Anyone have a rotisserie for their Summit Charcoal/ Kamado?
I have a quote from Europe for one, around $350 total.
Thinking about getting it and wanted to see if anyone else is running one.
Thanks in advance

So I asked as I always do, and the bbq lady was very responsive.i don't but that seams really expensive. i think i'm too cheap to spend that just for roto.
why not ask a bout a group buy and see if they'd lower the price. maybe 6 units? i'm sure a bunch of peeps here might be interested if the price were more reasonable. just thinking out loud.
It will with modification, that’s what I did. It’s about $280 now though. You just have to grind the back 1/3rd of the bottom lip until the lid will close.We have an 18" Joe-tisserie for our BGE, paid $170 for it in 2020 (EDIT: that same roto is now $226). What can I say? It does what it's supposed to do, doesn't leak air. It seems like I saw a review on YT that compared it to other rotos and it wasn't reviewed as favorably as some others, but it works for me. Anyway, would not a 24" Joe-tisserie work on a WSC/K?
The difference in spit rods is mainly in where the bearing journals are located. This image is from OneGrill.com and I think, if you measure carefully, you should be able to find something workable. Of course, if you have a spit rod already that doesn't have a journal in the right location, you can grind a journal by hand or have someone with a lathe turn it down for you.I have a rotisserie for the Genesis 1000 I would probably be able to rig up that motor and get the spindle fabbed up or buy something used.
Feasible?

Some of the motor mounting arrangements are unique...the Joe-tisserie is unique, and I have another roto on one of the gassers that mounts horizontally that I think is unique, too. You would have to look at the part that the motor attaches to and see if you think your existing motor will work, and if not, well, then it's time for Plan B.
i don't think he's doing whole hog.Here's one way to avoid sourcing a roti motor from China. I wonder what he's spinning?
(A: anything he wants!)

so i checked Weber's 22" roto price and it's $235 USD. So maybe you price isn't so ridiculous!?!?!?!
Still seems like a lot to me; basically a metal ring, spear, motor and some adjustable locking forks.
I didn’t complain. I don’t see the value for me. Big difference. Spend money how you see fit. It doesn’t bother me one bit. It’s not my money. I’m a value buyer. If something has value to me I’ll find the price I want to pay.Waaaay back in the day, when someone complained about the cost of replacing a light bulb, my grandfather's response was, "You're right, why you go out and make one?"
So, yeah, I agree, but unless you can make one . . .
