Burnt exterior
If the exterior of your food is burning while using a rotisserie, here are some troubleshooting tips to help you fix the issue:
1. Control Flare-Ups
-
Problem: Fat drippings cause flare-ups that burn the exterior.
-
Solution:
-
Trim excess fat from the meat before cooking.
-
Avoid opening the grill lid too often, as it can cause sudden bursts of oxygen and flare-ups.
-
2. Check the Distance from Heat Source
-
Problem: Food is too close to the heat source.
-
Solution: Adjust the height or position of the rotisserie spit to increase the distance between the food and the heat.
3. Balance the Meat
-
Problem: Uneven rotation causes one side to be overexposed to heat.
-
Solution: Ensure the meat is evenly balanced on the spit rod for consistent rotation.
4. Clean the Rotisserie regularly
-
Problem: Burnt residues on the grill or heating elements cause excessive smoke and scorching.
-
Solution: Clean your grill and rotisserie thoroughly before cooking to remove old grease or debris.
