This basket fits perfectly on my webber grill rotisserie. So far I have used it for chicken leg quarters and it has worked very well. When weather warms up I plan to use it on vegetables and maybe a gyros.

Best Deals for OneGrill Hexagon Tumble Rotisserie Basket - Fits Large Spit Rods

I like grilling, and I like my rotisserie, so a hexagonal spit basket sounded like it would be a good addition to my bbq toolbox. However, I had read a lot of negative reviews of products of this type from other manufacturers, (check out the comments that have been left for the Napoleon Rotisserie 64003 Tumble Basket, Non-stick or the GrillPro 24764 Non-Stick Tumble Basket).

At first glance, the OneGrill product looked the same as the others, but it had no comments at all, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Look closely at the picture of this product & you'll see that this is made up of two (identical) half-cages, each of which has a screw at one end, and a hole (OK a bent bar) at the other end. You put the two halves face to face, thread the spit through the holes and tighten the screws. There's not a lot to go wrong.

These cages are mostly intended to be used for making grilled vegetables, and I'm sure they do that well enough. But I found a different purpose for mine that you may want to consider. I am a big fan of Alton Brown's "Good Eats" TV show, and I was especially enthralled by his program about making Gyros at home (it's on youtube with a title something like 'my big fat greek sandwich"). Essentially, his recipe calls for you to make a kind of a lamb meatloaf, skewer it and put it on a rotisserie (and I'm talking about a horizontal rotisserie, since most of us don't have a vertical unit like the ones you see in Greek restaurants). According to the comments on the foodnetwork site, a number of people who tried it found that the meatloaf fell apart while it was turning on the spit. Not good....

Enter the OneGrill basket. I made the loaf per Brown's recipe, and put it in the cage before skewering it. The cage holds the meat together so there is no danger of the gyros loaf tumbling down into the firebox while you're cooking. The results were nothing short of amazing.

Now admittedly, the cage is HOT when you take it off the grill, and taking it apart while it's hot can be a problem so it doesn't address all the complaints about the Napoleon & GrillPro cages but hey you're barbecuing, what do you expect?.. I suspect I'm going to find a lot more uses for this thing.

Honest reviews on OneGrill Hexagon Tumble Rotisserie Basket - Fits Large Spit Rods

I had a tumble basket about 15 years ago that was cylindrical with a door on the side. That worked great. Lost that in the divorce, so purchased this one, since the only other cylindrical basket with trap door was ALOT more money. This basket works ok. Used it once so far with drumsticks. Pieces of chicken fell off the bone out into grill and some drumstick ends got stuck in spaces. Had to monitor it a lot and rescue pieces that fell out (tasty rescue for me!). The two halves of the basket do not fit together well which creates a large gap that would certainly allow smaller food to fall through. Next time I will figure a way to jury rig the two halves together (wire or something) so it doesn't shift during tumbling and let out food. For the price it is as I expected based on other reviews. So just manage your expectations when purchasing. I don't make tumble chicken/food too much to justify the splurge of the higher quality cylindrical one I see online. Would not recommend or buy again

As others have noted, this item comes with no instructions, fits loosely, and cannot be used for veges, etc as it moves from side to side as it tumbles, exposing a relatively large gap. Works well for large items, such as chicken legs, etc., which is what we bought it for, so it gets three stars. Looks like you have to move way up to the next level to get one that really works. We are using this on 22" Weber with rotisserre.
