To measure for the proper fit of the rotisserie spit rod replacement. Take a tape measure and measure the width of your grill where the rotisserie is mounted, across the notches for the rotisserie is ideal. Most grill bodies get narrower at the bottom and top so measuring in the proper spot is important.

You should also look at your rotisserie motor to be sure it has a square drive. A hex rod will work in a square drive but a square rod will not work in a hex drive. The rod should also fit into your motor a little loose. Heat from the grilling process will expand the metal of the rod, so if it is a tight fit to begin with you may not be able to remove it from the motor when it is hot.

Warnings for the rotisserie spit rod replacement

The metal rod gets hot when in use, always wear hand protection when handling. Spit rods should always be kept and stored out reach of children.
