Purchased these for our Weber Spirit grill. They both work wonderful with our grill. We just roasted Hatch green chillies and they were perfect.

I’ve now used this basket for roasting New Mexico green chiles four times - previously, I’ve roasted green chilies pretty much every way possible and never really settled on a single great method (on the grill, over a gas flame, in the oven etc.). With this basket you toss in 8-10 green chiles, snap the basket on the rotisserie rod, start the rotisserie, fire up the grill and 10-15 minutes later you have perfectly roasted chiles. Toss them in a covered bowl to sweat for 20-30 minutes and your chiles are ready to peel! So easy!!

I agree with the other reviews that it’s super disappointing that Weber couldn’t drop in a few recipes - they mention in the instructions that you can make french fries, brussels sprouts and even popcorn - but not a single recipe - what - am I supposed to experiment with popcorn in the basket - Please?!?!

Also - This isn’t a basket where you sauce up your food and then put it in the grill basket to cook - it will not cook properly - the basket mesh will clog with and sort of thick sauce - this is really more of a dry roasting method basket.

This was a Christmas gift to a friend. He's a BBQ expert. He used it to make wings. He loved it.

Yesterday evening I used my new Weber Rotisserie Basket for the first time smoke roasting potatoes first, then delicate broccoli crowns second. Weber designers are geniuses as I believe they thought of everything. After washing the unit with mild dish detergent, I oiled the basket inside and out prior to oak/hickory smoking some potatoes with onion, green pepper, garlic, olive oil and other seasonings. The basket effortlessly slid onto the spit, the stainless unit opens and closes effortlessly, two spring-loaded clasps lock the basket halves closed, and one notices right away that the basket is very solid and well-built.

I checked the potatoes at one point, and opened the hot basket. The spring-loaded U-shaped clamps on the clasps pop right open just by releasing them! Very easy and much appreciated when handling hot food. I remember thinking to myself at that point, "They thought of everything down to the tiniest of details!"

The potatoes were awesome, then I put in broccoli crowns seasoned with dark Asian sesame oil, sea salt, and fresh cracked peppercorns. My thought was as fragile as broccoli crowns are, if they hold up to the rotisserie, then I can cook virtually anything in this basket. The delicate broccoli crowns showed no signs of bruising or falling apart, and they turned out absolutely delicious.

Clean-up is simple since I pre-oiled the basket with a paper towel soaked in vegetable oil. This is a gem of a product, and like the rotisserie it fits on, it is a "must have" in your repertoire of grilling and barbequing accessories.

Now I can roast my NM chili's right before making a feast! Oh, and the roasted veggies don't have to be fished out from underneath the grill! There is more to explore, more adventurous grilling to be tried out. And this basket makes it possible!

Not gonna lie, I've been stalking this since I saw "coming summer 2022" on the website and bought it the first chance I got. I love it!

I've used it to roast veggies, make popcorn (the kiddos were impressed!) and had a chance to use the divider to do a sweeter roasted butternut squash dish on one side and a more savory mix on the other. The divider did a nice job of keeping the two sides separated with everything cooking nicely. My next dish will be chicken wings for the big game.

Its easy to load, though the hinge being on what would be facing you when the basket is on the spit makes for a little awkwardness locking it down and opening it back up to remove from the spit, though nothing deal breaking.

In all a great way to roast one or two side dishes, and with the larger 4 burner grills, there is room to add meal components. Would definitely recommend!

Got mine recently and will try it out soon. Big enough for all your projects. I like design and comparing to similar products - it feels right. Please keep up with others Weber Crafted ideas.

The basket is sturdy and well made. My only complaint come with clean-up. The holes are so small that if I try and cook chicken wings, coated with BBQ sauce, the sauce becomes stuck in the holes. As it cooks, the BBQ sauce become harden and the only way to clean it is with a hard sharp tool to poke into each hole.

Used it for the first time today to cook some kebabs, very pleased with the results.

It would be nice to have a booklet with recipes in the box when an item lid this is purchased. Other Weber products have included recipes. Should one use direct or indirect heat while using the basket?
