Looking at Weber Spirit & Pellet Rotisserie https://www.amazon.com/Weber-3400252-Spirit-Rotisserie-Stainless/dp/B0D3NYNJVG/ for my searwood 600 (non-XL) and it seems like a lot to spend for add-on. Wondering if it's worth it or if other less expensive alternatives fit the bill for occasional use (maybe 3-4 cooks/season). Thoughts?
Title pretty much captures it. I have the 600, and there's definitely room for 2 chickens if just sitting on the grates. The Rotisserie has tines on either side, but it's not clear to me how I might hold 2 birds on that- does anyone know?
I'm guess it's the auger getting stuck on a pellet-- does anyone know for sure? The cook went fine, no errors showed up on the controller.
Just did my first cook with my new Searwood, and I made a fresh pizza using raw dough, homemade. Set the temp to 600°. Kept it preheating until an infrared thermometer showed that the stone had reached nearly 600°. I never got any real leaparding on the top of the crust though it was clearly cooked after 9 minutes total. The dough recipe assumed a 700° to 800° oven (An OONI dough recipe). This meant the crust ended up a little dry since it had to spend a longer time in the heat. I will try adding more water to the dough next time, but I was wondering if there's a way to really jack up the heat on the Searwood instead? If I put it in manual mode, highest setting, and close the lid, am I going to get an error or will I do something horrible to the grill? How hot can I make this go?
Just assembled my new Searwood, and noticed that where I peeled off the marketing sticker it left a kind of a ghost of adhesive (see the square on the right side-- you have get the reflection right to notice it). Do I need to worry about this baking on and being unsightly? Is there a good way to safely remove it?
UPDATE: I found some Duck brand adhesive remover in my garage - kind of an orange oily substance, probably similar to Goo Gone - and it worked great! Rubbed it all over the area and let it sit for a couple minutes, then wiped it with soft cloth, then cleaned the area of that oily residue with some glass cleaner. Perfect! No sign of where the sticker was. Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions.
Since these things require electricity, what happens when the power goes out? Does it just quietly burn out, or does the lack of a blower fan allow the fire to creep through the auger channel into the hopper and start a bigger fire?
