onlyfire Universal High-Temp Resistance Black Coated Steel Charcoal Kettle Rotisserie Ring Kit for Weber 2290 and Other Models

I waited because back when I looked for a grill rotisserie attachment the only one available was Weber's and I thought it too pricey-- plus a number of reviewers weren't happy with the seal at the grill and lid. This gizmo is considerably cheaper, and boy, do I like this. It's well designed, and it works well. The first two uses I wound up with perfectly cooked whole chicken that was super moist. Now a caveat about that: if you're grilling chicken, over charcoal, whether whole or pieces, if you don't ***brine*** it first, you're asking for trouble. I brined the first (3.5 pound) chicken for two hours--and it was incredible. The second, I only had time for a one hour brine and it came out well-- but not as good (moist) as the first time.Could this gizmo be improved? Sure. And I expect they'll work on minor refinements going forward. But it's excellent. It's sturdy. It seals to the Weber grill really well. The motor is quiet--not that it matters so much right? The central spit is robust. The hardware that holds the food on the spit is well designed. The handle stays cool to the touch.Is it durable? Will the motor hold up? Who knows. My feeling is that this should be pretty long lasting. Hard to know after a couple of weeks. But out of the box this is really impressive and at a very, very, reasonable price.And remember: always brine your chicken before grilling.Follow up:I've had this nine months. I've probably used it an average of three times a month. Takeaways:---The chickens keep on coming out...perfect. Like "Wow, dear, this is really good!" perfect.---It wasn't up to handling out Thanksgiving turkey: 24 pounds. Maybe if I fooled with it more, and got the balance jussst right, maybe. But it didn't seem worth it. However: the rotisserie ring? Made grilling the turkey easier than ever. Really nice!---Motor is still fine, nothing is broken or rusted or malfunctioning in any way. A great addition to an already great grill. Hat's off, and very impressed!

With some trepidation after reading some negative reviews, I went ahead and ordered the Onlyfire black metal. It came very well packed, no deformities, and in short order. Some reviews mentioned warpage, poor fitting of either the ring to the kettle or the kettle cover to the ring. I experienced none of this. In fact, everything fit perfectly. Haven't used the motor yet, but test run seemed fine. All in all, a very good product at an amazing price.

The fit and materials are respectable.The ring seated on the bottom fine, and the lid fits okay, too.The rotisserie seems well made, with a wooden handle that screws on.It has two, four prong offset forks that screw down easily and hold the roast well.I need some more practice on the counterweight, but it seemed to help with balance.It performed well for a 4+ hour pork roast.I have a Weber brand rotisserie for my gas grill, and the quality of this unit was comparable.The motor was steady and quiet.Cord length is generous.This increases the Weber's function.You can rotisserie at high heat as well as smoke at a lower heat.The ring itself, when installed, allows for a standard Weber cover to still fit (after removing the rotisserie motor and skewer.I shopped this for a while and settled on this company's product - and in the stainless version.I'm sure the standard metal would have been fine.Very happy to have purchased this. It is handy to be able to rotisserie.We also kept the ring on when we were doing a slow turkey. It was nice to have the extra space.Some smoke escaped, but the larger chamber may have encouraged more smoke accumulation over all.This is a less pricey option that the Weber brand, but it is seemingly just as well constructed.

Everything works as advertised. It's a little out of round, but that should straighten itself out after a while. There was a burr on one of the knobs for the skewer that cut my hands a bit, so be careful.For my application, I'll need some gaskets to help it seal a bit better, as it runs too hot as its. The unit gets a little interference from the kettles handle hardware. I imagine this is no problem on a weber. But for those who want a rotisserie for this grill, it couldn't be much easier than this.Recommended.

I was trying to make a decision between the Weber, and Only Fire rotisserie for my 22 inch Weber Kettle grill. With a difference of over $100 more for the Weber, I decided to get the Only Fire and take a chance. I could always send it back.It arrived extremely fast and upon opening the box I was really surprised by the quality of all components. It was easy to put together and setup. I found the third set of holes were best for leveling the spit rod. Once tightened down the brackets conformed to the round shape of the ring and everything lined up great.Only Fire supplies a VERY generous cord length for the rotisserie motor which is very quiet and powerful. The spit rod and accessories are very solid and well made.The fit in my opinion couldn't be better for a Weber kettle although the top lip is a bit small the Weber lid fits and stays on. I'm going to add some high temperature gasket to the Weber grill cover to improve the fit. I was going to do that anyway for my grill for smoking. All the components are topnotch and I can see no reason for anyone to pay an extra $100 bucks for the Weber when Only Fire has produced such a great product. Highly recommended!!
