📢 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.

I may try others, but I keep coming back to Blues Hog Original. It is my absolute favourite.
I love this coating,I mix it with gluten free bread crumbs and Gluten Free Panko Bread Crumbs and they make the best snitzels on chicken or steaks ...brought it as some of the family are GF and I will not go back to the normal cause we can all eat it better for you
In my opinion, the best charcoal from the nicest people in the bbq & rotisserie business, I love Eric & Suzie, I drive from Newcastle just to visit them at their shop at Ingleburn.
The atomic chicken salt is the best I have tried
Ordered bbq grill online from Queensland and arrived within 3 days
Couldn’t be happier with the product i purchased. It cooks great and is very well made. Excellent customer service by Eric and Suzie
The ATOMIC CHARCOAL CHICKEN is a great product. I normally do my own marinade for my food but when your busy an the family decides they want to have a bbq an the rest decides they are coming as well this is when it comes in handy to save time an still give the food a great taste . I highly recommend it 👌 👍
I’m glad ai found and Australian location that supplies this product. I use it regular and will use Sydney BBQs and Rotisseries for all these products moving forward.
Product as advertised. Well priced and fast delivery.
Eric & Suzie are the nicest people to deal with online and in person at their shop at Ingleburn. This is my new charcoal and bbq shop. Great people, great products. Mick from Newcastle
Cooking pizza in a Weber BBQ around the pool is great with 6 grandkids and families but it’s slow. Now with 3 tier rack it’s fantastic, purchased online and Sydney BBQs posted same day and arrived in 3 days. I’m very happy…
Excellent quality, fast delivery.
I messaged them on their socials which they replied immediately. Then I visited the store to see it on display. Suzie took the time to show me the bbqs on display and gave me a good deal at the end. Highly recommend
