This is an excellent tool for BBQ fans. Easy to assemble, install and use. It is the quality you would expect from Weber and is simple to use. The manual says it’s good for up to 20#, and it looks like it will hold at least that much. Before purchasing this rotisserie, I read several reviews that complained about difficulties in assembling and operating the unit. These people probably shouldn’t be allowed around open flames....there are not very many mechanical tools on this planet that are easier to use. I highly recommend this rotisserie if you enjoy your BBQ.
