Can I create my own rotisserie with this motor and if I can how many pounds can it rotate? Thanks so much for your help.

Yes, but only if you build your own speed reduction so the final maximum speed is around 5RPM to rotate up to 100 lbs of balanced weight. Running at a lower speed with this motor to direct drive a rotisserie system is not recommended as this motor runs at its optimal performance at 50RPM. That means if you turn the speed down with just the speed controller, the torque of this motor is not going to be strong enough to run well, especially below 10RPM.

I am using the motor to run a sand applicator and it probably pushes 50lbs at a time and doesn't blink - just needs to be able to adjust speed to what you are doing

Yes. Design problem but company will not admit it. The motor will stop working all together next. You can purchase 51205 25x47x15 Thrust Bearing on Amazon and get some high temp grease. I also recommend buying another motor as a back up to. You don't have to buy it from Blackstone. I have two OneGrill Cordless Grill Rotisserie Motors - 25 lb.

I don't know about adding a 'permanent' rotisserie, but I bought a Char Broil Universal Rotisserie which I've used on this grill and my previous grill by another brand name. The Universal works well, but you cannot close the lid because the hole in the side of the lid is too low to allow for the lid to close nor can you rotisserie with the grates in place because the food sits too low for the grates to be there. Anyway, I mounted my bracket for the Rotisserie for the highest possible setting (since I can't close the lid anyway). You will have to leave one grate inside when using the rotisserie because you need to have something for the far end of the spit to rest on. Lastly, you can buy a Universal Adaptor for the Rotisserie, but I just use a small piece of stone/rock to prop up the lid enough so that the spit rotates freely but keeps the lid low enough for your meat to get some good smoke. One hint on using the rotisserie with this grill, when you build your fire, make sure you leave a narrow "trough" of area clear of coals down the middle of your grill. Your meat will be spinning directly above this empty "trough". If you have coals there, then you run the risk of burning your meat when juices fall into the coals and the fire licks up, but if you make two mounds on either side of the meat, then it will roast nicely and slowly. Also, spend a little extra money and get some additional forks for the rotisserie. I have 3 sets of forks and can rotisserie up to 3 full chickens at once because I have the extra forks. I just did some birds on Monday night (10/27/14) and they're wonderful. They have wonderful coloring, they're juicy and very flavorful. My wife won't eat chicken any other way now. I've used the rotisserie on a bunch of chickens and a few beef roasts I cut from a Ch CC Eye Round. I can't wait to do my Thanksgiving Turkey on it.

This is the best rotisserie motor I have ever used. It should have no problem turning a corn roaster!

Hi David - I did not purchase the rotisserie with this grill. I see that Amazon has the Meco Aussie 9329w Deluxe Electric Grill that comes with the rotisserie. Perhaps if you call Meco 1-800-251-7558 they can assist you to see if a rotisserie can be added to the 9350.

Hi SundancejanSorry cannot help as I don't have the motor. I have the rest of the bits and the drive is the same for the roller section (to flatten dough) and for the parts that cut the pasta (lasagna), so if the motor is a stand-alone unit then it should work fine with either attachment. The machine works very well with the manual crank.

Can NOT BE used for a rotisserie! NO holes in the ends for the spit to come out and no place to bolt on the motor. Also, this grill is a piece of crap. I've only had it a short time and already the tray where you put the charcoal on is rusted thru and will not hold any charcoal. Less than a year and time to toss it out and get a new one. Money poorly spent!

Sorry for late answer. My rotisserie rod is supported at both ends so I think it could hold most any weight you could put on the grill and still have it turn it. if you plan to close the top, this would not be much bigger than a chicken.No you can not use it indoors since it smokes too much. The purpose of the drip pan is to actually burn the fat to produce smoke in order to flavor the meat.

The standard motor that comes with the unit has burned out on my last two units. I bought a whole new unit to replace the first and the motor burned up on it in two seasons. I only make ice cream on occaision and in no way over taxed the motor on either of the first two. I purchased this replacement motor on amazon and it says it has an industrial strength motor. I haven't use my new one yet, so I'm interested to see if it will ouitlast the others. I would suggest replacing the motor and making ice cream without delay. I'm figuring it's part of the cost of operation.

It comes with a counter weight but I haven't had to use it. I use the rotisserie basket for wings and such and it rotates great.

Honestly, it's your choice. We have a Showtime and I'll tell you it's great. We bought a competitor's rotisserie after our first Showtime broke down (it lasted for years). The competitor's rotisserie cost a lot more and did not cook as well as the Showtime! Whatever Showtime product you choose, you will be happy.

Tricky. I haven't done it but you could weld the rotisserie motor to the bracket on the spindle, or fabricate new brackets to mount on the upright. Some work may be needed to grind some flat spots on the spindle to fit the drive socket on the rotisserie motor . If you did it you might be able to make modification kits and sell them to pay you for doing it. Ed

Fortunately I still have my original Faberware manual. It seem to be a six pound maximum for the rotisserie.

If you add the extra throw out bearing, the motor holds up fine for pizza and other light loads. It does not hold up to added weight though (don't try putting a cast iron skillet on the grill!), We have not found a bigger motor -- but have not really looked.

Contact Ronco. A friend of mine received a rotisserie missing the skewers. She called the toll free number and went to the web site. They have parts.

No Idea. But as I stated in my review, this item does NOT rotate like it claims to. Please buy another product. I was at walmart the other day, and there was an attachment that attaches to a gas grill and LITERALLY rotates to give you the real rotisserie meat. Good luck.
