📢 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.

This Chimichurri did not disappoint, so easy to make on the run and the flavor is unbelievable, smashed it all over my steaks and wanted more.
Tastes so good it should be illegal.
Really great value for what they are , I’m very happy with my purchase
This BBQ is amazing. The pavers help with the heat distribution, that the meat cooks perfectly. After using this BBQ for the first time, I can honestly say it was the best BBQ I have ever cooked for family. I can't wait to showcase it to extended family and friends next!

Cold Smoke Generators up and running finally after initial hiccups in relation to getting it to burn mainly due to lack of instructions now figured that the air pump has to be pretty well full on to make it draw and burn. The construction is of good quality but my only complaint is the lack of instructions but all good now and yes recommended.
I ordered Adana Skewers and Gyro plates.
Fast delivery and great products.
Will be ordering more products in the future
Thanks again
Really happy with the lumberjack pellets, great flavour and good burn with minimal ash. Sydney BBQs & Rotisseries have been amazing to deal with, super quick turn around with all my orders.
This is my second batch very fast and professional service I only ordered it yesterday and got it today ☺️
Our rack arrived just in time for our leg of lamb. Had issues putting the rod through due to bone and una el to get a boneless leg. Wait a minute let’s see if it fits in the rack….. yesss and cooked it just right. What a great tool for our spit. Super fast delivery as we are regional Qld.
