How is the motor for rotisserie powered? Do you have to plug it in?

Yes. It uses standard household current. I use an outdoor extension cord since my grill is a ways from an outlet.

The rotisserie needs to be plugged in but the lights are battery operated on only go on when the lid is open.

The electric start on mine is powered by plugging in to 120 AC. It's a Animal, but I've been able to pull start it. Not hard to pull, I think the electric start is a good option in case it gets stubborn i.e. bad gas from long term storage. enjoy!

It's electric and plugs into a 110v outlet. You will most likely need an extension cord since the one on the motor is only a couple of feet max. Not a major issue though. So far it works well.

It lights great and only required batteries for ignition. You will need to an electrical outlet for the rotisserie and cooking light.

It doesn't come with a cord if that is where you were going, but yes if it's wired correctly, it can be plugged directly into an outlet. I would put a switch in somewhere so it's more controllable and the motor needs to be mounted.

Yes. Design problem but company will not admit it. The motor will stop working all together next. You can purchase 51205 25x47x15 Thrust Bearing on Amazon and get some high temp grease. I also recommend buying another motor as a back up to. You don't have to buy it from Blackstone. I have two OneGrill Cordless Grill Rotisserie Motors - 25 lb. Load W/ AC Adapter Sold by: OneGrill LLC - BBQ Products on Amazon.

The Power source is through the same cable as the signal for the Rotary motor. There is a small battery operated hand controller. It rotates either left or right with a press of a button. Very simple installation. Work's well.

You can tell the rotisserie is turning but it is not noisy. If your's is overly loud I would consider returning it for a replacement. I love my rotisserie and how quick clean up is.

I bought the one with all of the features and am glad I did. We use the rotisserie a lot and it works great. Just be aware that you are limited to 4# on it or it gets too heavy.

This is my second one and I use it in an apartment. I do not believe it has a rotisserie. To tell you the truth it came just as I was leaving out of state. It is still sitting in the box. I can give you a better answer when I get back after Thanksgiving. But as far as I remember (the first one) it doesn't have a rotisserie. But that said. Great product anyway!

You simply plug them in. Appliances without a ground lug are generally double-insulated, meaning that the motor has sufficient insulation that if it should short it couldn't electrify the housing that the operator could touch. Also the two-pronged plugs are not polarized meaning that the neutral `blade' isn't larger than the other, or `hot' blade. Plug these in anyway that's easy, polarization isn't a factor on these appliances or devices.

Yes, but only if you build your own speed reduction so the final maximum speed is around 5RPM to rotate up to 100 lbs of balanced weight. Running at a lower speed with this motor to direct drive a rotisserie system is not recommended as this motor runs at its optimal performance at 50RPM. That means if you turn the speed down with just the speed controller, the torque of this motor is not going to be strong enough to run well, especially below 10RPM.

It has to stay plugged in via A/C power. It is not battery operated. It is loud. As loud as you would expect a 500 Watt motor. You'll get over it once you start to use it. It is a fantastic device. Never runs out of air. Never stops blowing at full power. Get's a little warm in your hands if you don't use the black handle and air escapes out every seam, but that is normal. Clearly an overbuilt device. It's awesome!!! Best to use it outdoors to clean things as it blasts dust and dirt all over the place!

Insert it from left to right, carefully fitting it in the groove from the side. It will get easier with subsequent removals. It's an EXCELLENT rotisserie!

No electricity is required. Either a gas line (as I have) or propane will work. It is a GREAT grill!

No, it does NOT have a rotisserie in it. But don't worry; it has great convection, and gets things nice and crispy. You can easily cook a whole chicken in it. Put some rub on it, and then bake it with the convection on - turns out great.
