Has anyone tried to install a Rotisserie on a RT BFG 2500?

I keep thinking that I'd like to add a rotisserie to either of my Recteqs, 1400XL and 380. But I also keep coming back to why? I'm not cooking over a direct heat; it's way more of an oven than a charcoal BBQ? What would a rotisserie actually do for me?

Crashwood: are you thinking whole hog? I have a BFG but have not considered a rotisserie. What are your thoughts.

JG Mantle: I used to use a Weber 22" Kettle with its rotisserie kit and charcoal spreaders + drip pan as my go to rotisserie. I really used it more for lamb, beef, and pork roasts than for chickens. It's downfall was always the charcoal management.

I just set up my brand new BD 380X and you have to know that I have my eye out for a Weber or Clone Rotisserie kit. I will run a long rectangular drip pan under the spit from side to side and let the uncovered vents on the heat diffuser provide the "relatively" direct heat. I have a good feeling about this and it was another reason why I have acquired my 380-x.

I guess great minds really do travel together.

Let me know what your do.
