Hello to all. Typically in the past I have known what I wanted in equipment. Not so with this decision. Looking to buy a cajun bandit rotisserie sometime this year.
I use my 22" performer several times a week for dinner. I just received my slow and sear and stainless grate after two seasons with the stock grate (that I burned out with the vortex) and Weber baskets.
I have owned a wsm 18 since around 2006. It's the perfect size for me in terms of size and performance.
I also have had a very very used 22 silver kettle I got for free off Craigslist years ago.
I'm not sure which is the better way to go. I don't typically want to empty out the performer to use the rotisserie every time. So I'm thinking of turning the beat up 22 kettle into a dedicated vortex cooker with a gourmet grill and throw the rotisserie on that.
Mostly want the rotisserie for whole chickens, prime rib roasts and possibly pork loin or higher heat shoulder roasts for pork sandwiches. But of course I'm sure I'll find other uses for it.
Does a kettle vs wsm perform better in this role? I assume a wsm may possibly struggle to hit desired high temps.
