I am trying to rotisserie some red meat on the grill for the first time. That white thing behind the meat is a gas burner plus there are for gas burners underneath.... what i dont know is how to do it.. do i turn on all burners, side and bottom? Do i use high heat or low? Do i close the lid or leave it open?

My guess is all burners on, highest heat, lid closed.

@freemo what @joesabin said essentially.

Adjustment: below burners on low, rear burner med-high. To finish, Crank em all.

Check every minute for 'crisp'. USE a timer!

All cooking lid down.

That should work if the answer is in time

What direction does your rotisserie turn? Meat surface going *up* against the rear burner or *down*?

I'll write a #CrazyCanuckBBQ thread on rotisserie, faux and real, vert vs. horiz axis

Don't have one myself but #KaybeeQ has thoughts

@kaybee335

the meat that is facing me goes down, so its up on the burner side.

@freemo @joesabin
That's good!

The fat will be warmed by the low burner, then melted by the back and then have a chance to cool and soak back in before being heated again

More flavor, less drips

That's *really* what you are trying to accomplish with the rotisserie technique

I wound up going with low heat on the bottom high on the back.. it did work quite well.

@freemo @joesabin 👍

Extremely glad to hear it. That was just general cook experience & understanding what rotisseries do in order to cook that prompted that

Type of stuff you'll learn through the #MeatheadG book and just playing around. Learn from your failures. They'll soon be at the point where you don't worry about wasted expensive protein. They're all *good*, you just know you can do better

So get figuring it out! Experiment! Lots! It builds an instinct
