Great addition to the rotisserie feature on my Weber grill. UPDATE!
This basket is very sturdy and can handle just about anything. I like being able to put smaller items on the rotisserie with this basket. I wish I had taken a picture of the chicken thighs after they were cooked. They came out perfect. The basket takes a little time to learn how to use but once you get used to it and see its advantages, it's a great barbecue tool. I can rotisserie vegetables with certain Meats. The only thing my spit and forks is good for is a whole chicken or a whole rack of ribs. Everything else goes in the basket. I can secure the food or let it turn and Tumble just depending on the kind of food I'm cooking. Great addition to my Weber grill.Update: As much as I love using this premium BBQ tool, I found the one drawback. It's horrendous to clean. I've tried a small wire brush, Brillo pads, Barkeepers Friend, and grease busters. I cleaned for hours. The only thing that seems to work better is Dawn Platinum. Apply it straight and let it soak for a few minutes. Then use a small wire brush. I'd like to know if I can use oven cleaner on the basket. That would be so much easier. Or can I put it in my self-cleaning oven--better yet! I'll ask the manufacturer and let you know.

Great Basket
Once I figured out how to assemble it, it worked like a charm. I did a batch of chicken wings on my Kamado Big Joe and they were perfect. I was going to spray it with PAM, but i forgot, but after leaving it in the sink to soak for an hour, it cleaned up by just wiping it with a sponge.Clever engineering and solid materials.

Well Thought-Out, Solid Construction
Bought this along with OneGrill's rotisserie kit. LOL - these two add-ons cost more than the grill itself! Did we get our money's worth? I'd say yes.Versatile, and built with high-grade materials. You won't find anything close to this quality at discount/big box stores. I've used tumblers and flat racks before, it's nice to have one basket that does both. So far we've run 4 chicken quarters using the flat racks, and a 3 pound batch of wings in the tumbler. Both came out perfecto, and there was still room left for more food. I'd say this is the perfect size for smaller grills - ours is 25" X 17" at the grill surface. For larger upscale models, you'll likely want to add a second one if you do big loads on a regular basis. For some folks, the additional cost may be worth it.No setup is required. Just yank it out of the box and slide it onto your spit. Two large stainless phillips screws secure basket to the spit rod. Much easier to tighten (w/screwdriver) than thumbscews, and once tightened they stay put. The rack and basket panels are easily adjusted, it's pretty intuitive to set up the way you want. If all goes well, you'll be ready to start cooking in 15 minutes.But - there's one important thing to consider:OneGrill states that the basket exterior measures 4.75" inches above and below the spit at it's 2 widest points. But the minimum clearance isn't enough to insure the drum won't scrape the grill surface. In some cases, it may actually hang up on the grates, possibly damaging your motor. I measured the spit-to-grate distance before ordering, and it was a little over 4.75". I thought.that was close enough, but no - it hit the surface when the wide points spun over.the grate. FAIL...It was close, though, so I attempted to tweak both the basket and the spit mounts for more clearance. A combination of bending the curved panels and raisng the spit did the trick. Works like a champ now. I'd suggest that you allow at least 5" between spit and grate to prevent this. Otherwise you'll have to modify your setup, or remove one or more grates (and maybe some flare-up guards below the grates). I want to keep my grates in place if possible, but that's just me. If that doesn't matter to you, just yank the grate(s) before each use - that's better than risking a serious problem.As for cleaning - well, don't get your hopes up. It's the nature of the beast to get gunked up. It helps to spray some Grill Pam inside the basket, but it's still gonna get cruddy over time. It does break down easily, though, so I see no reason you couldn't soak the parts overnight then run 'em through the nuclear cycle of your dishwasher. After 2 runs, I haven't found the need for a complete cleaning yet. It looks dirty, but hasn't affected flavor yet. We'll see - perhaps a little curing is a good thing.

and I'm glad I did
The price seems high at first, but I had just discarded a cheaper enameled wire basket. The enamel was flaking off, adding an unwelcome crunch to my BBQ ribs. Besides it had been really hard to clean. This basket serves as both tumbler and flat basket. I decided to treat myself, and I'm glad I did. It's well designed and well made. It's real stainless steel, not the kind that rusts. No coating to flake off. It dismantles far enough that it fits into the dishwasher. I like it a lot. My only (minor) gripe is that the screws that hold the basket to the grill rod can come off in the dishwasher. I wish the manufacturer had included a few extra screws.

Had to modify it, now it does it all
As it was built, it works great for whole chickens, but any meat under an inch and a quarter thick flops around, so I did three things, made my own spit, out of 1/2 inch x 13 threads per inch threaded rod, and set it up on new 1/2 inch thick aluminum brackets, which opened up the center of the cage, and bent the grip rods of one of the flat grills provided, to cut minimum distance to about a half inch. Now I can BBQ anything from skinny pork chops, or chicken thighs, up to a 9-10 lb chicken . . Oh heavenly glazed n juicy everything. Using one of the curved grill inserts for the top grill, with a flat grill insert on the bottom, stabilizes a whole fryer really well.

Gaps are large
Holes were too large to use as a Tumble basket if your going to do anything smaller then wings. Amazon took my return and i got a different basket from webber that can even tumble shrimp and veg in (wich was my intent). It seems very sturdy though the steel is thick. Just wouldn't fit my purpose.

Amazingly Well Engineered & Easy to Clean!
Super Easy to Clean because of the high polish stainless steel. I was shocked how easy after fighting with fish baskets that stick like crazy. The 302 type stainless steel is a rare find of quality. (Stainless Steel has grade numbers identifying quality and other metals that make it better). I have never seen anything this high quality and well constructed in a BBQ accessory for consumer grade use. Also like the assortment of pinch grille shelf settings. Very well thought out by someone who is probably a perfectionist master griller. Well worth the $ as it will outlive the grille.
