📢 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.

Ordered some products arrived promptly next day. Products as advertised were lovely and I would keenly recommend them for any BBQ needs.
I am taking them to Thursday Island where my daughter is Teaching. Her students are very excited as they will use them in relation to the cooking for the Culture Festival commencing next week! Thankyou.
Ive been holding entertaining BBQ for many, and this unit has to be the best BBQ i have ever used. The double insulated walls and base pavers retain all the heat you need to keep going for hours. Must Have for any Entertainer !!!!!
Easy to order, quick delivery, just what my husband wanted .

Easy product to use and very pleased with the results so far. Made some delicious venison ham!!
I recently purchased a brisket board for my husband for fathers day. The morning after making the purchase I had a change of heart regarding the size of the board. Eric was only too happy to accommodate this change and process my order with the new size.
Shipping and delivery was fast and smooth and the product is exactly what my husband was after. Can not recommend Sydney BBQs more highly!
Highly recommend for all your bbq needs
terrific for Adana kebab's
The flavours are great and they are all natural
So good
I having tried yet however, looks great
I bought the large brisket cutting board called the Australian brisket board. I have been extremely happy with it. It is solid, it looks fantastic, and it is very functional. It has heavy duty rubber feet on the bottom so it will not move or damage anything it is placed on. The board is extremely solid yet has cut aways underneath at the ends to make it easy to pick up and move. The colour of the timber is beautiful I would thoroughly recommend this cutting board to anyone who wants a seriously nice looking very heavy duty cutting board.
Needed a last minute gift, shipping was very quick and the customer service was great. Very happy with the quality of the items, would definitely return for any future needs
These paddles are so easy to use and have made my life a whole lot easier when it’s pizza night!
