Abstract: A rotisserie broiler for skewered food items is provided. In one embodiment, the rotisserie broiler includes a horizontal conveyor defining a horizontal path of travel between a skewer receiving area and a transfer channel, the horizontal conveyor having a parallel pair of feeder chains to endlessly convey at a same rate to the transfer channel and a vertical conveyor disposed perpendicular to the horizontal conveyor at the transfer channel and defining a vertical path of travel between the transfer channel and a dispenser, the vertical conveyor having a parallel pair of rotisserie chains to endlessly convey at the same rate from the transfer channel to the dispenser. The food items are placed into the rotisserie broiler on a conveyor in a generally horizontal plane and automatically picked up by a conveyor in a vertical plane to be broiled and rotated adjacent to heating elements and then dispersed.
