Compatible with Kamado Joe Classic Joe® and Big Joe® series, as well as select Big Green Egg models and other round charcoal grills, it's easy to install and dishwasher safe for quick cleanup.
Classic Ways to Use the JoeTisserie
When you think of using the JoeTisserie, you're more than likely imaging big, bulky, meat spinning. Whether this is a whole chicken, Thanksgiving Turkey, or a rack of lamb, you can't go wrong with classic rotisserie flavor.
"The build quality is good, and the spit is strong enough to use for turkeys. I have done 12 lb. and 14 lb. turkeys with no issues. They were some of the best turkeys I have ever had, tender, juicy and perfectly cooked." - Actual Review
Turning your Kamado Joe into a rotisserie setup is easier than you think. With the JoeTisserie, installation is quick and tool-free—just remove the dome, place the wedge-shaped ring, and slide in the spit rod. The powerful 120V motor plugs into a standard outlet and starts rotating at the push of a button. From there, your grill does the rest—circulating heat and smoke for juicy, evenly cooked meats with zero babysitting required.
Top Recipes to Try When you Turn Your Grill into a Rotisserie-Style Grill:
- Whole Chicken: Crispy skin, juicy interior—no babysitting required.
- Prime Rib: Let the slow rotation and charcoal smoke do the work.
- Pork Loin, Ribs, or Shoulder: Lock in juices while creating an irresistible crust.
- Turkey: Even cooking without flipping or fussing.
Global Inspiration
Take your taste buds on a world tour. The JoeTisserie rotisserie-attachment lets you explore iconic street food styles and bold, global flavors—all from your backyard. Get ready to spin up something unexpected.
- Shawarma or Gyros: Stack, spin, slice, and savor.
- Bone on Ribeye "Matambre": Chef Eric Gephart was introduced to this stuffed beef years ago in the foothills of the Andes. Giving the matambre a spin on the Joetisserie allows the marrow from the frenched bones to render and roll over the surface of the beef, creating a crust second to none!
Creative Twists for Rotisserie Recipes on your Kamado Grill
Not just for meat: the JoeTisserie's versatility means you can think beyond the usual. From whole fish to stacked veggies, these ideas prove that creativity is the secret ingredient.
- Whole Fish: Stuff with herbs and lemon, clamp, and rotate.
Pro Techniques for Rotisserie Use
Ready to level up? These advanced techniques give you the tools to perfect your rotisserie game, from layering in flavor to mastering temperature control like a pitmaster.
- Sear: Use a meat probe and pull poultry around close to final temp. Then crank up the heat to finish with crispy, golden skin.
- Flavor-Infused Drippings: Catch juices in a drip pan to make smoky juices or gravy.
- Try a Flavor Injection: Use a compound butter injection (garlic + herbs) to add depth to your meat and keep it extra juicy.
- Coal-Aromatics: Toss citrus or herbs onto hot coals to layer extra flavor.
- Flavor with Wood Chunks: Once your charcoal is established, toss in a few wood chunks (like applewood) for an extra layer of mild smoke flavor.
- Use Large Charcoal Chunks: Larger lump charcoal burns longer and more evenly—ideal for extended cooks like poultry or larger roasts. We recommended Kamado Joe XL Lump Charcoal
- Coal Placement Matters: Instead of placing coals directly under the food, bank them toward the back of the grill. This helps prevent overcooking the center and ensures a more even cook across the entire rotation.
- Vent Control for Stability: Once lit, aim for 350–400°F. A good rule of thumb: bottom vent 1/3 open, top vent 2/3 open to hold steady heat.
