How to Use a Rotisserie Grill Basket
Fill one half of the basket with your favorite food, chicken wings, vegetables, french fries, or anything else you can imagine. Close the lid, ensuring the latch is secured, then feed the rotisserie rod through the two openings on either end of the basket. Place the spit onto the BBQ like you would when cooking with the rotisserie any other time. Ensure the basket is positioned in the center of the rear burner (if using) and then tighten the thumbscrews on the basket. Turn on the rotisserie motor and the contents of the grill basket will slowly roast.

The Rotisserie Basket's rod ports fit most rotisserie rod styles and lock in place with the thumb screws. Once you've created the most delicious wings, crispiest fries, and grill-roasted veggies without the addition of oil, the stainless steel baskets clean up easily, then nest for space-saving storage.
PRO TIP:
If cooking something saucy in the basket, remember to place a drip tray beneath the basket to keep the BBQ clean. This is best when using the rear burner on the grill.
Advantages of Using a Rotisserie Grill Basket
Healthier baked fries and wings cooked to crispy perfection, how's that for an advantage? You can use this accessory with the rear burner or by lighting the two main burners under the basket, on the BBQ as illustrated in the photos. The tumbling motion means that every side of the food being cooked gets hit by heat, leading to a crispier and more even final product without the use of additional oil or deep frying. Making more delicious food isn't the only advantage. The food-grade stainless steel is easy to clean and can even go into the dishwasher.

How Do You Use a Rotisserie on a Grill?
Using a rotisserie on your BBQ is a great way to cook foods to perfection. It is not necessary for your grill to have a rear burner either. You may have to install a rotisserie bracket to hold the rotisserie motor, however, as long as you can do that, you can use a rotisserie.
- Preheat your BBQ using the main burners or the rear burner depending on your model and the recipe.
- Truss the food to create a uniform shape and ensure nothing is flapping or dangling during the cook.
- Slide on the first rotisserie fork, then carefully thread the food onto the spit rod, securing it with the first fork. Follow that with the second fork.
- Ensure the load is balanced, using the counterbalance if one side is heavy.
- Install the spit rod with food onto your grill and ensure the food you are cooking is centered as needed.
- Cook until perfection.
