Rotisserie cooking has long been one of the most satisfying ways to cook over live fire. The slow rotation promotes even cooking, natural self-basting, and juicy results every time. Now, Yoder Smokers has introduced a line of rotisserie kits that bring this classic method to three flagship products:
- Yoder Smokers Pellet Grills (YS480, YS640, YS1500, Cimarron)
- Yoder Smokers Flat Top Charcoal Grill
- Yoder Smokers El Dorado
Whether you prefer pellet-fired precision, bold charcoal flavor, or the versatility of the El Dorado, there’s a rotisserie kit built for your cooking style.
Why Rotisserie Cooking?
Rotisserie isn’t just another accessory—it changes how heat and juices move over food during a cook.
- Even Cooking: Consistent rotation allows heat to circulate around the food.
- Self-Basting Flavor: Juices continuously roll across the surface, enhancing tenderness.
- Versatility: Ideal for whole chickens, pork roasts, ribs, and even skewered vegetables.
With Yoder’s heavy-duty construction and smart mounting design, you gain this cooking style without giving up workspace or ease of use.

Pro Tips for Rotisserie Success
Balance the Load
Center proteins on the spit and use counterweights if needed for smooth rotation and motor longevity.
Secure Trussing
Truss poultry or tie roasts so edges don’t flop outward and overcook before the interior finishes.
Target Temps
For most poultry, 275–350°F delivers tender meat and rendered skin. For extra color, finish closer to the fire.
Rest Before Carving
Let meats rest 10–20 minutes to redistribute juices for clean slices and better texture.
