I'm the basic griller over a fire pit or on the gas grill. I LOVE rotisserie chicken. Any suggestions for a wood/charcoal rotisserie grill that isn't the bottom of the barrel or restaurant quality? I am having a hard time finding one online.

Try Northern Tools they have a inexpensive outdoor fire pit with a cooking grate.

what Balac said. unless your budget goes into thousands you'll get the same results with a modified grill.

I used to do rotisserie chicken on our BBQ until a friend of ours gave us their SHowtime "set it and forget it" unit.
At first I balked and scoffed and after a few more snarky comments and a whole chicken later, I am a believer. That thing is awesome.
We still use the BBQ rotisserie for Prime rim and Pork and stuff, but if it's chicken... it's Showtime!!!
usually rotisserie heat comes from an infrared burner on the back of the BBQ, not under, as you want a pan to catch the juices and not
clog up your grill inerts. I'm not sure how you would do it unless just using charcoal, and that might burn and smoke the chicken....
set it and forget it baby.
here's the one we were given...

Leave it to Scovie to post an oven in a BBQ topic 
OXY MORON!
You drunk edited out the "BBQ Oven" pic! THAT'S an oxy moron!
Thank you for the advice. I really would like something outdoors. I have an awesome pit area to use and want to upgrade it.
Now I am hungry. 
As Scov mentioned the infrared back burner works best with the roto. It directly sears one side of the food while the lower burner method simulates a chamber/oven and will bake the food. Most Gas grills and convential ovens have the roto motor mounted outside the cooking area ...(nobody wants burnt up motor windings...ha) If you're thinking about the open pit then the motor needs to be shielded or located away from the fire. I'd opt for a good grill, remove the grates and throw the foil drip roasting pan on the bottom. Its clean and easy, the food would be at the right height for basting ( no bending or reaching which can be a pain in the back...literally )..........only my opinions, good luck with the process.
I premature postulated.
you do that a lot?
lol
As fo the topic at hand, I love my rotisserie. In addition to my large barrel-smoker/BBQ, I also have a standard Webber BBQ. As a housewarming present my pops got me a rotisserie collar for the Webber. It's 3" collar that fits on the rim, extending the height. He also got me the drip pan & coal corrales.
Man does this set-up kick ass. The rotisserie is strong enough to turn a sizable turkey or roast, and the coal corrales keep the coals off to the sides so you get true indirect heat with the drip pan preventing fires.

It's a pretty inexpensive option.
That thing really works? I've seen those commercials - that dude seems like such a tool! I hate his teeth, too. He's got like 1100 teeth or something. Dude is sooooooo so so so fake.
I always wondered if the shiz really worked though. Do you have the fish baskets too? Those actually looked really awesome on the commercial when he did up the salmon with the dill & lemon slices.
Good to know!
