sorted byDo you still keep in touch with the lads who were roasting you?
This is worthy of its own post IMO.
Great price, very tempted
That would definitely fit! I roasted a massive pork joint last week it was about the size of a fat pug(or was it really a fat pug) I left it on second lowest bar for 2 hours then moved it up for another 2-3 hours, I used a meat thermometer (recommended for safe eating) so can't remember exactly how long all together but around 4-5 hours should do a Terrier, the stainless steel bar and spikes are really good quality thick and strong
It has great reviews for the price on BBQ forums. 15kg max weight is a lot of meat!
That must have been painful for you.
I done 2 chickens and just spiked each end, they did slip a little now and again but not a big problem, next time I will probably try skewering them together in the middle with a metal sewer then spike at either end as normal
Spit Roaster? I hardly knew 'er.
If you frequent the CountryWoodSmoke or British BBQ Society FB groups you will see there is a right of passage for the Kellybab...... I've done it 3 times now, once on gas BBQ where I turned it every 20 mins, the 2nd was on gas with rotisserie, the final time was over charcoal with a battery rotisserie on the middle of a field with the boys...... All 3 fabulous!!!!
I found it whilst looking for a dedicated rotisserie for my Weber kettle (£152 ATM!!!). This could replace that purchase but will be a 4th household BBQ of sorts!
I like it! (edited)
Try Asda. They've got the Char Broil Tru Infrared 3 Burner on clearance for (IIRC) £130. Not a bad BBQ for that money.
Yeah, I've had a similar generic blue sack before and found all sorts of reclaimed wood, one had a metal hinge on it! I wouldn't recommend lump for long slow, smoke sessions as it's too erratic and can add too much smoke. With briquettes, it's predictable and gives you the ability to use a smoke flavour with chunks (chips are a waste of time on long sessions).
Try The Range and your local garden centres. The other alternative is to buy bulk (over 50 quid) to get free delivery from most of the big BBQ resellers.
Pound for pound, briquettes will leave more ash than lump anyway.
I'm going to give a 15kg bag a go as I'm running low on lump. Cheers

I think HB web had some erroneous price updates yesterday, I saw loads in-store in Biggleswade yesterday - the price is £40 again on the website today.
I was looking at chairs & tried to collect some Fri but couldn't get there due to an accident. Web price £20. On Saturday, web price for the chair was £74.25. In-store, ticketed at £30. This morning, web price is £20 again.
No wonder they're struggling as a company.
I just followed the Kellybab recipe.......
Ingredients
1.8 kg boneless, skinless chicken thighs
3 tbsp tomato puree
4 garlic cloves, minced
Zest and juice of 2 lemons
2 tsp onion granules
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
3 tsp salt* *Will only use 1 x tsp next time
2 tsp black pepper
8 tbsp olive oil
Marinate overnight, slide on to the pole and once the coals are grey.....away you go....move up and down as required.
Its the best thing I have ever barbecued !
I am sure it was £65 but well worth it, I'm getting another one for my son in law for a Christmas gift as he has been borrowing ours because he loves it too
I thought I might see you 'here'
Just make sure that you have them on the spit in the order you want to take them off - ie the chicken will cook before the pork if it goes on at the same time - saves a bit of hassle as theres only the one handle.
I'll check out the FB page
Yes I noticed that most rotisserie attachments cost round about this price at the cheapest, when my wife seen this for £65 I told her (as a long time HUKDeal hunter) I would find a cheaper better one but nothing comes near it for quality /price so had to travel 11 miles back to Homebase for it!

With 'Weber Briquettes' (avoid Supermarket briquettes) you should only need to top-up around 2 to 3 hours. Depends on ambient temperature and wind speed though.
The 'Santa Maria' grill (which this basically is) to be authentic you would tend to burn logs / wood.
However Briquettes should be fine, or a mix even.
Someone mentioned a Facebook group earlier, maybe worth joining?.
Cheers! (edited)
Could you post Facebook link for Santa Maria grills for
If they slip try putting an onion inside the chicken and put the rotisserie rod through the onion...
A rotisserie counter weight may help as well.....
Depends on where you purchase them from. Briquettes can be a funny one as onced crushed, they have a binder added. If they smoke a lot, they're probably not good. Examine the ashes/residue also. Some can be really gritty that would also suggest questionable filler added. Expecty around 6 quid for 4kg. I swear by Aussie heat beads and in fact they give me a longer cook pound for pound.
No reason why you can use lumpwood either. It does burn hotter for the most part and irregular shapes often mean temps are all over the place. Just try and keep an even bed of coals.
Type jumbuck into Facebook and the owners club will come up
Genius!
Try The Range if you're stuck. They do 5kg bags of Big K Lumpwood and Briquettes at £3.99 each. About the best value you'll find on the high-street.
The Ever Burning Charcoal that mentions is a lot better though, even if it is 50% more expensive.
Hi
Has the Weber Kettle exceeded your expectations? For 8+ party.
