Primo Rotisserie for Oval Large — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Primo Rotisserie Kit for Oval Large?
The Primo Rotisserie for Oval Large (model PGLGR) is an add-on kit that converts your Primo Oval Large kamado grill into a rotisserie style cooker. It enables you to slowly roast whole chickens, large cuts of pork, beef, or even vegetables on a rotating spit.
What components are included in the kit?
The kit typically includes a motor (with a power cord), a stainless steel spit rod, two spit forks to secure the food, and a rotisserie ring that helps seal the dome and reduce heat loss.
How much weight can the rod handle?
The spit rod for the Oval Large kit is typically 3/8″ in diameter and is rated to handle up to **20 lbs** of meat (or combined food load).
How do I install and use this rotisserie kit?
Install the rotisserie ring between the dome and body to maintain heat sealing. Mount the motor bracket, insert the spit rod through the forks, balance your load, and plug in the motor. The dome should close with the assembly in place, and the kit will rotate your food automatically.
What are the benefits and any limitations?
Benefits:
– Even, self-rotating roasting means less manual turning and more consistent cooking.
– The rotisserie ring helps preserve dome seal and reduce heat leakage.
– Great for poultry, roasts, and items that benefit from slow rotation.
Limitations / cautions:
– Overloading or unbalanced loads can strain the motor or cause vibration.
– The rotating assembly must clear internal grill walls and dome—incorrect fit or alignment may cause interference.
– The motor and stainless parts should be kept clean and dry to avoid corrosion.
– Always let the grill cool before handling or disassembling parts.
