The Best Weber Kettle Rotisserie Setup for BBQ Enthusiasts

Why add a rotisserie to your Weber?

  • You get juicier, evenly cooked meat.
  • The skin crisps up beautifully while the inside stays tender.
  • You can roast pork, chicken, lamb, and beef like a pro.

Here’s how to set up a rotisserie on your Weber Kettle and cook the perfect spit-roasted pork.

What You Need for a Weber Kettle Rotisserie Setup

 ✅A Weber Kettle Rotisserie Attachment – Turns your kettle into a spit BBQ.
 ✅ A Strong Motor – Needs enough power to turn a big roast.
 ✅ A Balanced Spit Rod – Helps with even cooking.
 ✅ Lump Charcoal – The good stuff for proper flavour.
 ✅ A Meat Thermometer – Ensure it’s cooked through without guessing.

Tip: If you don’t already have a rotisserie attachment, grab one that fits 57cm Weber Kettles.

Setting Up a Rotisserie on a Weber Kettle

1. Attach the Rotisserie Ring

  • Most Weber Kettle rotisseries come with a ring that sits between the lid and base.
  • This raises the lid so the meat can spin properly.

2. Load Up the Spit Rod

  • Push the spit rod through your meat and secure it with the spit prongs.
  • If you’re doing pork, tie the meat tightly with butcher’s twine to hold everything in place.

3. Arrange Your Charcoal

  • Bank the charcoal on the sides, leaving an empty space in the middle.
  • This creates indirect heat, so your meat cooks evenly without burning.

4. Fire It Up & Get Cooking

  • Turn on the rotisserie motor and let it spin.
  • Keep the BBQ lid partially closed to keep the heat in.


How to Roast Pork on a Weber Kettle Rotisserie
There’s nothing better than crispy crackling and juicy pork. Here’s how to do it right.

1. Prep the Pork

  • Score the pork skin with a sharp knife.
  • Rub in plenty of salt to help the crackling form.
  • Leave it uncovered in the fridge overnight—this dries out the skin for better crackling.

2. Get the Temperature Right

  • Start at 220°C for the first 30 minutes to crisp up the skin.
  • Lower to 160-180°C for the rest of the cook.
  • Cook until the internal temp hits 75°C (use a meat thermometer).

    Tip: A bit of applewood or hickory adds extra smoky flavour.


How Long Does It Take to Cook?

  • Pork Shoulder (3-4kg): 3-4 hours
  • Whole Chicken: 1.5-2 hours
  • Lamb Leg: 2-3 hours
  • Beef Rib Roast: 2-3 hours

The key to a perfect cook is low and slow heat.
 

Common Mistakes (And How to Avoid Them)

❌ Too much direct heat = burnt outside, raw inside.
 ✅ Bank your coals on the sides for indirect heat.
❌ Wet pork skin = no crackling.
 ✅ Dry it overnight and rub in plenty of salt.
❌ Not balancing the spit properly.
 ✅ Make sure it’s evenly secured, or the motor will struggle.
