THe Firemagic rotisserie basket cost almost twice as much as others. It had the advantage of being made of stainless steel which means it should last longer. I only wish the construction, especially the clamping mechanism, were a little more substantial.

So I uploaded a couple photos of the basket and my spit... and yes, a tightly fit chicken for the first grill session. The chicken came out juicy and crisp from inside to out and was perfectly cooked... but that's not what we're here to review. The basket is sturdy, well built but could use a few adjustments.

Like others have said, and like many baskets for rotisserie, the screw mounts tend to be a little flimsy. I'm looking for some spacers or maybe to even weld a smaller mount plate to it and get a snug fit. All-in-all, it holds everything really firm. As you can see, that chicken didn't fall out and the basket didn't bend to badly. Next weekend we're trying to do wings on it and see how well the basket works with little things.

Pros:

solid gauge steel

not coated

fits any spit to up 3/4" (IF your spit is 3/4" what on earth are you roasting?)

easy handling

pinching/clamp side is easy to use

Cons:

screw mount could be a little beefier

no 'adapter plate' for smaller spits (not that I expected to see one, but it'd be nice as an optional component)

The metal that holds the set screws is thin and should be braced. As the screws are tightened onto the spit rod, the metal flexes. I drilled slighty recessed holes in the spit rod for the wingnuts to catch. I also use a set of forks on the rod to help turn the basket. I love the stainless steel as it is easy to keep clean.

the opening for the Rotisserie Rod is to large and I have one of the larges Rotisserie's on the market, the basket is not long enough for a slab of ribs. and its light weight for the price.

This basket is made very well with one excepting. The size of the hole where you put the spit through is way to big. I do not know why it is so big, because it makes it difficult to attach the basket to the regular size spit that comes with your rotisserie. To solve the problem, I use the forks that came with the rotisserie to hold the basket in place. That works great, but is a hassle to attach. I use this basket quite often when cooking chicken and other things on my BBQ. I have found that the cheap chrome baskets, the chrome wears off easly, and in a matter of a few months they start to rust. This Stainless basket has no such problem, andI use it a lot.
