📢 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.

Signature Mallee Root Lump Charcoal – 15kg XL Grade (70mm+)
as a wife with a husband that’s next cooked in the past 13years, he is hooked and experimenting with meals already. We ordered the portable but will be purchasing the large soon to have both cooking..
I got some rub on my daughters recommendation, she was paying me out on my existing rub saying, dad it’s just salt and pepper, well as any good dad does he asks her, well tell me what’s the good gear and she showed me a photo of Boars night out white lightening double garlic. Well she right, dad wrong, lifes good.
Such a great useful rotisserie grill can use for so many things. reallly happy with it and excited to use it again and again. I love the fact that I can do the 3 large rods at the same time & then also can use the smaller rods for different types of meats. Love it
The Atomic Chicken Charcoal Chicken is Delicious!!
This bbq isn't just something to cook on. It also doubles up as an ornament or something cool to have in the backdrop of an outdoor entertaining area. It has a simple design and I was able to put it together quite easily, I probably had a quick glance at the instructions a few times when assembling the bits that required bolts. The large 3 prongs are height adjustable so you can cook meat slow and high or lower to get the char you desire. Also comes with a grill so you don't have to use the rotisserie if all you want to do is put a few chops on or some snags. The wheels it comes with are really handy for manoeuvrability and storage. Motor is more than adequate and can be used to power the small skewers as well. Simply swap the position of the motor to choose which skewers you want to be auto rotated. A separate motor can be purchased if you want to power both sets of skewers simultaneously. The other plus is that the motor has usb plug so effectively can be used as a portable device with a power bank if you are keen to take out on a picnic etc. I really rate this Cyprus bbq, it is compact, easy to assemble and despite the simple design is actually capable of some serious bbqing. Finally, thanks to Erik for the great customer service.
The guys at Sydney BBQ & Rotisserie are so friendly and helpful! They have great products at their shop .. definitely be going back soon!
Amazing Product and won't buy from anyone else
I have used a trager pellet smoker for 6 years and finally graduated to an old school coal smoker for better taste. unit looks fantastic (real show stopper in orange) and held heat for a 5 hour rib cook with minimal tweaks. Ribs were amazing!
