ABOUT ROTISSERIE COOKING
Because it rotates slowly over fire, lean meat or fowl cooked on a rotisserie requires less attention and
achieves an excellent flavor and appetizing appearance. Direct heat rotisserie cooking over a single burner
or side of a twin burner being fired is usually done at a low or medium burner setting.
The twin burner featured in some models allows indirect rotisserie cooking. The cooking grids must be
removed when using the rotisserie. Turn on one side of the burner and load the meat on the spit rod so that
it will rotate over the unfired side of the burner. Great barbeque flavor is still imparted into whatever food is
prepared yet even less attention is required during cooking. (After indirect cooking is completed, it is
suggested that the unfired side of the burner be lit for several minutes to burn off any droppings.)
CAUTION: Use protective gloves and care to protect you or your family from burns. Do not leave the
rotisserie unit unattended.
WARNING: Do not expose rotisserie to weather elements.
WARNING: Electrical Grounding Instructions

PREPARING MEATS FOR THE ROTISSERIE
Some amount of flare-up is desirable in outdoor
cooking. It’s the flare-up that imparts that great
“barbeque flavor” to foods being prepared.
Excess fats should be trimmed from beef or pork to
reduce the drippings of melted fat and prevent
excessive flaring. Lower temperatures will also
help prevent excessive flare-up.
An excellent collection of recipes tested on
Broilmaster®gasgrillsis available. Askyourdealer

NOTE: Suggestions from Broilmaster®owners for
further uses of the rotisserie will be appreciated. If
you have any ideas, write us!
ROTISSERIE USE
2
Prepare the grill for rotisserie cooking by removing
the cooking grids. Be certain that the rotisserie
bracketsand motor are securely in place, then light
the burner and close the grill lid for preheating.
Important: The side shelf will need to be removed
to accomodate the motor on Broilmaster
®
P5 grills.
3
After preheating (350 to 400), place the loaded spit
rod into position. Start the rotisserie motor and
make certain the food is properly balanced. Close
the grill lid and lower the heat as required by
changing the valve knob setting or by opening the
grill lid to any of the adjustable secondary heat
regulator positions, allowing heat to escape from
inside the grill.
Note: Beef and pork roasts and certain types of
fowl will release a considerable amount of fat and
juice in the process of cooking and are therefore
"self-basting". Lean meat and chicken will taste
better if basted occasionally with melted butter,
margarine, salad oil, barbeque sauce or a sauce of
your own preference.
Theexactdegreeof"doneness"canbedetermined
by the use of a meat thermometer.

Warning: Do not operate the sideburner option
simultaneously with the rotisserie. The sideburner
will melt the rotisserie handle.
Securemeat firmlyto thespit rod with meat holders.
(It may be necessary to tie fowl and rolled roasts to
retain their shape for even rotation.) To ensure
properrotation,it isimportant toadequately balance
and fasten the meat or fowl onto the spit rod.
Before heating the grill, rotate the spit rod and
meatmanually afew times. If outof balance, attach
thecounterbalance assembly tothe spit toeven out
the weight and rotate again.
During cooking, adjust the meat holders if the meat
shrinksandpulls awayfromthe spitrod. Use gloves
and caution to prevent burns.
