When cooking a whole pig or lamb – or even an array of large roasting pieces, the balance of the meat on the pole will never be perfect. This causes the pole to rotate unevenly and can cause the meat to cook slightly unevenly and also put extra strain on the spit motor.

We supply a counterweight with your spit oven hire, and this handy accessory will ensure your spit roast meat rotates evenly.
The expert team at The BBQ Store have put together a handy how-to video on setting up your counterweight correctly:
