Shashlik Attachment T2. Turn your grill into a rotisserie.
The Shashlik Attachment T2 is a stainless steel frame for the Thüros T2, which holds grill skewers above the embers and guides them at a uniform distance. No rotisserie, no motor operation, no replacement for the grill grate.
The Shashlik Attachment T2 measures 7.5 x 60 x 37.5 cm and fits exclusively the small T2. Skewers on a normal grill grate have a known problem: they lie flat, rotate with the meat when turned, and the onion sticks to the grate. The attachment solves this by supporting the skewers at their ends. The food hangs freely over the embers and touches nothing.
Why free-floating cooks better
If a skewer rests on the grate, it has two contact points and cooks faster there. The result is uneven, charred on the outside, raw on the inside.
Nothing rests on the attachment. The heat reaches the meat from all sides, and when turned, the skewer stays in its notch instead of rotating with it. Anyone making Shashlik in the Eastern European style, with alternating thick pieces of meat and fat, will immediately notice the difference.
Not just for meat
The attachment is suitable for anything that can be skewered. Marinated chicken pieces with bell pepper, lamb cubes with onion, halloumi with zucchini, shrimp with lemon.
From experience: Place a piece of onion or bell pepper between the meat pieces. The vegetables maintain distance and release moisture, preventing the meat from drying out. The attachment is less suitable for fish because firm meat holds better when turned than tender meat.
Stainless steel V2A, dishwasher safe
The frame and skewers are made of non-magnetic V2A stainless steel, the material of the entire Thüros range. After grilling, the skewers go into the dishwasher.
This is relevant for marinades with honey or tomato paste, as they bake on and are difficult to remove by hand. The frame will develop tempering colors above the embers — this is normal for stainless steel and does not affect its function.
Why the attachment for the T2 is worthwhile
It is worthwhile for anyone who regularly makes skewers and needs more than two or three at a time. For occasional skewers, the normal grate is sufficient.
One limitation: As long as the attachment is mounted, the grate surface is not available. So, skewers and steaks simultaneously are not possible. If you want both in one evening, plan them consecutively or use the warming rack in addition.
Skewers do not belong on the grate, but above it.
