I wouldn't recommend drilling into your barbecue @Walter because ideally you want a sealed environment where you don't lose any heat and maintain a nice steady temperature when you are cooking with the lid down.

Do you want a viewing window? I like the idea of being able to see what's cooking but the reality is that I don't want to have to clean the glass. I think buying probes so you can monitor the temperature of the meat is a much better idea.

It might also help if you let us know what you mainly tend to cook. For example, if you mainly want to do rotisserie cooking, this would be tempting - -by-heston-blumenthal-fusion-electric-ignition-charcoal-barbeque...

The rotisserie isn't going to be something I will use all the time, but will include the usual, chicken, beef, lamb and pork, though I have a mate who occasionally supplies me with venison and kangaroo, and I have a great recipe for venison shoulder rotisseried I'm keen to try out.

I've done an amazing "3 fish assemby" for a party that was 100% barbecued (think of properly sliced pineapple- leave the centre in- coated in brown sugar, then barbecued, and you assemble salmon steaks, any whitefish and prawns,-all barbecued- onto the pineapple slice and drizzled in a lime mayonnaise), and we have a traditional Christmas day brunch, where I barbecue ham, poached eggs (yes, on the barbecue), muffins (yes, on the barbecue), and prepare my own Hollandaise sauce (yes, on the barbecue), hence the side burner is a must.

I had a Beefeater for over 15 years so can happily recommend. I would have been happy to buy another one. If you can, buy a quality unit that will last, and a good cover to protect it. Sounds like you'll get lots of use out of it.

@Walter Yes you could modify a unit to accept a rotisserie, though I wouldn't advise it. It would be easy to drill the holes to adapt a mounting plate either end, but my concern is that hoods designed for rotisseries have an extra opening to allow the hood to close down snuggly around the spike going through it. I'll try and find a picture.

Hmm, after being about to recommend the Stardom and what I've just said, I have realised the site actually says this is not "rotisserie ready". From what I can see from the pictures, it is "ready" to accept a rotisserie kit, I'm not sure why they are saying it's not. Stardom 4 burner hooded stainless
