📢 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.

Needed it urgently and was delivered in no time at all. Very spacious BBQ that catered for a large family gathering. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
First time to use one on my cook up as I have always just gone of just guessing but this has taken that out an I am able to serve up the meat from the grill while it is still jucey an not dry or over cooked everytime . I love using this , highly recommend you try it real easy to use
Sydney BBQs provided excellent service and the Misty Gully Kosher Salt arrived very quickly. This is great kosher salt - much less expensive than the commonly seen international brands and it’s great using an Aussie-made product.
Love using these! Easy to use and you get a lovely smokyness to the pizza's I cook in my pizza oven
