It's great to see how the RK drum business is doing! What I can't understand, however, is what to me seems like the biggest fault with the whole process-good bearings for the rotisserie rod to spin on. On the site I see that they still show the rods sitting on the side of the grill. Noise! Grill metal being eaten on every turn!
Good grief, I did that for one week before I couldn't stand it anymore and had a machinist make me some graphite saddles held up by little steel open topped boxes bolted to the outside of the grill box. Others use some kind of heat resistant, off the shelf bearings.that sit (IIRC) in the rotisserie cutouts, around the rod.
The latch looks good, but I'm still ok with the paper clip I replaced the cotter pin and chain with. Needle nosed pliers to pull it out with, easy.
