The rotisserie burner is an infrared burner which provides intense
searing radiant heat. Preferred by professional chefs over other
methods, this intense heat is great for searing in the natural juices and
nutrients found in quality cuts of meat. Once lit, the rotisserie burner
will reach cooking temperatures in about 1 minute. The red glow will
even out in about 5 minutes.

To install the rotisserie motor, align the plate on the back of the motor
with the mounting slot on the side of the grill. Tighten the thumb
screw on the motor into the side of the grill. The skewer for the
rotisserie is assembled by placing the pointed end into the rod socket
inside the grill and resting the rounded end on the wheels on the left
side of the grill.

Using the smoker box
feature intensifies the
flavor by adding smoke to
the grilling process. The
additional smoke creates a
“cloud” around the food
which permeates meats
and vegetables for added
smoky flavor. In order to
use the smoker box,
remove the last set of
stainless steel grids and
briquette tray on the right
hand side of the grill. Set
the smoker box in the
opening so that the front
and rear tabs rest on the
support brackets.

Wood Chip Use in Smoker Box
There are many wood chips available and selection is based
on personal taste. The most common chips used are mesquite
or hickory. Always soak the chips in water prior to putting
them into the box. Use the “HIGH” position to start the chips
smoking, then reduce the heat to a lower level to prevent
them from drying out and flaming. If the wood chips do flame
up, add a small amount of water to extinguish the flame. Use
caution when adding water to a hot box to avoid steam
burns. This tray may also be filled with water to produce
steam. Whether smoking or steaming, the grill should remain
closed as much as possible to maximize the effect.

During extended roasting periods, it is normal to add fresh
wood chips and water to the box several times. Limit the
amount of times the canopy is opened—each peek adds
about 15 minutes to the cooking time.
