📢 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.
Let customers speak for us
This was my first purchase of a BBQ grill and my first time ordering from the Sydney BBQs and Rotisseries website. I ordered it on Saturday night and received it by Tuesday. The installation was quick and straightforward. It’s a grill and does exactly what it’s supposed to!
Purchased many items as part of a father’s day gift. They arrived promptly and they were even better than what I expected. Excellent quality, value for money and a pleasure to deal with this company. Our new BBQ go to shop.
I always use this charcoal and it never fails me
I purchased the Medium Charcoal BBQ and couldn’t be happier! The size is just right and still easy to manage. I upgraded from a narrow skewer grill, and this has been a game changer. The size was perfect for our family gatherings of around 20 people. We spent less time cooking, especially when using long flat skewers. The wheels make it super easy to move around, and clean-up is an absolute breeze with the pull out tray. The build itself feels quite solid and high quality and I appreciate that it came with a lid. Definately recommend this BBQ to anyone looking for the perfect grill that can cater to both family meals and entertaining without taking so much space or time for that matter. Big thank you to Sydney BBQ and Rotisseries!
