Do I need a counter balance weight to accompany my rotisserie motor?

We highly recommend a counterbalance when cooking large cuts of meat or whole animals. This counteracts the heavy side of the meat and stops the “falling effect” which puts additional pressure on your rotisserie motor. You could say that a counterbalance weight is an insurance policy for the health and longevity of your spit motor.

Most of our spit rotisseries come standard with the 30kg MO001 motor and for 90% of applications, this motor is more than adequate. However, if you are planning to turn really large animals a 60kg or 100kg motor may be beneficial for your usage.
