This showed up on my facebook. I took a look. It might be something I want. I know I have seen people ask about rotisseries in a pellet cooker, some say no use for it due to convection, me I think the rotisserie is more for a self baste and could work well with the hot air moving about. I am going to post a link to the Roto-Q-360 kickstarter page. the name is there now if Bentley decides the link is not acceptable and chooses to remove it. I have nothing in this just thought some here may be interested.

Looks very interesting. I am still trying to figure out how it turns without electricity.

Me too. Looks like it has to be wound up like a clock. I guess you set the time it runs by the amount of turns??

Yep, I just read that...and then bought one. I really liked pork loins on the rotisserie I had on my Weber Summit gas grill years ago. Planning to use this equipment to put on a pellet grill and do the same thing. Kabobs will be another nice thing to do again using this.

BBL,
Once you have it, a quick review would be great.
Thanks in advance....
-
It looks like a great addition to my repertoire of grilling gadgets. I'd buy it now if it were available, but since it's not, I'll wait until November If I'm still vertical. :bbq:

The earliest looks to be October.

I am thinking of the grill package. Not sure why something so small is going to cost 50 bucks to ship. My cousin camps a lot and we visit them, so the grill thing may be nice. Thread on some hunks of cow or country style ribs, maybe some chicken breast with a rack abov it with some bacon laying on to drip down.

Looking forward to you October/November review :<)

Thanks for the heads up Big Dave. My family loves rotisserie chicken so I decided to take a chance and order the family package.
My main concern would be durability of the unit.

I did message them and ask about the grill pack and if thy have any videos of it set up and working, I also questioned the spring losing tension over time and effecng the speed and length of time it would turn. I will post their answers if they get back to me.

I did not get any more info on the grill part but below is what they sent me on the spring. The kickstarter page says lifetime warranty but their reply to me say 1 year.
Yes for your interested and support for ROTOQ360, our life test on the spring are 10,000hrs, and our warranty is 1 year. Gradually the springs will get weakens and loses tension, but it should last you a long time! All parts and accessories will be avab separately on our www.rotoq360.com shortly. Once again we thank you for sharing us to your friends and families. Stay safe my friend

What say you all? Can that thing be stood vertically and still fit so I can make Shawarma, Gyro's and Al Pastor?

I think as long as you would put the motor part on the top. i think you would have to engineer something to may to help support the sides since they are now the top and bottom, and you may need to just put the handle down through one of the openings in the gate so it sits flat, there doesn't look to be much of a stub on the opposite end of the motor. Possibly the only other issue is something to hold the meat up off the bottom when you turn it on it's side.
-
My concern is the limited weight capacity. Otherwise, interesting idea.
-
Wind it up, 60 minutes max, Interesting.

Extreemly valid point! Time to have seperate bucket of grease cleaning liquid avaiable for a dunk every 6 months!
-
Bentley have you seen this item. Maybe a good test item for the site.

I have not! I am going to assume that would be for fowl? Or small Shawarma?
$49 is ridicules, but let me get into the Bentford fabrication shop and I think we can have something for you shortly!

Haha...that is the first thing that came to my mind. I remember you fabricating something with spikes on it at some point on the old site.
-
I love to see things come out of the Bentford Fabrication Shop!

I decided to cancel my pledge. I can't see myself using it often enough and have no interest in manually turning the unit 20x to make it run an hour and then having to turn it again while it is hot to keep it going longer than an hour.
-
I cancelled my pledge 10 days ago. The comments from HomerJ and Bentley about gumming up the internal works made a lot of sense to me.
-
Not only the problem of gumming up from smoke and such. I would be concerned about the fact it uses a spring. Since the spring must retain it's temper in order to work, how long before the heat from cooking removes the temper of the metal spring and it no longer works.
Just my 0.02 cents.

All great reasons why I unfunded. I didn't need any other problems to deal with while cooking.
And, I reconverted that money into some additions to my stereo equipment.

Cant find any SS!
