A battery or electric operated rotisserie will give excellent results with joints of beef

the joint or bird, otherwise the strain on the motor will eventually cause it to stop,
or it will turn unevenly and the food will therefore cook unevenly.

Wondering how to light your Cobb^® Cooker?

We have found the best way to light briquettes in preparation for cooking in a Cobb^® Cooker is to use an old steel can (the size of a tin of dog food). Remove the top of the can and cut holes around the base to allow air to flow through, creating a mini chimney starter.

Be conscious of managing the heat in your BBQ when cooking foods with a high fat content like sausages or lamb on a spit. Fats dripping from such foods fall directly onto the briquettes and can cause excessive smoking, flair ups and can result in grease build-up inside your barbecue.
