I have one that I bought about 20 years ago and used it quite a bit at
first.
I still use it once in a while, when I don't want to use the grill. It
works fairly well
and some of the recipes are pretty good.
Most everything on the squires (SP?) needs to be brushed with
something,
butter, sauce, marinade, etc. before starting, except the things
wrapped in dough.
I am always careful of the glass cover when cleaning, but have not had
any problems
with it, You need to watch the grease cup to make sure it doesn't
overflow, I don't know
it would be better than the horizontal rotisseries or not, kids like
to watch it go around
and they like the hotdogs and the pigs in a blanket made on them, A
grill is a lot better
but this can be ok at times.
