Rescuing the World's Best Balcony Rotisserie Grill from the Scrap Pile

#MecoAmericanaRotisserie #AmericanaElectricGrill #AmericanaRotisserie
There is no feeling quite like picking up a used item for cheap and getting a great deal of use and pleasure from it. In this case I found a not quite complete electric grill on Facebook Marketplace for a measly $20 that was destined for the scrap pile if not picked up before the seller's moving day.
The unit I purchased was an American made:
Meco-Americana Electric Cart Grill with Rotisserie - Model: 9329U8.181
Arguably the world's best balcony BBQ.
I have no affiliation with Meco Corp or any of the Americana BBQ distributors. I just like their products.

I found a basic unit at a thrift store in San Diego. Added a thermometer. Worked great. Had to give it away when I moved to Alameda.

I just scored one of these for $30 on auction. looking forward to testing it out. thanks for posting this.

That's a good price. I expect that you will find it is exceptional for rotisserie use but only adequate for BBQ use. I've really come to rely on mine for consistent rotisserie chickens and roasts. It has turned out to be the perfect compliment to my main BBQ and quite often i will have them both in service at the same time when we have company.

I have this grill for one year now all you have to do is plug it in for more flavor I put 5 pieces of charcoal or Hickory wood and it makes the food wonderful just like my other charcoal grill without buying a lot of charcoal and this group is accurate I just wish it had a temperature gauge😢

[@GoldlynxRecipesandReviews]

I added a temp gauge by drilling a hole in the top center of the lid. It doesn't seem to be entirely accurate but is still quite helpful.
I use my unit mostly for rotisserie of pork roasts and chickens but sometimes it acts as an overflow grill for my propane BBQ.
For that purpose I will quite often use it for mixed veggies or corn with a grill mat.

Did you mention the temperature setting you used?

[@GoldlynxRecipesandReviews]

The heat setting dial is noy finely graduated but I generally do most things at about 90% of maximum heat.
