Rotisserie Cooking - Weber Genesis II LX E440 Manual

Cooking on a rotisserie adds another exciting dimension to cooking on a barbecue. Food will cook beautifully
and evenly as it turns throughout the cooking process. As the food is constantly rotating, it bastes in its
own juices, resulting in wonderfully moist and tender meat with a delicious outside.
A rotisserie kit is available as an accessory for your Genesis® II LX and can be used to create mouthwatering,
self-basting spit roasted food. For best results, use the rotisserie with the cooking grills out of the barbecue
and one or two foil drip pans resting on the Flavorizer® bars directly below your food. Set up instructions
are included with the rotisserie kit.
Preheating for rotisserie cooking:
Whenever you use your Genesis II LX for
rotisserie cooking, it is important that you preheat
the barbecue first, with the lid closed. Like a
convection oven, the barbecue should be hot
when you put your food in, to achieve the best
results. To preheat your Genesis II LX for rotisserie
cooking:
1. Check that all burner control knobs are in the
off position and check with the supplied tank
scale that there is sufficient gas in your bottle (for
LP models).
2. Open the lid.
3. Remove the cooking grills.
4. Turn the gas supply on at the source.
5. Light all four main burners according to the
instructions in the owner's guide.
6. Turn burners 2 and 3 to MEDIUM (M) and close
the lid. Preheat the barbecue with burners 1 and
4 on HIGH (H) and burners 2 and 3 on MEDIUM
for 10 minutes.
7. While the barbecue is preheating, set up your
rotisserie kit and put your food in place on the
spit in accordance with the instructions included
with the rotisserie.

Rotisserie cooking:

1. After preheating for 10 minutes, your barbecue
is ready to cook. Leave burners 2 and 3 on
MEDIUM and turn burners 1 and 4 to MEDIUM.
2. Open the lid and put the rotisserie spit, with
the food already in place, on the barbecue. The
food should be positioned above burners 2 and 3.
3. Place one or two large foil drip pans on the
Flavorizer bars directly beneath your food.

4. Turn on the rotisserie and ensure that it is
turning smoothly. Close the lid and cook for the
estimated cooking time.
Note: Your Genesis II LX will perform at its best
4 burner LX preheat rotisserie
when you let natural convection do its work under
the lid. Try to resist the temptation to open the lid
unnecessarily. Your food cooks faster, more evenly
and with more flavour if you leave the lid closed
as much as possible. As your food is constantly
turning when using a rotisserie, there is no need
to adjust the food during the cooking time.
