Brazilian Flame Silver Brazilian Gas Rotisserie Grill

Pretty easy to use, not overly heavy, and easy to clean! It’s so convenient for a party. Set it and let it cook on its own!

Our family loves churrascarias and thought this sounded like a great tool to feed Picanha to a crowd. We did love the finished steak, but struggled with loading and with temperature management. Unfortunately, despite buying the more expensive 5-skewer grill, it doesn't actually fit that many when loaded with meat (particularly large curved cuts of picanha). Although there are 5 slots and 5 espetos, even relatively narrowly trimmed skewers won't fit in the first slot due to the recessed pan that fits in the top. You also basically can't have skewers in two consecutive slots or they will collide -- this means you can really only fit 2 beef skewers at a time. We have used the grill 3 times now, each trying to cut a more narrow skewer to solve this problem and realizing that only VERY narrow skewers could be next to each other. Perhaps if you want to grill small cuts like sausage or chicken hearts, this is still useful, but not multiple racks of beef. If using a (purchased separately) vegetable basket you can only really fit 2 at a time across the five slots. In summary, this grill seems to have been optimized for the 3 skewer style and then had extra holes drilled to offer a larger capacity option - so save your money and purchase accordingly! You may even have more consistent temperature management with the 3-skewer option as extra slots in this 5-skewer model allow more heat loss.

I opened the box, charged it, and nothing. The temp gauge turns on, but it doesn’t turn. I guess I could turn everything manually every few minutes, but that pretty much defeats the purpose. Tried calling customer service for a week, submitted messages on their site, and sent emails. No response. I’m sending it back to Amazon and will do churrasco the old-fashioned way…over an open fire while manually turning the meat. Update: I finally heard back from them and they offered an exchange and said they would send a tracking number and instructions for returning the bad one. It’s now a week later and I haven’t heard anything from them. Won’t respond to emails. I’d send it back to Amazon, but it will take up to 30 days for the refund on this item…once they receive it. It’s also not on sale anymore, so I’d have to pay another $150 to replace it because they won’t exchange it. I can only return it and purchase a new one later. 😕 New update: Paid the difference for a new one and it only has one working burner. Customer service seems to have ghosted me at this point, after offering a free grill basket for my inconvenience. It will likely be useless since I’m going to return it again and give up. Was only able to send it back to Amazon because Brazilian Flame had none in stock. Amazon gave me a ton of hoops to jump through to return it, but at least they refunded the difference since I bought it on Prime Day. I’d probably love it if it worked right.

Overall, it’s a really good rotisserie except when you spend $600 on one you expect it to come with everything except this doesn’t come with a cover like advertised and it doesn’t come with a instruction booklet of any kind or even a complementary cookbook. It’s just a rotisserie in the box with nothing else advertises something completely different but all in all it works excellent and it’s a good product.

I had a problem at first with the burner going out. Called for help. Got resolved quickly. Food that I have cooked so far is great!
