Frequently Asked Questions
I would love to use The Rib-O-Lator on my grill but
I do not have a rotisserie rod and motor assembly - where
do I get one?
You can buy rotisserie rods and motor kits at places
that normally sell barbecues - such as Home Depot, Lowes,
outdoor living stores and sometimes smaller hardware stores
will carry them too. You can also buy them off the internet.
What about a cordless motor . . . does that work
with The Rib-O-Lator?
Yes, in fact that is what I use on mine. It takes two
D-cell batteries and they last all season. Generally,
rotisserie motors can rotate up to 25 lbs. of food,
which is a lot.. A battery-operated motor also gives you
more freedom on where you can take your barbecue since
you won't need to be near an outlet.
My Rib-O-Lator doesn't rotate smoothly... how come?
Have you distributed your food evenly? For example, if you are cooking four hamburgers,
don't put them all on one tray. Put two of them on one tray and two on the opposite tray for balance.
Always try to balance your food as much as possible.
The Rib-O-Lator doesn't quite have enough room on my
gas grill to rotate without hitting my grill. What can I
do?
the first thing you should do is look at the
will it fit my grill
page to make sure your grill has enough room. If it
does, then you can take a picture or video and send it
to us and we will diagnose the problem for you.
Can I cook different kinds of food at the same time
on The Rib-O-Lator?
Yes, you can have fish on one tray, ribs on another,
hamburgers, hot dogs on another, etc. Your food will be
done at different times so take each off when ready --
for safety, stop the rotisserie and use oven mitts.
Should my barbecue lid be open or closed when using
The Rib-O-Lator?
Generally, it should be closed. This maintains the
most even temperature within the barbecue. If you want
to lower the cooking temperature quickly for some
reason, you can open the lid. This is also good if the
food is cooked and you just want to keep it warm until
serving.
Should I use oil on The Rib-O-Lator trays?
You can wipe the tray with any kind of oil you want
to help the food release easier. You can also use
products such as Pam spray.
(CAUTION! APPLY OIL ONLY WHEN TRAYS ARE COLD,
SO AS NOT TO BURN YOURSELF)
What is the best way to clean The Rib-O-Lator?
The best way is to rinse them off while they are
still warm. You can also disassemble and put the trays
in your dishwasher -- including the brackets.
For heavy baked on food, you can also soak the parts,
and then use a metal or other type of scrub pad.
