center of the food.

both split forks into the food.The food should be
centered on the shaft.Tighten the split fork 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.
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. Remove rotisserie shaft with food before preheating.

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
the 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 Method without using the rotisserie.
