Summerset Rotisserie Kit for the 40 inch Sizzler and Sizzler Pro: A turning spit for whole chickens and large roasts
The Summerset Rotisserie Kit for the 40 inch Sizzler and Sizzler Pro is a motor and spit set for roasting on your grill. Rotisserie means the meat turns slowly over the heat and bastes itself, for whole chickens, pork loin, and prime rib. It fits only the 40 inch Sizzler and Sizzler Pro, which share this kit. The spit rod is cut to the grill width. Other Sizzler sizes each take their own kit.
In the box are a stainless steel motor rated for 40 pounds, a spit rod, a set of forks that hold the meat on the rod, and a counterweight. The counterweight balances an uneven roast so the motor turns it smoothly, and Summerset backs the kit with a lifetime warranty. This kit suits cooks who want to roast whole cuts rather than turn them by hand. The optional 44 inch rotisserie storage bag on this page holds the whole kit between cooks. Have a smaller Sizzler? See the Summerset Rotisserie Kit for the 32 inch Sizzler and Sizzler Pro. The Summerset Rotisserie Kit for the 40 inch Sizzler and Sizzler Pro ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
What grills take the ROTKIT-SZR40?
The 40-inch Sizzler Pro and 40-inch Sizzler – the largest grills in the series. The kit’s spit rod spans that full-width body, which is why it is not interchangeable with the shorter kits made for the 25- and 32-inch Sizzler grills.
How big can I go on this rotisserie?
The heavy-duty motor is rated for 40 pounds, and the 40-inch chamber gives you the spit length to actually use it: three or four chickens in a row, a whole turkey, or a large boneless leg of lamb are all realistic loads for the ROTKIT-SZR40.
Does fuel type matter for using the rotisserie?
No – the kit works identically whether your 40-inch Sizzler runs natural gas or is a propane grill. The rotisserie only cares about steady heat under a turning spit, and both fuel setups deliver exactly that.
What pieces are included?
The ROTKIT-SZR40 packs a stainless steel motor, fork set, counterbalance, and spit rod. Everything needed to start roasting is in the box except storage – for this kit, the 44-inch rotisserie bag is the one sized to fit.
Why does a long spit need a counterbalance more?
Leverage. On a 40-inch span, an off-center roast exerts more twisting force on the motor with every turn. The included counterweight offsets that load so the ROTKIT-SZR40 spins big, lopsided cuts as smoothly as it spins a single chicken.
Any tips for a first rotisserie turkey?
Truss it tightly so the wings and legs cannot swing, center it between the ROTKIT-SZR40 forks, and set the counterbalance opposite the breast side. Then leave the hood down and let the rotation handle the basting over the 40-inch Sizzler’s burners.
What is the warranty coverage?
Summerset’s Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty covers the ROTKIT-SZR40 – industry-leading, designed to protect it for life. Motor-driven accessories rarely get lifetime backing anywhere, which makes this kit an easy add-on to justify on a 40-inch grill.
