Primo Oval XX-Large Rotisserie Kit

Which grill does this rotisserie kit fit?

The Primo Oval XX-Large, and that size only. It is the largest of the five rotisserie kits Primo lists, one per grill, and the mountings are not shared between sizes. Anyone cooking on an X-Large or a Large needs the kit listed under their own size.

Is a rotisserie the right choice for cooking for a crowd?

Often, yes. One large load turning over a steady fire needs much less attention than a grate covered in individual pieces that all want turning at different times, and it holds moisture well over a long cook. It also frees you up, which matters when you are hosting.

What should I watch on a long spit cook?

The fire, mostly. Set the vents once the bed has settled and then make small adjustments with time to see their effect rather than chasing the temperature. Beyond that, check early on that the load is still turning cleanly, since meat loosens as it cooks and trussing can slacken.

Do the baskets and kebab holder work with this kit?

Yes. None of the three rotisserie accessories carries a grill size, because they mount on the rotisserie rather than in the firebox. Once you have the kit for your grill, the 3-sided basket, oval basket and kebab holder all become options.

How much charcoal should I light for a rotisserie cook?

Enough for the length of the cook, banked to one side, and lit early enough to settle before the food goes on. A large firebox is forgiving once it is stable, since a brief lid opening barely moves it, but an overbuilt fire in a big grill takes a long time to bring back down.

Do I really need a drip pan underneath?

It solves two problems at once. Fat reaching live coals flares and puts harsh smoke onto the food, and on a cook this size there is a great deal of fat in play. A pan catches the lot, protects the flavour and turns cleanup afterwards into a short job.
