BBQ Rotisserie

You know it really is interesting that bbq rotisserie cooking doesn't get more respect. Most grill manufacturers will tell you that you don't really need to use a rotisserie because a grill with a lid does the same thing, provides even roasting. The standard view of cooking is to move the heat around the food, not the food around the heat. These guys probably can't tell the difference between a good brisket sandwich and a Big Mac.



There are so many advantages to bbq rotisserie cooking. Meats are generally juicier, self-basted and slow roasted. Of course there are a few differences between grilling and rotisserie cooking that you need to be aware of. The first place to start is with the instruction manual for your particular grill, beyond that remember that while a lot of grilling is done over a very hot fire you need a lot less heat for the rotisserie.

If you set up your bbq rotisserie so that the top of the item is moving away from you and place the drip pan slightly towards the front of the grill then you will have an easier time scooping up the drippings for basting.
