Yes, every Summit Smart FS38X gas grill comes equipped with rotisserie motor, forks and spit for slow-roasting. The heavy-duty, integrated rotisserie fits multiple chickens and large cuts of meat such as prime rib and leg of lamb. As food rotates under the top-down infrared broiler, it crisps and browns evenly while locking in juices. The tuck-away motor folds down when not in use to free up side table space.

Push panel down until it snaps securely in place. 

Rotisserie Fork Storage- Remove forks from rotisserie shaft. Store rotisserie forks by placing them on the hooks located within the grill cabinet (F). 

Rotisserie Shaft Storage - Store the rotisserie shaft on the hooks on the back of the grill (G). 

Measure 2 cups of wood chips and spread them evenly across bottom of the smoker box. Close the smoker box lid and place the box on top of the grill grates, aligned over burner #1.

Remember:

• Always use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when operating your grill.
• Always grill with the lid closed to allow the smoke to fully penetrate the food.
• When you're finished smoking, turn burners off and close the grill lid until the wood chips have extinguished.
• Remove smoker box from the grill if not in use.
• Always follow your grill/smoker owner’s guide for specific setup and usage instructions.
• Weber brand wood chips are available in several varieties to find the smoke flavor that best suits your taste.

Low temperatures, uneven heat, and food sticking to cooking grates are all signs that cleaning and maintenance are overdue. When your grill is off and cool, start by cleaning the inside, from the top down. A thorough cleaning is recommended at least twice a year. Consistent use may require quarterly cleanings.
