to hear from you, Victor. 4 Weber Kettles and 2 Smoky Mountains! My wife would kill me! I do have my eye on a pit barrel cooker though.

Oooh, I'd love to try a duck on the rotisserie. That sounds amazing with the fruit. Thanks for the idea. Cheers!
@@GallaghersGrub You´re welcome! It just gives the duck so much taste! You can also add prunes! That is almost a must in Denmark😁

What the hell are you doing with your life??? Mowing the lawn and putting mulch around the house? Get your rotisserie together and grill some chicken.
My favourite way of getting the best out of a Weber kettle 👌
Mine too. I love the rotisserie. Cheers!
Love doing my chicken that way and smoke it at the same time. Spot on mate 🇬🇧
Really great for sure. Cheers Stuart!
Curious if charcoal on side give you a juicer chicken or if it even matters. Thoughts?
I hope you don't mind if I point something out, you need to do the one hand on the poultry, and the other for using your seasonings.
I edit out the parts where I wash my hands.
Just got one for my birthday, good simple instructional video
Congrats on a great purchase. I love this thing and I'm sure you will too. Cheers!
Awesome I have one as well an I use all the time now you going to make me go get a chicken for tonight's dinner an put it on my rotisserie for my Weber kettle 👍👍👍👍💯💥
It really does make a great chicken. I can't wait to try ribs on here.
If you do the rib's let me know how it comes out
Great video and nice technique!!
Oh Yeh. Keep on Grillin'. Thx for doing this and sharing. 👍👍👍👍👍 😊😊😊😊😊
Right on, Sheila! Appreciate you tuning in.
I put a half stick of butter in the cavity instead of the lemons. Try it, I think you'll like it.
Many prefer the only fire rotisserie because it has four prongs each instead of two that the Webber has.
Pro tip: Look up Kenji Lopez Alt's recipe for roasted chicken and try that on a rotisserie.
Just salting overnight on a sheet pan with baking powder and salt will yield in the most absurdly juicy bird you've ever tasted.
You can put a pan below with some cambray potatoes, small oions and jalapenos, it will be very great combination in a taco

@@GallaghersGrub thanks for the help
Just subscribed and ordered my onlyfire rotisserie ring from amazon. Going to cook a duck with it when it comes in. Great video!!!
I've had a problem with the spit jumping out of the motor slot. Any answers for that?
Perfect
Thanks Devin. Appreciate you tuning in. Cheers!
why do you not put the briquets on each side using the holders?
I debated that. My first attempt I used hardwood lump on just one side, but the fire got too hot and burned the skin. I figured using briquettes would solve that problem. Then I figured using briquettes on both sides might be about the same as the lump on one side and be too hot.
Where did you get your counter weight/balance? Mine didn't come with one.
It should definitely come with one! Return it of call them, and tell them to send you one.
Can this rotisserie hold a whole Turkey as well. Thanks
It probably can. Because of the size of the turkey though, it might be too close to the coals and burn the skin before the inside gets cooked.

@@ilbaffonero Can it cook 3 chickens or max 2?
@@tconsidine1978 weight of three chickens shouldn't be a problem, but it might be a tight squeeze for a 22 inch kettle grill.
Damn bro, I gotta try it out.
Get yourself another pair of forks, and you can do two at once, I do it all the time.
