Outdoor Cooking Guide by BBQ Spit Rotisseries | Aussie BBQ Experts

Outdoor cooking in Australia isn’t just a summer thing — it’s a year-round lifestyle. From beachside BBQs and backyard lamb roasts to smoky brisket and crispy pizzas, Aussies have their own way of doing things. And no one knows that better than BBQ Spit Rotisseries.

In this complete guide, we’ll walk you through the key gear, give you honest tips, and help you figure out what suits your style — whether you’re just getting started or levelling up your current setup (without sounding like a cooking show).

 

Start With the Classic – Charcoal Spit Rotisseries

If you want proper flavour and a bit of theatre, nothing beats a spit rotisserie. It’s where we started, and where thousands of Aussie BBQ legends began their outdoor cooking journey.

What you can cook:

  • Whole lambs or pigs
  • Roast chooks (stacked or single)
  • Pork with that cracking crackling
  • Greek-style souvla

 

It’s slow, it’s smoky, and it’s a crowd-pleaser every time.

 

Top Tip: Look for adjustable height and a strong motor — not all spits are created equal.

 

Step Up to Low and Slow with a Smoker

If you’ve got the patience (and a bit of time), BBQ smokers are the secret weapon for mouth-watering brisket, ribs and pulled pork.

Types we stock:

Offset smokers – Great for flavour control
Gravity feed smokers – Set and forget vibes
Pellet Smokers – Set and forget

 

Smokers are all about temp control, patience, and a good rub. Don’t stress — we’ve got guides for all that too.

 

Everyday Heroes – Backyard BBQs That Just Work

Let’s not forget the classic backyard BBQ. Whether you’re flipping steaks for a midweek dinner or loading it up for a weekend party, a good BBQ is the heartbeat of any outdoor kitchen.

  • Gas, charcoal or combo setups
  • Built to handle Aussie heat, rain and everything in between
  • Compact or mega-sized — we’ve got your space covered

 

Pizza Ovens: For Those Who Want to Dominate Friday Nights

You haven’t lived until you’ve pulled a bubbling pizza out of a wood-fired pizza oven in your own backyard. Fast, hot, and way better than delivery.
