Method

Set up the grill for rotisserie grilling following the instructions and preheat to medium-high. If using a charcoal grill, place a large drip pan in the center. If using a gas grill, place all the wood chips or chunks, if desired, in the smoker box or in a smoker pouch and preheat on high until you see smoke, then reduce the heat
