WIll this motor handle a Turkey? ~15lbs? Our last motor did ok for a couple but this past TG, it died while I was cooking the turkey.

I'm not sure. The most we've had on there is probably 10lbs or a little less.

I don't know. I bought it to create a rotating spot light for a photo shoot. The flashlight weighs 7lbs.

i have had good results so far, keep the motor away from the heat, approx 3 inches or more.

I cooked a 10lb roast already and will cook a 15lb turkey tomorrow. No problems

Can't help much, Catherine. I bought the rotisserie based on the 40# capacity mentioned in the ad. I have done 25# birds in both the kettle and gas Weber grills with pretty good results. Only the wingtips were fried crispy. Really didn't care about the wingtips. I bought this rotisserie in the hope that I could do a 20-25# stuffed bird for Thanksgiving. I would imagine that care will have to be exercised in balancing the load so as not to ask the motor to do too much, but can't see why this rotisserie would be overly taxed to do a piece that is only 66% of the advertised load.

My personal experience, the motor gets gummed up and breaks way too easily as it cannot handle much other than squishy vegetables and fruits. I would save your money and go for a food processor that has a better motor and blade mechanic.

Don't know how much weight your talking about but I can do 2 chickens at a time easy on mine. Even out of balance it's fine. I have tried to stall the motor and I can not with one hand. Remember that the spit needs to match the motor.

Greg, sorry for the delay. On this paticular model, I'm not sure how well it would handle a chicken. None the less, even with perfect heating elements, given the size of the inside of the over it would have to be a small chicken due to height restrictions.

Yes, it can handle a 14-pound turkey. The lid is domed and the inside is spacious. You will need to monitor the temperature of the grill, but certainly feasible. Yummy!

I use ground turkey for making jerky. I could easily load 4 lbs at a time, 5 if I tried.. of course using ground meat may be different than sliced meat as far as weight goes. It could depend upon thickness etc. .

Dear Mikle, I recently bought this engine and it is very strong but very small. For your plane I would highly suggest to buy this motor.

I've cooked whole chickens, beef and pork roasts in the pressure cooker all weighing over 3 lbs. Just make sure it doesn't fill the pan more than 2/3 full to allow it to steam. I recently cooked a turkey breast weighing over 5 lbs., however I did have to remove the backbone before I could fit it in the pressure cooker. Since I slow cooked the turkey breast instead of pressure cooking it, I didn't have to worry about how full it was. I came out juicy and tender. Soo good!

Unfortunately the answer is not likely. This motor will turn a 100lb load that is very well balanced. That being said a pig is inherently not well balanced so I would recommend no larger than 80lbs. for a pig. 100 pounds for a turkey, chicken, etc.

I haven't taken it out of the box yet but did read it would cook a 12 lb turkey.

Yes, I used it to fry a 14 pound Turkey . So I am sure it can handle wings. I used the strainer which made it easier to retrieve the turkey from the oil.

It depend on size of turkey I did 20lb which I use 2 1/2 gal also I dispose of oil after one use hope this help .

I believe this motor is a universal size. My grill is a Member Mark from Costco and it fit it fine. It looks to be the same size as on my other grill. You will enjoy this motor as it is silent running, can handle a 20 lb. turkey with no problem.

Keep in mind the Farberware rotisserie comes in 2 sizes, the larger one would easily handle a 14lb turkey, the smaller, prob a 10-12lb.

This model worked wonderful for meat chickens (2-3 at a time). However when we tried a 23 pound turkey it did not work well at all, we ended up plucking it by hand.

The most weight I have ever had on it was a chicken that was just a hair under 5 pounds. I just happened to re-read an old post that I had written about this rottiserie and someone who commented on it said that she had cooked a 10 pound prime rib roast on it. I would listen carefully to the motor. It makes a different sound when it is straining too hard. I think I might be nervous to put that much weight on mine, only because it is getting more difficult to find replacement parts (right now only available on e-bay) since this rotisserie is not made any more. Too bad! I hope they bring it back! The most weight I have ever had on it was a chicken that was just a hair under 5 pounds.
