Grilling, BBQ..ing, and smoking are all different cooking methods. When
you use the electric element on a gas grill for rotisserie cooking, you
are actually using your grill as an oven.

I use my gas grill as an oven quite often. It is connected to the natural
gas source so no schlepping of LP. Chicken/whatever on one side, fire on
the other. Works great. Chicken on a beer can seems to finish up as moist
on the inside and crispy on the outside as any rotisserie chicken that I
have tried and it requires less clean up. I do have to drink part of the
beer though, and another and another. We have an electric rotisserie on a
wood/charcoal fired BBQ pit that works pretty well, but I don't use it too
often.
