onlyfire Stainless Steel Grill Rotisserie Kit for Weber Genesis II and Genesis II LX 200 and 300 Series Gas Grills

Perfect fit. Works great. Easy to use.

Used it once so far works well but it is a little ackward inserting the rod into the motor. Reviews mentioned this but running motor to get the drive hole with a flat on top makes the process easier.

I bought this for my Weber Genesis II grill. This product seems well-made and less expensive with better reviews than the OEM Weber product.Several reviews indicate that the motor cord exits the bottom and will not clear the side plate of the grill when mounted. On the model I received, there was a label indicating that the motor should be oriented with the cord facing down however the mounting bracket design mounted the motor with the cord to the side so this was not an issue.The spit comes in several screw together sections to allow for easier shipment and to accommodate various grill sizes. The assembly instructions are in German but the assembly diagram is all you need. It goes together easily. However, as several reviews noted, the rotation direction of the motor is such that the sections can become unscrewed during use. Not what you would expect from German engineering (or maybe German-speaking parts of China?). One reviewer said that he fixed this problem by opening up the motor compartment and reversing the motor leads. This is an AC motor so that will not work to reverse the direction of rotation.I rescued my first rotisserie chicken by reconnecting the rod sections and tightening them with wrenches. I am still concerned that when the end of the rod away from the motor comes into contact with the grill housing (normal since you don't want the rod to be able to pull out of the motor) the friction will cause the sections to unscrew again.I have attempted to fix this with a simple solution by making a washer out of a small piece of aluminum flashing. I drilled a hole slightly larger than the spit diameter where it sits in the grill cutout and then made a cut so that I could fit it into place over the rod (see pictures). Testing it out, the square spit section turns smoothly against the washer so I am hoping this solves the problem. Happy grilling.

Had to order two of these before i received one with all the parts. The second one came with and extra part and a dent. I was able to straighten out the dent and it did not impact the use so I kept it. Both of the items where purchased from Amazon as returned items at a discount. Both had labels that they were inspected by Amazon and both were supposed to be as new. For some reason this is happening a lot lately. Hopefully Amazon reads these reviews and will work on there quality control issues,The spit works as advertised and fits my 400 Weber with no problems.I have now used the item and everything works very well. I made a Chicken and an Acorn Squash which both turned out delicious. You can not cook with the grates on as there is not enough room even for a smart chicken but once you remove the plenty of room for a Turkey. Very quite operation and at this moment I am changing my review to five stars for the product and just three for Amazon.

The rod is solid, that part is good. Stainless steel, that part is good. But the cord comes out the bottom of the motor unit and on the on the Genesis 2, 3-burner it impacts the shelf on the left side. That part is not good. By "impacts" I mean that there is no way to configure the mounting bracket to hold the motor unit in a way such that the cord is not taking all the weight.I took the unit apart and drilled a hole on the side of the unit (by the way, it IS stainless steel as it is a little harder to drill through). Installed a new cord guard and reassembled. Works great.Also, the instructions show the mounting screws with the head on the inside. The heads need to go on the outside or the lid will not close.How other buyers were able to install this is beyond me. As far as I know, all 300 series have a left or right side shelf and there is no way to lower the shelf. Short of lowering the shelf, I don't see how this unit would install properly on a Genesis 2, 300 series. This unit is not safe to use with the cord exiting the bottom of the motor unit and taking all the weight.

The media could not be loaded. Love it! I have a Weber Genesis S435 (essentially, a Weber Genesis 400 series grill). This Rotisserie fits perfectly and was really easy to install. I have already used it twice and am very pleased (see included video). It runs quietly, and is a great addition to our grill. One great plus is that for routine cooking situations such as Rotisserie Chicken, or Wings in a Rotisserie Basket, there was no reason to remove the underlying grates. This is wonderful as it gives you freedom to cook other things in the outlying space surrounding the item that is on the Rotisserie. And, if I needed to cook something larger (a Turkey perhaps?) I believe I could remove just some of the grates to make room, but potentially still have some grate area available for cooking other things.I note that Weber has a comparable Rotisserie offering, but it is nearly twice the price. I feel like I made the right choice in going with a less expensive, but completely viable alternative.

This product is just acceptable. A nice stainless motor and the fit of the spit on the grill is perfect. the problem is the bracket. It is made of a gauge of stainless that is too light, and it does not have enough rigidity. It works, but is too flimsy.

A bargain at half the Weber price, it attaches fine, runs quietly, uses the attachments I've used on older rotisseries. The only negative I have is the length of the cord, it's pretty darned short. But for the cost savings, I have plenty of good extension cords.
