Part of the reason I went with it was because I have a 26” Weber kettle and there is no Rotisserie ring option that was reasonably priced. Also, the portability would allow me to bring it to our vacation home easily. Going to try another chicken tonight with some adjustments (raise the fire a bit using the charcoal baskets, close the bottom vent completely, etc). I like the split idea John, may try that as well if I can find some locally (can be hard to find here in New England)
