SECTION 5: THE ROTISSERIE AND ASSEMBLY
General Rotisserie
Information
• Glow igniter for Infrared burner
remains on entire time the rotisserie
is on.
• Rotisserie cooking rotates food in
front of the Infrared burner. It cre-
ates an intense heat for searing the
outside and sealing in the juices.
• The Infrared burner reaches cook-
ing temperatures in about one
minute and the orange-red glow
evens out in about 5 min. Do not
preheat when using the rotisserie.
• Select tender meat and poultry
that will allow at least 1" of space
between the Infrared burner and the
grates.
• Can be used in combination with
the Smoker and / or the Grill. For
example, cook a beef roast on the
rotisserie and chicken pieces on the
grill.
• To make a gravy or clean up easier,
place a pan under the food to catch
the drippings.
• Add a barbecue sauce or glaze
during the last 10 minutes of cook-
ing to prevent it from burning.
WARNING: Never block vent
opening at rear of hood. Use
with the vent opening blocked
will result in damage to the
unit and may cause a fire or
injury.
