I"m still looking for a better made model, still being a one piece model!
Best piece of grilling equipmentMay 8, 2008 I have been looking for one of these baskets for years. It is the best thing for grilling chicken. Forget the "can" chicken, put some salt and pepper on your chicken and put the pieces in the basket. Let it slow turn on your grill rotisserie and the chicken will be done in 20-30 minutes. It is moist and delicious, better than your local market rotisserie chicken. You can, of course, season your chicken any way you like. The non-stick surface aids in keeping the chicken from sticking and it turns freely in the basket. This basket will be your favorite grill purchase this summer!!! Be sure that you have a rotisserie on your grill, because the spit fits through the basket.
Not designed very well.February 5, 2008 Well, I've held my breath for 2 days and am still unhappy with this product. I don't expect perfection for $12 but I do expect better than this.
First I went to look at my grill and the basket door had fallen open, spilling the food onto the grill. I had to use skewers to hold the door closed. Also, the door had jammed against the food grid so it was a little bent. Luckily the fuse blew, because I have a rather good rotisserie motor.
Ho-hum, that fixed I checked it again after a couple of minutes and the rottiserie was turning but the basket was not. Aha I thought, the clamp screws must have been loosened when the door opened (they had, the frame must have been very slightly bent). I then found out that the frame was too long (three quarter inch) and the clamp screws too short (half inch) to grip the skewer (quarter inch) properly. As I doubt I'll find longer screws with a metric thread I'll have to buy some bolts and make my own.
All this while trying to get superbowl dinner ready :( , hence the held breath.
Overall quite well made but very poorly designed.
EasySeptember 2, 2007 Non-Stick makes cleaning extremely easy. I wish they made a larger unit with a better door lock (with heavy cook loads the door will open and drop your dinner into the fire) I have gotten around this by wiring the door shut. Cooks quickly and food is very juicy, absorbs smoke taste.
Would have been great!August 10, 2007 This basket was exactly what I was looking for but it did not work with my Viking BBQ. The rotissier bar is too big to fit through the small holes and there is no way to adjust it.
