OPERATING
1. Remove rotisserie shaft from barbecue.
Remove one spit fork.
2. Push the rotisserie shaft through the approximate
center of the food.
3.
Slide the spit fork onto the shaft. Insert the tines of both
spit forks into the food.
The food should be centered
on the shaft.
Tighten the thumb screws.
4. Set the rotisserie shaft on the cooking box. The
grooves of the shaft should rest in the cut-outs in the
cooking box. Loosen the retaining loop and let the
counterweight assembly hang down.
5. The rotisserie shaft should rotate so that the heavy
side of the meat or poultry rotates down to the
bottom. Large cuts may require the removal of the
cooking grates and warming rack to allow full rotation
of the shaft. Remount the food if necessary for
better balance.
6. Swing the counterweight assembly so the
counterweight is directly opposite the the heavy side
of the food. The counterweight travel should stick out
a little bit above the shaft handle and retaining loop.
Tighten the retaining loop.
COOKING
Meats or poultry should be brought to room
temperature before cooking. (30 to 60 minutes
should be adequate for most foods. If frozen,
defrost completely before cooking.)
Tie meat or poultry with a string to make the shape
as uniform as possible before putting it on the spit.
Remove cooking grates and warming rack to allow
food to turn freely.
If you wish to save drippings for gravy, place a drip
pan in the center on top of the Flavorizer Bars
before positioning the rotisserie and food in
the barbecue.
Food preparation steps are the same for rotisserie
cooking as for regular cooking. Indicated timing in
cookbook will be the same.
Preheat barbecue for 10 minutes with the lid down.
All cooking is done with the lid down.
Cook by Indirect Method as indicated in recipe.
If foods are too heavy or are irregular shapes, they
may not rotate well and should be cooked by the
Indirect Cooking Method without using
the rotisserie.
5. Insert the Rotisserie Shaft in the Motor
Insert the pointed end of the rotisserie shaft into
the motor.
NOTE - Adjust the travel of the counterweight as the
food cooks (shrinks), or if the motor sounds as if it is
straining.
7. Remove rotisserie shaft with food before preheating.
Preheat barbecue for 10 minutes with lid down.
Follow cooking instructions in your Weber Gas
Barbecue cookbook and adjust the burners as
indicated.
8. Place the motor into the bracket, slide to lock.

motor. Set the rotisserie shaft with food on the
cooking box.
