Primo Oval Large Rotisserie Kit

Will this fit my Primo Oval Large?

Yes. This kit is listed for the Oval Large and mounts to that grill; it is not adjustable to another size. The X-Large, XX-Large, Junior and Round each have a rotisserie kit of their own, so check the size word before ordering.

Which cuts are worth spit roasting?

Anything with enough fat to baste itself: whole chickens, duck, pork shoulder, picanha, leg of lamb and rolled, tied roasts. Lean cuts are the ones to approach with caution, since the technique depends on fat rendering across the surface as the load turns.

Can I use the Primo rotisserie baskets with this kit?

Yes, and they extend what the rotisserie is good for. The 3-sided basket and the oval basket carry no grill size in their titles because they mount on the rotisserie rather than in the firebox, so they work with whichever kit matches your grill.

How do I arrange the charcoal for a rotisserie cook?

Bank it rather than spreading it. Primo's Oval models have a longer cooking bed than a round kamado, which makes it straightforward to keep the coals at one end and the meat over the clear part, taking heat that circulates rather than heat that hits it directly from below.

Do I need a drip pan under the meat?

It is the accessory people wish they had bought first. Fat landing on live coals flares, smokes badly and coats the roast in soot; a pan catches it, protects the flavour and saves a long cleanup afterwards. The drippings are worth having on their own account.

How long does a rotisserie cook take?

Longer than searing and shorter than a low-and-slow brisket, but the honest answer is that it depends on the cut, its weight and how hot you are running. Cook to internal temperature with a probe rather than to a clock, and let the appearance of the skin tell you whether your fire is where it should be.
