📢 Frequently Asked Questions
❓ What size spit roaster do I need for a whole lamb?
A 150cm spit roaster is ideal for whole lambs, goats, or multiple large roasts. A 130cm spit works well for smaller lambs, whole pork roasts, or multiple chickens.
❓ How much charcoal do I need for a spit roaster?
For a whole lamb (15-20kg), start with 8-10kg of lump charcoal spread evenly under the spit. Adjust as needed to maintain a steady heat.
❓ How long does it take to cook a whole lamb on a spit?
A whole lamb or pig (15-20kg) takes 4-6 hours, depending on heat levels and rotation speed. Ensure an internal temperature of 75°C in the thickest part before serving.
❓ What’s the difference between a spit roaster with a hood vs. no hood?
Hooded spit roasters trap heat, cook more evenly, and reduce cooking time. Open spits provide a flame-kissed BBQ flavour but require more heat management.
❓ What’s the best way to season meat for spit roasting?
For traditional lamb or pork, use a simple seasoning of salt, pepper, garlic, and oregano. For beef, a mix of rosemary, thyme, and olive oil works well.
💡 Tip: Let the meat marinate for at least 12 hours for maximum flavour.
❓ Can I cook anything other than lamb on a spit?
Yes! Our spit roasters are perfect for:
- ✔ Whole chickens
- ✔ Beef roasts & rolled ribeye
- ✔ Whole goats & large skewers (souvla-style BBQ)
- ✔ Vegetables & whole fish using skewers
❓ How do I control the heat when using a spit roaster?
- Move the coals around to adjust heat intensity.
- Raise or lower the skewer to control how close the meat is to the heat.
- Use a hooded model for better heat retention and even cooking.
❓ How often do I need to turn the spit manually?
✅ You don’t! Our powerful motors (rated for 40kg) keep the meat rotating automatically for even cooking.
❓ What’s the best way to clean a spit roaster?
- Remove the skewers and scrape off any food residue.
- Wipe down the stainless steel with warm water and mild detergent.
- Let it dry completely to prevent rust.
Let customers speak for us
I began using White Lightening Rub a few years ago - after the first bottle I bought four more bottles, one for my sister one for my son-in-law one for my son and another one obviously for myself and that tradition has continued. It is the most tasty All encompassing seasoning you can have in your cupboard - you can literally throw away all the rest. It’s fantastic. I use it on and in everything - meat fish poultry as a rub or into spaghetti bol or any other sauce!!
I used the Rotisserie Tumbler Basket for the first time and it was a good test. I bought 2 whole fishes. They just fitted into the basket. I was worried that my motor would not cope with the weight. The motor and the basket worked well together and the fish cooked excellantly. The basket was a great buy !
You can’t beat a charcoal BBQ! I bought two and the way the food turns out on them is amazing . They clean easy (as long as u clean every time ) and store great. Highly recommend if you want a BBQ u don’t need to replace !
A great gift for the BBQ man in my life. He approves!
Fast delivery with no issues at all, everything worked as expected!

They last long, and I didn’t need to use a large amount. It burned perfectly and lasted really well. I’ll definitely keep using this the best charcoal I’ve tried!
