This unit came with a hefty counterweight which attaches at the opposite end of the rod. I'll probably need it when roasting a 15lb turkey...

But I agree, rotisseries are not as popular as they once were. In fact, I think Weber even discontinued their rotisserie kits for a while a little while back.

I did spareribs today on the rotiss. It went for about 4 hours @ about 275° on a basket of charcoal. A clay potting saucer is covered in foil for easy cleanup. The saucer shields the direct heat and provides thermal mass for steady temps.
