Some important things:

1. The 6" inch cradle is meant for cooking meats like chickens and small roasts. The 8" cradle is meant for cooking items like turkey and leg of lamb. The ones sold directly by EZ-Que come with a brochure that shows how to place different meats in the cradle. I don't think Weber packages this brochure with the product.

2. I have always cleaned mine in the dishwasher, and have never lost a part. If you soak the parts for 15 minutes they come out sparkling clean.

3. I have NEVER had meat fall out of the cradle. If someone is having a problem with that it must be because they have not read the instructions on how to place the meat. I have cooked things as small as . Ribs lie flat. You have to make sure to tighten down the clamps and finger screws.

4. EZ-Que, Inc. has a lifetime gaurantee on the cradle and parts. The motor that comes with the one marketed for Weber is not the motor that the company that manufactures the rotisserie sells with the cradle. The chrome plated motor that comes from EZ- Que is designed for the cradle.

I have done a lot of business with the owner of the company over the years, and I know he takes a great deal of pride in his products. He loves to hear comments about what people think about his products. I just saw him at a barbecue industry show in California where the company took the product of the year award for his design. His name is John, and the company phone number is 248-373-0666.

My reccomendation is to buy it straight from the manufacturer - the company always gives great service, can answer any questions about how to use the rotisserie, offers a life time warranty, and it comes with a much better motor.

I have had many different types of barbecue rotisseries over the years,but none has done the job as well as the Weber 9891 rotisserie.The best thing I like is the basket type of holding device which does not permit the meat to fall of when it shrinks,also you don't have to use a ball of string to tie the meat on. I certainly recommend bying the Weber 9891.

We're rotiss-ing everything!   May 18, 2003

My husband wanted one of these for Christmas, but I almost didn't buy it because of some of the negative reviews. Now I'm so glad I did because we really like it! We have cooked prime rib, leg of lamb, and whole chicken, and we have enjoyed every bit. We haven't tried ribs - got a rib rack for those and it works great and allows you to cook more ribs.

I don't find the rotisserie that hard to clean. It's definitely more work than usual grill cleanup, where you burn off the mess and then brush with a grill brush, but it's not much worse than a messy roasting pan. Get one of those sponges with the rough side for scrubbing, and the main basket cleans right up. I soak the other parts if they need it - they're small so it's no big deal - and then they also clean up with the scrubby sponge. Mine has been used half a dozen times and looks perfectly new.

I haven't had any trouble with securing meat, and haven't even had to readjust during cooking.


Superior Rotisserie   July 13, 2004

This is a superior rotisserie!!! I'm leaving mine in my will to my grandkids. I've been disappointed and thrown away at least a half dozen or more spit-rod rotisseries in my life. I thought I would give rotisserie cooking another try.

Sure wish I owned the patents on this!! It's definately the wave of the future. As an engineer, I can see all the thought that went in to the design. I was intrigued by the whole concept of the style, design, and the apparent durability of it. This beats any other rotisserie I have ever seen. The design allows it to carry a lot more meat than a spit rod could. It's made out of all stainless steel which holds up to the heat and doesn't peel like the chrome spit rods do. The adjustable clamping arms hold any meat I put in it, no matter what shape. Depending on what you are cooking, the meat clamp tongs reverse to tightly hold. I just set my meat in the cradle, securely tighten the clamping arms and put it on the grill. It self balances, so I don't need that clunky counter balance that has killed every rotisserie motor I've seen. The motor that came with my EZQue is a real workhorse. It effortlessly turns the big loads of whole chickens and roasts.

I have a large family that gets together for barbecue all the time. I followed the advice of one of the posters and bought mine from Innovative Cradle Rotisseries on E-Bay. From what I was told, they are the only company in the world that manufactures this ingenious advancement in barbecue technology. Come to find out, everything about the product is patented. It really IS a product that is past due. I spent a lot of time talking to the customer service person - I've never seen such great personal attention. They told me that Weber was given an exclusive for 3 years to market the 9891 and that is no longer being made. (When I called the Weber hotline to ask about the 9891, the only thing they could tell me is "This thing comes down and holds the meat." Not much help.) Then I called the customer service at EZQue, they are not only knowledgeable about their own products, but knew every detail about the grills that they make the product for. They ARE the authorities in rotisserie in my book. Although the company has been around since the early 80s they only sold through grill companies. They make them for all grills, not just Weber and they also make big ones for pigs and catering.

Anyway, being a Weber fan, I strayed from the Weber brand name package and decided to buy direct. Am I ever glad I did. The EZQue one is a better made product than the 9891 - with a motor that is better suited to the job.

I love my EZQue rotisserie so much I went back and ordered ones for all of my friends and family's grills for Christmas, and it's only July. I got a couple Webers, a Ducane, and Charbroil. They made sure that I got the right model for all my friend's different grills, and are even custom making one for a Jennaire for a grill my parents just bought. I bought a portable campfire one that I got to take with us to use on the beach when we go sailing, and a kit that I can build into my outdoor fire hearth at our cabin. My son in collage has a charcoal kettle, they had a rotisserie to fit that. They even shipped on to my brother overseas. Next year they are going to have a line for Charbroil, and Sunbeam. Now the pastor of my church is looking at getting a few of the 3 foot long double rotisserie EZQue grills to rent for events and weddings.

Superior design, superior service, superior grill accessory, superior limited lifetime gaurantee.

And, did i forget to mention how UNBELIEVABLY juicy and beautiful anything I cook on it turns out? Superior rotisserie cooking!

A dream, one great product, be wary of "refurbished" sellers   June 11, 2004

I'd like to say thank you to the person that wrote a review and lead me to the manufacturer of the Weber 9891 rotisserie. I found the website for the company, it's www.ezqueinc.com. My family LOVES to cook outside with our Weber grill, and we LOVE rotisserie cooking. I purchased a new rotisserie cradle directly from the E-Z Que people after I saw the review, and what I got today is a top of the line product. We barbecued with it tonight, and it works like a dream. We had the best rotisserie chicken cooked in one side and a pork loin roast on the other side, then we did a slab of baby back ribs. All of the parts were precision fitted, went together well, I got a diagram about how to place different meats in the rotisserie. Everything went perfectly. It cleaned up like a dream, I did as the company told me, disassemble the parts, place in the sink with soapy water, and let soak for about 20 minutes. Every part came out shiny with very little scrubing. I originally had bought what I think may have been a "refurbished" model that came with a plastic case motor. From what I hear in the reviews, it sounds like they were duped like I was the first time around. The company that manufactures the rotisserie told me they have a limited life time warantee, and do not sell or authorize anyone to refurbish their products. The one I got frome E-Z Que came with a much stronger metal casing motor - you can tell there is a big difference in the quality in the one I bought from E-Z Que, it seems to handle the turning better, is quieter, and runs smoother.

My advice, from a customer that has gone from discouraged to elated.....This is one great product that proved everything it stated it could do. Make sure you buy the original. It cost me a little bit more, but, I think I'll be using this product for many years to come.
