WSM Rotisserie Mod - Pictures

[Joel Kiess]

Saw this in two places at the Iowa State Championship today, in Marshalltown. I think it may have been discussed elsewhere, but I haven't seen it.

Bare Bones BBQ team had one of their 18' modded for rotisserie

And here is a similar mod on a 22" at another team

 

[Chris Allingham]

Joel,

Would you mind if I posted these on the main site somewhere?

Chris

 

[Joel Kiess]

Sure - please do.

 

[RDOwens]

Anyone know what make and model that rotisserie is?

 

[LDean]

The rotisserie motor, spit, and hanger, are all factory Weber, for the 22.5 kettle, not sure about the basket.

 

[Joel Kiess]

BTW - the second WSM - the 22" - was at Iowa Smokey Ds. (Had lunch there today - good stuff)

 

[Mike Stevenson]

Joel, I love it! Great Mod.

I love the windbreak for the 22". I laugh at the troubles people have with the wind at comps. Before my first time competing a older, wiser pit man told me to be wary of the wind when using uprights like the wsm. I took it to heart and never travel without mine. and they always generate a ton of interest everywhere we take them.

that basket pic gave me a new idea for our comp thighs.

Excellent mod! Would be excellent for Roadside Chicken for sue.

 

[Ralph Grunz]

That is an excellent mod.... I bet they place well in (chicken)competition with that... It's the right stuff...

Its a Weber spit rod, mount and motor with a Char-Broil basket, which Lowes has for @ $8.

 

[Chuck Piercy]

That ought to git r done, think I'll wait til I find a older WSM and then utilize this mod myself.

 

[RDOwens]

Does the basket just screw onto the rod? If so, does anyone know of larger baskets that would mimic the E-Z Que 8" baskets that are not available? I would want to hold a roast on the spit.

 

[Brian Moriarty]

The Char-Broil basket has 2 cheesy little thumbscrews that secure the basket to the spit rod. I've replaced mine with stainless steel eyebolts that are easier to R&R the basket.
There are some cylindrical tumble rotis baskets out there, but you won't get a roast on one of those.

wait a second ? I have the weber kettle rotisserie on my one touch. If I drill holes in my WSM, would I be able to mount this bad boy ??? HMMmmm ???

 

[George Curtis]

yes.
