Anyone own one? Thoughts? I got one for Christmas and am currently trying it out for the first time. Pretty excited 
Thus far...
FWIW, just threw on some lemmon pepper seasoning for a quick bird.

I have the older version and love it! Have been eyeing that new one.
Let us know how it turns out.

Nice. Id like one of those I think

My parents have the old "set it and forget it" one, it actually cooks really well and evenly.

Try Alton Brown's gyro recipe with it and make a homemade tzaziki sauce.

Turned out absolutely delicious

I have one. I've only used it for turkey, usually only once or twice a year. You have to get the turkey when they first start selling them, because the 10-12 pounders sell out early and that's the biggest mine will fit.
That being said, it's my favorite way to cook a turkey. The dual spit rods make balancing the bird much easier. And the result is so tasty and juicy. The only drawback is making gravy because you don't really get good drippings from it. In the past, I've used the skin to make a gravy, but that's not ideal, either.

I agree with all of this. I've found it difficult to find the little turkeys too, and I do miss the drippings for gravy. I usually boil the neck/gizzards and use that stock for a gravy.
I have the old one too. My main complaint with it is finding someplace to store it 'cause it's so big. Discourages me from using it often because I hate hauling it out of its hiding spot.

You should really look into the EZ model I got. The lid slides right off and lays into the Rotisserie part for storage.

I've had good results from chicken, too. I recently bought some large roasters/stewing hens that I have frozen, so maybe I'll try those after the new year.

I may get one just to do chicken shawarma and gyro

I hear good stuff about them, but I don't have room for it in my house unless I use it often. House is too small.
I use my Weber kettle rotisserie for similar cooks.

Didn't know they had a new version of it.
Anytime those infommercials for the old one came on, I had to watch it.
I'd like to try a rack of ribs cooked in it.

I can't not watch those infomercials when I come across them.

A coworker has one. It works very well but was a total pain to cleanup. Hopefully they improved that in the newer models.

Mine was easy to clean last night. There's a removable piece that slides down behind the heating element all the way down to the drip pan(which is also removable). Just had to clean those two pieces, the rods the chicken was attached to and wiped down the hood.
I did decide midway through that I'll wrap the removable back piece in foil next go around to make it even easier.

If you want to read a good book I suggest Malcolm Gladwell's What the Dog Saw. He has a wonderful essay on Ron Popeil and his family and history. He is an amazing guy.
He did all of his research on his rotisserie in his own kitchen and buys all his chickens from Costco because they are cheap.

I have the original and love it. Storage and cleanup is a pain though.
