THE SPIT & FORKS
The rotisserie can handle large food items up to 50 lbs. You should prepare your food items and
first mount it on the spit, then mount the forks. Push the pointed end of the spit through the food
and center on the spit. Push on one fork and embed into the food, then tighten the thumb screw
(use pliers if necessary). Repeat this process for the opposite fork. You should wrap any loose,
dangling pieces of food (like wings) with butcher’s string (never use nylon or plastic string).
With the food secured to the spit, slowly roll the spit in the palms of your hands to check for
balance. It should rotate smoothly. If you find it has a heavy side, adjust where the spit pierces the
meat. An unbalanced spit will cause uneven rotation and uneven cooking. It is normal for the spit
to flex with large foods during cooking.
Then mount the spit on the grill before lighting the rotisserie infrared burner. Lighting the burner
first could result in burning your hands while trying to mount the spit in the grill. Insert the
pointed end of the spit into the square drive receiver in the right wall of the grill, and rest the other
end on the rollers on the left wall of the grill. Turn on the motor to check the rotation and balance
of the food on the spit. Make adjustments as needed.
THE ROTISSERIE BURNER
The Hestan infrared rotisserie burner features a safety valve that automatically shuts off the gas
flow any time the burner is not properly lit, such as if it were to go out in windy conditions. The
location of the rotisserie burner should be less susceptible to strong wind conditions, but during
windy conditions, it’s best to keep the hood closed and to periodically check the burner. To light
the burner, see the LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual.
NOTICE: Avoid directing water on the Rotisserie Burner as this may damage the ceramic burner
panels. Water damage to your Rotisserie Burner is not covered by the warranty.
NOTE: The grill thermometer should not be used for rotisserie cooking. It is not designed to read
direct infrared heat.
COOKING WITH SIDE BURNERS
Your Hestan Side Burner is a powerful cooking tool that complements your Hestan Grill. DO NOT
leave the Side Burner unattended while cooking.
Use your Hestan Side Burner like you would any residential gas cooktop in your home. Choose the
appropriate pot or pan for the burner. In other words, don’t put a small pot over a large burner.
For safety reasons, control the flame height so that it doesn’t go beyond, or curl up the sides of
your pot or pan. This behavior results in poor heating of the contents of the pan, burnt food on
the sides of the pan, wasted fuel, etc.
WOOD CHIP SMOKER
By using real wood chips in the smoker system of your Hestan grill, you can add extra flavor to all
of your grilled foods.
1. Soak the wood chips for at least 30 minutes before you plan to use the smoker. Drain
completely.
2. Fill the smoker tray with the drained wood chips.
3. Place the smoker tray on the cooking grate where the temperature is correct to smolder the
chips, not burn them. You do not want the chips to ignite. Smoke should begin in about
20-30 minutes.
4. When there is no more smoke, use the removal tool supplied with the smoker tray to carefully
remove it from the grill. Allow it to cool completely before attempting to refill the tray with
more chips.
