1. Get ready

Start by lighting your Big Green Egg and heating it to the correct cooking temperature. Ensure all cooking surfaces are clear — this gives the rotisserie plenty of room to work its magic.

Tip: For most roasts, aim for 180–200°C for perfect results.

2. Fit the Rotisserie mounts

Attach the rotisserie mounts on opposite sides of your Egg. Ensure the black silicone pads sit snugly against the ceramic surface. Place the larger mount on the side that suits your setup and power source.

Tip: Double-check that the mounts are level to ensure smooth rotation.

4. Prepare the spit

  • Slide the first fork onto the spit and position it in the centre of your food.
  • Thread meat, poultry, fish, or vegetables onto the spit.
  • Add the second fork to secure everything in place.
  • Ensure the load is balanced for smooth rotation.

Tip: Tie loose items with butcher’s twine to prevent wobbling.

5. Insert the spit and start cooking

  • Place the pointed end of the spit into the motor and rest the handle end in the opposite mount.
  • Turn on the motor and check for smooth rotation. Adjust if needed before cooking.

Cooking Options:

  • Dome closed: Ideal for slow roasting and juicy, even results.
  • Dome open: Perfect for quick grilling and flame-kissed finishes.

Top Tips for Perfect Rotisserie Cooking

  • Always keep ingredients centred on the spit.
  • Don’t exceed 315°C to protect the silicone pads and motor.
  • For larger roasts, consider a two-person lift when loading the spit.

Cleaning & Storage

Once your cook is finished and the components have cooled:

  • Wipe the motor with a damp cloth (do not submerge).
  • Wash the spit and forks in warm soapy water, scrubbing off any stuck-on bits.
  • Dry thoroughly and store all components in the carry case to keep them safe and ready for your next BBQ.
