Only intended for lite weight duty. The basket should be much wider, probably square. Its great for vegtables but too narrow for ribs and can only hold 2 med? chicken halves. The spit lock thumb screws are too small in diameter making the attachment weak and fiddling necessary to fasten securely to the spit rod.

Works fine except the thumb screws are too short or the metalIs too thin and flexes too much to tighten onto the rotisserie shaft. Also, the square hole is too large making the tightening an alignment challenge.

As others have noted the material appears to be stainless steel and you would not want anything else. The top grate holds in nicely and is adjustable. However there are a few Cons:* The length of the basket will not hold a full length of spare ribs.* trying to be used across a too large a range of spit size makes the rod insecure in the attachment.* the bent metal piece that the screw goes through to attach to the spit is flimsy and bends when you get it tight enough to be secure.* Also, the spit goes through the basket taking space, the basket should be designed such that the spit is on the outside of the basket.

Great product! Love that it's stainless steel. Cleanup is a snap. We use it with our Fire Magic Rotisserie for wings and they come out crispy and great!

So I uploaded a couple photos of the basket and my spit... and yes, a tightly fit chicken for the first grill session. The chicken came out juicy and crisp from inside to out and was perfectly cooked... but that's not what we're here to review. The basket is sturdy, well built but could use a few adjustments.Like others have said, and like many baskets for rotisserie, the screw mounts tend to be a little flimsy. I'm looking for some spacers or maybe to even weld a smaller mount plate to it and get a snug fit. All-in-all, it holds everything really firm. As you can see, that chicken didn't fall out and the basket didn't bend to badly. Next weekend we're trying to do wings on it and see how well the basket works with little things.Pros:solid gauge steelnot coatedfits any spit to up 3/4" (IF your spit is 3/4" what on earth are you roasting?)easy handlingpinching/clamp side is easy to useCons:screw mount could be a little beefierno 'adapter plate' for smaller spits (not that I expected to see one, but it'd be nice as an optional component)==============================Updated 2014-07-17:So since first reviewing this basket our old grill has been retired (it rusted out like many cheap 'stainless steel' grills out there. Well, we bought a mew grill... a Fire Magic Echelon 790i... oooh fancy sweet grill (sorry had to gloat)... Anyway, the rotisserie rod on that 790i IS 5/8" thick and can hold up to 50lbs... it's massive and lethal all in one. Great for turkey and suckling pig... if you like those kind of eats. Add I see that at this time Amazon has taken down customer photos for some reason... not much I can do about that.

There is fatal flaw in the design of this basket. The two holes for the rotisserie rod were too large. The brackets with the locking screws for the rotisserie rod were too weak. As a result, the basket just flopped around or did not turn when the rotisserie rod would rotate. I have a Weber Grill. It took me two hours shaping two short flat aluminum bars one for each end to reduce the hole sizes for the rotisserie rod. The basket seems to working now as intended.I would not recommend this basket until Fire Magic corrects the problem; it is pretty useless in its present configuration. I think Fire Magic offered this basket for sale before they did any testing; this would have showed up almost immediately.
