Purchased the basic version.
Assembly was fairly easy.
Did tri tips first used which were directly on the grill, using wood chips.
Worked great.
2nd use....problems.
Two chickens on Rotisserie.
It ran for 3/4 of an hour and when i went to check it, the motorr assembly has become disassembled and was no longer rotating the spit.
The motor is housed Ina. 2 piece metal box. Inside 1 end is a cooling fan and the motor is inside on the other (spot facing) either motor is attached to the inside of the metal box with 4 Philips head boktsthat run through the corners of the motor assembly and should be secured with 4 nuts.
The motor had shook loose from the inside if the metal box.
I found only 1 bolt and nut were still in place and I could hear a nut that was loose inside the box.
When I got the box apart I discovered the motor has only been secured with 2 bolts and buts and the other two bolts did not have nuts attached.
LuckilyvI had nuts in my tool area that fit. I added lock washers to all four bolts and reattached the motor to the inside of the box and put it back onto the grill frame.
The motor appeared to be working fine and I was able to run the chicken s over the coals for another hour.
Unfortunately the chickens had sat one side facing down during rhe motor failure for as much as 15 minutes and they were cooking g unevenly.
I had to finish them in the oven.
I don't think the motor was damaged although some grease was expelled from the spindle at some point so I cannot say with certainty no damage was done.
If you purchase this item, I recommend opening the motor assembly and inspecting the motor mount bolts and adding some lock washers.
This could be a "one off" but I am guessing some assembly worker got lazy and only put nuts on 2 of the 4 bolts, and didn't even tighten those up properly.
Buyer beware as they say.
I'm not giving up on Vevor however
