So glad you got enough subscribers that your videos are here for me to watch now. Thanks Darnell!

Awesome recipe thank you d grill

[@rpurdum]

Great video with a lot of detail. Thanks for all your hard work!

[@pauldiming]

Thank you, D Grill! Great vid! I have just bought a new Weber grill and am considering buying a rotisserie.

[@davidlenoir826]

D Grill... I own several grills and do a lot of cooking however, I have not tried my rotisserie on my Genesis yet. I stumbled across your video while doing a little rotisserie research. Since you we so kind as to share your experience, I would like to offer a couple of words of encouragement and advise. Perhaps by now, you have found this out on your own, but just in case..... I always keep an extra canister of propane in a storage unit next to my grill, just in case I run out. (actually I have two because I also have an outdoor propane heater). But that is not the tip... It has been my experience that securely trussing meat (particularly fowl) provides a more even and speedier cook. By pulling the legs and wings closer into the body of the bird, heat is more evenly distributed throughout the bird. And finally, an instant thermometer works a bit better than the IGrill ones but they are great for really long cooks. Thanks for all you do..

[@Nilostein]

very nice

[@karrotlover]

We just bought a Weber as our first brand new grill, and after watching an assortment of random grilling videos I just binge watched a bunch of your videos! I'm happy to see that you now have many more than 1000 subscribers and I hope you continue to get more. Thank you so much for making these detailed, helpful videos showing all the different kinds of things that you can do with a gas grill :)

[@DGrill]

You're welcome 👍🏿

[@manfredbogner9799]

Very nice

[@maryyexley3021]

Hey D..... we're big fans of your videos.... loyal subscribers. We just got the rotisserie feature for our Weber gas grill and can't wait to try it tomorrow. We have our grill hooked up to a natural gas line, so no propane tank. We GROANED when you said your propane went out while you were cooking!!!!! BUMMER!!!!

[@alexdewilde9511]

cant wait to test mine

[@garygullikson6349]

Hi"D", Pretty much per your video, I just put a single 6lb chicken on my Weber G-II E-335 grill. I use a 10" aluminum disposable drip pan, from the market, on top of the triangular bars and set the outer burners between 1/2 and 3/4 symbols so heat gets to 370 degrees. Mine is a natural gas setup, so butane settings may be different to get to 370 degrees. I truss the chicken very securely so legs don't drag on the pan. Cooking is done in 2 hours, checking final temp with my Thermoworks Thermapen, great thermometer. Love rotisseried chicken.

[@slimpickenz]

Received my rotisserie kit yesterday and will be installing it today and taking her for a "spin." Thank you for sharing your experience, as it gives me a better idea of how to get everything prepped for the cook. I have a little analog oven thermometer that I plan to place inside to see how accurate the one on the lid is.

Thanks for the videos Darnell. I have the same grill as yours but never thought about a rotisserie. I just ordered one and can't wait to try it. I didn't realize the grates have to come off. I'm surprised how low the rotisserie sits.

I'm so glad you did this video. I've been a subscriber for about a year. I have been contemplating getting the rotisserie attachment for my G2-E410. After watching this, I'm still thinking about it. But two things stand out for me. One is the loss of shelf space on the left side of the grill. And the higher amount of labor to get this cook going. Lastly, I really rely on the iGrill3 meat probes for telling me when the cook is done. P.S. if you want a cleaner look for the ambient probe cable, I ran mine underneath the left side of the right shelf and then brought it up from underneath in the front to plug it in. Keeps it completely off the shelf. Thanks for your channel. Don't let KZbin constraints keep you from doing these.

[@DGrill]

Glad to help. You can see from my Overcooked ribs video, not having iGrill 3 always checking the meat has some real drawbacks 😅 . Getting the rotisserie "right" can be a little tricky at times, but it gets easier the more I use it. Thanks for the tip with the iGrill wire. And for the encouragement. Come February 20th, the money stops here unless nearly 100 subscribers show up. I plan to continue the channel. I think more subs would come faster if it were not still winter. Great time to make a deadline 🤔.

[@CC_Marauder]

@@DGrill Based on a frightening amount of analytic data, Google knew the timing was perfect for them to squeeze the little guy. Nothing is done by accident from tech companies.

[@DGrill]

Please don't sully this good person's comment thread with your theories. Watch the news, it all has a very well documented and logical start. KZbin made new rules because business demanded it. I am fine with that. If you have issues with me being good with it. You have other options. Like finding another channel.

[@debbiesaghatelian6948]

So my big question was there is not a way to raise the rotisserie bar higher and it sits very very low but you did a great job of answering my question it sits low and you can’t do anything about it LOL

[@gr7485]

Looks good Darnel! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who's run out of gas while cooking lol. For rotisserie cooking my smaller E-210 is probably too small to do two chickens at one time but Weber should be including two sets of forks or at the very least offer additional sets to purchase separately.

[@DGrill]

+George Reed Weber does not recommend using more than 1 set of spit forks on 200 or 300 line grills.

[@DGrill]

+D Grill And I always cook till the propane is gone, till the last vapor 😂

[@maille5243]

Darnell ,Weber should have a double pronged skewer to hold the chickens in the middle from spinning... To

[@gr7485]

I wonder why not? Considering the way the whole chicken moves about while rotating the extra forks should be a benefit. Clearly the motor is sufficiently strong enough to handle them both. Forks or not those chickens sure did look good.

[@gr7485]

My wife would call us frugal. :D

[@vinnyguitara]

Hey D love your videos. Is it possible to cook two different types of meat on the rotissery same time? Like a porchetta and a chicken on the same spit or not recommended?

[@DGrill]

It's up to you 👍🏿

[@garygullikson6349]

Tips: Use big long drip pan per DGrill. Weber grill doesn't have much clearance even with grills removed. Select small chickens, larger ones may drag on drip pan despite trussing them. Using four spit forks will work but center forks are not essential.

[@stevenmartin4313]

D Grill, love your videos, hope you get the target subscribers, I am already one. Since you have been doing the rotisserie videos, I thought that was a great idea, but here in England they seem to be around £180 (about $250), but the price might come down in the spring. Your chicken looked good, but the rotisserie does seem a bit fiddly esp compared to a simple beer can method, is it much better? Again good luck with the subscribers

[@DGrill]

+steven martin Thank You for your support! Sorry to hear Weber wants so much for a rotisserie from you. That's almost 3x the price I paid, $90 (£64). 😮 I have never done the beer can menthol. I would probably use lemon lime soda if I did. But check this out and let me know your thoughts on it: amazingribs.com/tested-recipes/chicken-recipes/debunking-beer-can-chicken-waste-good-beer-inferior-cooking-technique

[@JoeAnshien]

I am glad you posted this video. I had similar problem to you. I did a roto chicken on my Genesis II E210 (2 burner) and it took frigin' 3 hours. It should only really take about 90 minutes. I think in my case I made 2 errors: I put water in the drip pan to start and like you i used an ambient probe thermometer at the back of the grill instead of using the lid thermometer. The lid red about 100 degrees cooler than my probe! I am going to try again this week hopefully and I will use the lid and try for 375 degrees. I used to have a Ronco roto and it took only 90 minutes and they came out great. We should be able to do the same on the Weber.

[@JoeAnshien]

OK I did another roto chicken on my Gen II e210. This time just over 90 minutes. I keep the temp at 375 by the lid thermometer and no water in the pan. Just right!

[@BelindaTN]

Thanks for this. I am thinking that gas grilles might not be the best way to rotisserie cook something. At least not on this one, the rotisserie is just to low down. I do love the grill though. I think a charcoal grill might work better.

[@DGrill]

No shortage of options available 👍🏿

[@BelindaTN]

D Grill lol you betcha. Gives us a reason to get another grill. Lol I am saving for a Weber like that one or the Weber Spirit. I don’t have to rotisserie anyway. :o)

[@garygullikson6349]

Glad I have natural gas instead of propane. Connecting my new Weber with quick disconnect hose required installing a different shutoff valve and a bunch of parts to finally connect to the female quick disconnect and connect to the male disconnect on the Weber hose. Truss them birds securely. Another couple of rotisserie forks and careful string work would help with two chickens.

[@DGrill]

Yup, I show you so you can do it better 🙂

[@garygullikson6349]

Hi again, where do you get the extra long drip pans for 2 chickens?

[@DGrill]

Walmart

[@christiegranzenbair1764]

Does it use a lot of propane?

[@peterbelinfante5954]

Thank you for presenting one of the clearest how to videos I ve seen. Very helpful in anticipating issues with installing and using the weber rotisserie. Your efforts much appreciated.

[@jamesmiller4768]

how long do i cook for ?

[@DGrill]

I tell you how much time passed as the video progresses.

[@mumlyman]

Hope your rotisserie skills have improved

[@DGrill]

Everyone enjoyed the meat. And I have had lots of people have some. Not like I eat all this myself. So I would say the real judges of my skills approve.

[@mblondon1000]

seems like a lot of messing about for some chicken. Enjoyed the vid though

[@carlosgj1308]

With that long time I might as well buy charcoal chicken outside 😂

[@DGrill]

You're missing the point. It's not about speed. The rotisserie let's the chicken slow roast in its own juices. Which makes for great tasting meat 😋.

[@carlosgj1308]

Come on bro but more than 2 hours I think the bbq cooks to slow the maximum time it’s 1.5 hours I’m gonna make my chicken now on my beefeater bbq and I let you know 😁

[@DGrill]

Again you missed the point. This channel is focused mostly on the Slow & Low, intentionally. Really don't care how quickly it can be done. That's not what this Channel is about.

[@DGrill]

Also, while you have your chest out. Go get a 2nd chicken. I did *2 at once* . So nothing from your doing _just one_ is equally comparable. Get 2, do a full video, post to KZbin and then let's talk 😎.

[@carlosgj1308]

My chicken of 1 kg it’s done in 40 min at 200 degrees with slow heat I’m glad I didn’t buy Weber bbq the heat it’s just not strong enough

[@TheBlewzmann]

MONEY, Darnell I was number 800......... That rotisserie does not look that great The bird looks burnt on the wings.. What do you think? Over 2 hrs is a long time to run propane.. Love your videos though Big D

[@DGrill]

+Blewzmann Thank You for getting the subscriber count to 800 😎 . The cook too so long, because I started out relying on the iGrill 3 ambient probe temp and it was way off. I will need to use the hood temp and just consider the ambient probe temp reads way too high. When its positioned vertically, with the warming rack down. Also, I should have run all 3 burners from the start, to get a more even cook with 2 chickens. Having 2 chickens with just the outside burners running, caused an uneven cook. Then i turned on that middle burner later. Using just the 2 outside burners may have been good with just 1 chicken. But more cooks will come and techniques improved I enjoy brining everyone along for the ride. Maybe help someone else and others can offer me feedback 👍🏿 .

[@DGrill]

+Blewzmann +D Grill Also, I am thinking, the large drip pan is deflecting heat. So I may run all 3 burners every time I use the rotisserie. Got another rotisserie cook coming, Lord willing I will do it this week. And I hope for good results.
