INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

ABOUT ROTISSERIE COOKING

Because it rotates slowly over fire, lean meat or fowl cooked on a rotisserie requires less attention and achieves an
excellent flavor and appetizing appearance. Direct heat rotisserie cooking over a single burner or side of a twin burner
being fired is usually done at a low or medium burner setting.

The twin burner featured in some models allows indirect rotisserie cooking. The cooking grids must be removed when
using the rotisserie. Turn on one side of the burner and load the meat on the spit rod so that it will rotate over the un
fired side of the burner. Great barbeque flavor is still imparted into whatever food is prepared yet even less attention
is required during cooking. (After indirect cooking is completed, it is suggested that the unfired side of the burner be
lit for several minutes to burn off any droppings.)

CAUTION: Use protective gloves and care to protect you or your family from burns. Do not leave the rotisserie unit
unattended.

WARNING: Do not expose rotisserie to weather elements.

PREPARING MEATS FOR THE ROTISSERIE

Some amount of flare-up is desirable in outdoor cooking.
It’s the flare-up that imparts that great “barbeque flavor”
to foods being prepared.

Excess fats should be trimmed from beef or pork to
reduce the drippings of melted fat and prevent exces
sive flaring. Lower temperatures will also help prevent
excessive flare-up.

An excellent collection of recipes tested on Broilmaster
gas grills is available. Ask your dealer or write to us
about our gas barbeque cookbook.

NOTE: Suggestions from Broilmaster
uses of the rotisserie will be appreciated. If you have
any ideas, write us!

ROTISSERIE USE

1

3

After preheating (350 to 400), place the loaded spit rod
into position. Start the rotisserie motor and make certain
the food is properly balanced. Close the grill lid and
lower the heat as required by changing the valve knob

-

setting or by opening the grill lid to any of the adjust
able secondary heat regulator positions, allowing heat to
escape from inside the grill.

Note: Beef and pork roasts and certain types of fowl
will release a considerable amount of fat and juice in the
process of cooking and are therefore “self-basting”. Lean
meat and chicken will taste better if basted occasionally
with melted butter, margarine, salad oil, barbeque sauce
or a sauce of your own preference.

The exact degree of “doneness” can be determined by
the use of a meat thermometer.

-

Warning: Do not operate the sideburner option simul­taneously with the rotisserie. The sideburner will melt
the rotisserie handle.

Secure meat firmly to the spit rod with meat holders. (It
may be necessary to tie fowl and rolled roasts to retain
their shape for even rotation.) To ensure proper rotation,
it is important to adequately balance and fasten the meat
or fowl onto the spit rod.

Before heating the grill, rotate the spit rod and meat
manually a few times. If out of balance, attach the coun
terbalance assembly to the spit to even out the weight
and rotate again.

During cooking, adjust the meat holders if the meat
shrinks and pulls away from the spit rod. Use gloves
and caution to prevent burns.

2

Prepare the grill for rotisserie cooking by removing the
cooking grids. Be certain that the rotisserie brackets and
motor are securely in place, then light the burner and
close the grill lid for preheating.

Important: The side shelf will need to be removed to
accommodate the motor on Broilmaster® S5 grills.
