A universal rotisserie is a cooking tool with a rotating spit that can be mounted on an outdoor grill using universal brackets. Kits include a motor, skewer, and accessories. The brackets have multiple holes to fit various grill designs.
A universal rotisserie is a cooking implement designed with a rotating spit that can be installed on an outdoor grill using one or more universal mounting brackets. This rotisserie kit contains several components that can be combined in any way necessary to install the rotisserie on the desired grill. Some kits include a motor, skewer, brackets, and braces to keep the food in place on the skewer as it rotates. Other kits may include several accessories — such as a roasting basket — that you place on the spit or pieces like a counterweight for the spit end. Various universal rotisserie kits are available, with the main difference being the length of the spit, although the strength of the motor, the size of the brackets, and the mechanism used to hold the food on the spit can also differ.
At its most basic level, a universal rotisserie kit will include a spit and a pair of mounting brackets. Motorized versions will have a small motor that can be placed to the side of the grill, away from any side-mounted heating elements. Most of the time, the spit will come with some type of clamp or pair of forks that you attach to the spit to secure the food in place as it rotates. Depending on the manufacturer, a variety of accessories may be available so that the universal rotisserie can be used for other functions, such as cooking vegetables for example.
Basic universal rotisserie skewers can be made of stainless steel or aluminum. Higher-end models may include a skewer made of heavy cast iron, anodized aluminum, or even coated with a nonstick material so it can be cleaned more easily. The remaining parts vary from one design to another and can include items such as bamboo handles that resist heating and special hooks that can be used to lift the skewer off the grill.
The universal look of a universal rotisserie comes primarily from the design of the mounting brackets. Brackets are usually made so that there are multiple holes that can be used to attach the brackets to the side of a grill. The holes are positioned to match a number of popular grill designs, allowing one type of universal bracket to be used on multiple grills without the need to drill holes in the brackets or grill, although not all grills are featuring pre-drilled holes for a rotisserie.
