Napoleon Rotisserie Shish-Kebab Skewer Set — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Napoleon Rotisserie Shish-Kebab Skewer Set?
The **Napoleon Rotisserie Shish-Kebab Skewer Set (64008)** is an accessory designed to convert your rotisserie into a kebab wheel. Instead of flipping skewers manually, this kit allows your skewers to rotate automatically around the rotisserie, delivering evenly grilled kebabs with minimal effort.
What are its specifications and key features?
• **Included parts:** six (6) chrome-plated skewers + two rotisserie plates to hold the skewers in place.
• **Materials & finish:** Chrome-plated / stainless components that are washable and resistant to corrosion.
• **Compatibility:** Fits most standard rotisserie spit rods — you don’t have to use a specific grill brand.
• **Dimensions:** ~ 17.25″ depth (length) × 6.25″ width × 6.25″ height.
• **Weight:** ~ 2.45 lb total kit.
• **Dishwasher safe:** The parts can be washed in a dishwasher.
How do I use this skewer set effectively?
• Thread your meat, vegetables, or other ingredients onto each skewer securely — since they rotate, they should be balanced.
• Insert the skewer set (mounted like a wheel) onto your rotisserie spit rod and ensure proper alignment.
• Use your grill’s rear infrared burner or main bottom burners to heat beneath or around the rotating kebabs.
• Because it spins, the kebabs cook evenly on all sides, reducing or eliminating the need to stop and flip manually.
• After cooking, allow the unit to slow before handling — the skewers, plates, and adjacent areas will be hot.
How should I clean and care for this accessory?
• The components are dishwasher safe — you can place skewers and plates in your dishwasher for cleaning.
• If washing by hand: use warm water, mild detergent, and avoid abrasive scrubbing that might damage plating.
• Dry thoroughly to prevent water spots or corrosion.
• Inspect the skewers and plates for bending or wear over time; replace any damaged parts to maintain safe, even rotation.
What are the advantages and limitations?
Advantages:
• Even, automatic rotation ensures uniform cooking over all sides of each skewer
• Saves effort — no manual flipping of kebabs
• Attractive presentation — the “wheel” style can be a conversation piece
• Chrome / stainless construction is durable and easier to clean
• Compatible with many existing rotisserie setups
Limitations / cautions:
• Skewer load must be fairly well balanced — off-balance loads may strain the rotisserie motor
• The kit has physical size limits; very long or bulky skewered items might not fit well
• Some grills (especially smaller or kettle-type) may not accommodate the wheel’s diameter or clearance
• Components (plating, fasteners) might degrade over time if exposed to harsh conditions
• Always use caution — parts will become very hot during use
