A. Provided that your grill doesn’t have a rotisserie burner what you want is to surround your food with heat without having a high direct heat directly under it. It is important when rotisserie cooking that you avoid flare-ups to prevent your food from burning. If your grill has the burner configuration you will want to have heat on either side of the food but not under it. If you don’t have a multiple burner gas grill then you want the burners on a low setting with a drip pan directly under the food. Make sure that no grease can escape and reach the burners. If you do have a multiple burner grill that allows you to cook entirely by indirect heat then you should still have a drip pan under the food. This will at least reduce the mess inside your grill.
