Frequently asked questions
Is the Spitjack CXB85 compatible with gas grills?
The CXB85 is listed as a charcoal-fuel accessory. If you have a gas grill, verify the dimensions (31 x 13 x 8 inches) and your grill's rotisserie mount before purchasing, as compatibility depends on your specific grill model.
Why is the CXB85 priced so high compared to other rotisserie baskets?
The price reflects its all-stainless steel construction and large dimensions. Stainless steel costs more than plated or painted alternatives but resists corrosion and warping at high temps far better over time. It is built for regular, heavy use rather than occasional grilling.
How do I clean a stainless steel rotisserie basket after use?
Let it cool fully before handling. Scrub off charred residue with a stiff grill brush or non-abrasive scrubber and warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry before storing. Stainless steel does not require seasoning the way cast iron does.
