Stainless Steel Rotisserie Ring Kit for Weber 22 Inch Charcoal Kettle and Other Similar Grills

I waited because back when I looked for a grill rotisserie attachment the only one available was Weber's and I thought it too pricey-- plus a number of reviewers weren't happy with the seal at the grill and lid. This gizmo is considerably cheaper, and boy, do I like this. It's well designed, and it works well. The first two uses I wound up with perfectly cooked whole chicken that was super moist. Now a caveat about that: if you're grilling chicken, over charcoal, whether whole or pieces, if you don't ***brine*** it first, you're asking for trouble. I brined the first (3.5 pound) chicken for two hours--and it was incredible. The second, I only had time for a one hour brine and it came out well-- but not as good (moist) as the first time. Could this gizmo be improved? Sure. And I expect they'll work on minor refinements going forward. But it's excellent. It's sturdy. It seals to the Weber grill really well. The motor is quiet--not that it matters so much right? The central spit is robust. The hardware that holds the food on the spit is well designed. The handle stays cool to the touch. Is it durable? Will the motor hold up? Who knows. My feeling is that this should be pretty long lasting. Hard to know after a couple of weeks. But out of the box this is really impressive and at a very, very, reasonable price. And remember: always brine your chicken before grilling. Follow up: I've had this nine months. I've probably used it an average of three times a month. Takeaways: ---The chickens keep on coming out...perfect. Like "Wow, dear, this is really good!" perfect. ---It wasn't up to handling out Thanksgiving turkey: 24 pounds. Maybe if I fooled with it more, and got the balance jussst right, maybe. But it didn't seem worth it. However: the rotisserie ring? Made grilling the turkey easier than ever. Really nice! ---Motor is still fine, nothing is broken or rusted or malfunctioning in any way. A great addition to an already great grill. Hat's off, and very impressed!

The fit and materials are respectable. The ring seated on the bottom fine, and the lid fits okay, too. The rotisserie seems well made, with a wooden handle that screws on. It has two, four prong offset forks that screw down easily and hold the roast well. I need some more practice on the counterweight, but it seemed to help with balance. It performed well for a 4+ hour pork roast. I have a Weber brand rotisserie for my gas grill, and the quality of this unit was comparable. The motor was steady and quiet. Cord length is generous. This increases the Weber's function. You can rotisserie at high heat as well as smoke at a lower heat. The ring itself, when installed, allows for a standard Weber cover to still fit (after removing the rotisserie motor and skewer. I shopped this for a while and settled on this company's product - and in the stainless version. I'm sure the standard metal would have been fine. Very happy to have purchased this. It is handy to be able to rotisserie. We also kept the ring on when we were doing a slow turkey. It was nice to have the extra space. Some smoke escaped, but the larger chamber may have encouraged more smoke accumulation over all. This is a less pricey option that the Weber brand, but it is seemingly just as well constructed.

With some trepidation after reading some negative reviews, I went ahead and ordered the Onlyfire black metal. It came very well packed, no deformities, and in short order. Some reviews mentioned warpage, poor fitting of either the ring to the kettle or the kettle cover to the ring. I experienced none of this. In fact, everything fit perfectly. Haven't used the motor yet, but test run seemed fine. All in all, a very good product at an amazing price.

I had been using a Weber rotisserie kit for the Weber Kettle for 15 years. Worked great and I did many cooks of chickens, turkeys and large prime rib roasts. Then I lost custody of my Weber grill and equipment in a domestic dispute (don't ask). So I got a nice Weber Performer kettle off Craig's List and refurbished it. Looks like new. Next job was to get another rotisserie kit. The Weber kit, like all Weber products, have gone up a lot with the crazy tariffs on metals (that consumers pay not China!) and the crazy high shipping costs from China. So I thought I would try this Weber knockoff at less than half the price of the Weber. Well it works OK for the price. Here are the things I have noticed. Everything is lighter and more delicate, the spit, motor and ring. The spit appears to be chrome coated metal rather than solid steel as the Weber is. Need to see how it holds up with the post-cook scrubbing it will get. Motor is very light and doesn't seem particularly powerful. It will turn two chickens OK. Haven't done a heavier meat yet. I wonder if the gears are metal or plastic/nylon? I am going to keep it and see how it holds up over time. I will report back in after some more test drives. Oh, one more thing, the kettle lid doesn't fit very tight over the ring. Not a problem for me as I shut down all of the top and bottom vents when running the rotisserie. The air leaking in below and above the ring is enough to maintain a good temperature for rotisserie roasting. I regulate my heat with the amount of charcoal I start the cook with. For a long cook, I might open the vents a little bit to bring up the temp as the charcoal burns down.

I was trying to make a decision between the Weber, and Only Fire rotisserie for my 22 inch Weber Kettle grill. With a difference of over $100 more for the Weber, I decided to get the Only Fire and take a chance. I could always send it back. It arrived extremely fast and upon opening the box I was really surprised by the quality of all components. It was easy to put together and setup. I found the third set of holes were best for leveling the spit rod. Once tightened down the brackets conformed to the round shape of the ring and everything lined up great. Only Fire supplies a VERY generous cord length for the rotisserie motor which is very quiet and powerful. The spit rod and accessories are very solid and well made. The fit in my opinion couldn't be better for a Weber kettle although the top lip is a bit small the Weber lid fits and stays on. I'm going to add some high temperature gasket to the Weber grill cover to improve the fit. I was going to do that anyway for my grill for smoking. All the components are topnotch and I can see no reason for anyone to pay an extra $100 bucks for the Weber when Only Fire has produced such a great product. Highly recommended!!

I made sure that I got the model that fits over the bowl of the Kettle. It’s a little loose fitting, but it’s easy enough to get the lid, bowl, and ring aligned. The motor seems pretty robust, and it has an integrated heat shield in addition to the shielding of the standoff bracket. My spit forks look like the ones that Only Fire sells as stainless, and I believe that’s a feature of the stainless rotisserie ring package. The thumbscrew used to set the offset of the counterweight is a little less than easy to get tight, but it’s still functional and very easy to use otherwise. The only thing I see that’s less than perfect in the build quality is that the spit rod didn’t get completely ground sharp - it’s got a roughly 1/8” / 3 mm flat instead of a sharp point. I can still push it through a piece of meat, but it takes some effort. Overall, the Only Fire stainless rotisserie ring is a great value for a functional unit.

It was very easy to put together. The parts fit well together. The motor is fantastic. It’s quiet and strong. It’s easy to use. The chicken came out juicy and tender and my family loved it. This was worth every penny and made me look really good in the process. Thinking of purchasing more of these guys’ products.

Hey this rotisserie kit is the real deal! A rock solid build with high quality components ,I’ll be spinning meat snacks on my Weber for years to come. The motor is quite powerful and QUIET! I’ve done two 8.5 lb chickens at a time, an 18 lb turkey, and some large prime rib roasts with no problems. There’s no telling how many ‘possums at a time this thing will cook( don’t forget to truss their little tails). There’s stainless steel makes for easy clean up too. Don’t be on the fence about it, BUY IT NOW! You’ll be happy with it!
