I have had mine for about a year now and I love it. I have prepared wing(basket needed) chicken, turkey, roasts(pork and beef). Everything turned out awesome.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Spinning with happiness!

My wife gave this to me for my birthday and I absolutely love it! The build quality is good and the spit is strong enough to use for turkeys I have done a 12 lb and 14 lb with no issues. They were some of the best I have ever had - the mas tender and juicy and perfectly cooked. My test runs were on chickens and they are great - next the lamb leg!
The wedge shape seals fairly well for lid closure and the aluminum ring is sturdy. I will say it does not perfectly fit the Big Joe's Interior/Exterior dimensions. Do not expect it to line up perfectly ( not sure why it is this way but it does not seem to impeded performance). I did deduct a star from the design category for this. Everything else is 5-Star.
Clicking the switch reverses the rotation direction which is useful - I have theories on why for which cooks - it is nice to have the choice.
This accessory has added even more enjoyment and usefulness to an already incredible tool.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Diameter fit is very poorly designed

I have the Classic 2. I bought this to do my turkey for thanksgiving. Seeing a bunch of videos with the skin too burned, I decided to do the JoeTisserie turkey with the heat deflector plates installed. This requires the divide and conquer rack to be in place. However...the JoeTisserie was designed with a lot smaller diameter than the diameter of the KC Classic 2. There is literally like an 1-2" difference on the inside diameter. This is completely unnecessary for the record...just poor design. The result is that the JoeTisserie cannot fit in the gap between the outside of the divide and conquer rack and inside of the grill itself. It literally has to sit on one side of the rack. This creates air gaps. For a product that is supposedly SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED for the KJ...this is ridiculous...did you guys not prototype this thing before starting production of it?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for sharing your experience. The JoeTisserie is designed to sit on the edge of the grill. While in use, the firebox should be the only installed interior, this accessory will not fit with the Divide and Conquer in place. The food should cook over an open flame, not with the deflectors in place. I am very sorry for the confusion. Please contact our Support team if we can be of further assistance or clarification.

Temperature control

HELP!
I bought the Joetisserie and have had EXTREME trouble in trying to control the pit temperature with the lid closed. Yesterday I cooked a 10 # turkey with a setpoint pit temp of 225. The temp climbed to almost 400 *. By that time I had shut the vents off and the temp continued to climb. I closed the vents around 275* to no avail. Finally at 400* I pulled the Joetisserie out closed the lid and the temp started dropping. After about an hour, i finally got the temp down to 225 -250, and cooked the turkey on the grate.

I am most disappointed with the Joetisserie as it appears that I can't cook with the lid closed?
I sure would appreciated some help. I've tried it 3 times with the same results.
Is there anyway to contact the people who have had a good experience. I sure do need their help.
Thanks for your help,

Did not work with Pellet grill, nowhere in description did it mention that it would not work on Pellet Grill. All other accesories that fit classic Jo, work with Pellet Jo. Aluminium ring and motor were all of good quality and well designed. I called customer service and was told it was not compatable, no other solution offered.

Terrible fit

I have the classic 2 and have bought cast iron , the ash basket , bought the smoke ware vent because the dome that came with it is not near as nice and binds up way too easy. But with all the add on’s still love using it weekly . Now I get the joetisserie . With high hopes I installed and what a failure in the fit , absolutely pathetic that it doesn’t fit.
I went back to see if I ordered the wrong one but nope. Just how it fits. As pricey as all the accessories are one would expect them to fit and be able to use with the divide and concur set up.
Now I’m in for over 2k with accessories and really wish I had looked into other smokers that are more versatile as I do like multiple types of cooking.
I was going to order the doughjoe next but I won’t be ordering any other accessories now.

Solid, sturdy, great rotisserie!

I received this as a gift, I love it! Chicken comes out super juicy and looking like it belongs in a magazine. I used it for our Thanksgiving turkey and it was a tight fit but it still did the job and the turkey came out amazingly. I think it's a great addition to any Kamado Joe.
