Hogsy, how long do you think a 10kg pig would take to cook on a spit? Probably going to have to organise an open spit.

This right here is why I'm cutting some kegs this weekend to make a nice long spit home away from home for piggies this summer. Can't wait.

Not to sure on an open spit as I cook lid down on the Ranch
I think the last one we did was 15kg and took 3-4hrs.
Just make sure you leave plenty of time to prep it on the rod and to carve and serve

Thanks Hogsy. Was planning on starting Sat arvo as I'm working the morning. Might change it to the Sunday week after next though give myself some time with this if I do it on open pit

Well, I have a little 10kg Berkshire pig in my bar fridge:)
Looking forward to next weekend!
Anyone go an idea how long this will take on an open pit?

Hi Nath,

I haven't done a spit for a few years now, but from memory, I would allow at least 4 hours. You may need to crank up the heat in the last 30 min and you'll get your crackle, even if you have to pause the spit to get the heat into sections which have not yet crackled up.

EDIT:

Found this:

Knowing when your spit roast is ready

Cooking time will vary depending on the diameter and weight of your spit roasted meat, however as a guide:

Small roast 15cm diameter - 2.5 hours
2kg chicken – 2.5 hours
Roast 25cm diameter – 4 hours
10kg lamb/pig- 4 hours
15kg lamb/pig- 5 hours
20kg lamb/pig- 6 hours
2kg chicken- 1.5hours

It also depends on the weather and the charcoal, I've had a 15kg ready in 3 hours and one ready in 6. Prepare early, you can always reduce the fuel to keep it warm if ready early

Looks like my spit.. Have fun! We didn't hook the piglet on well enough and the thing started slipping a few hours in fml

Picked it up off gumtree for $300 in box. Barbe chef. Or something barbeques galore model.
No way I'd pay $500 for it. It's not a bad spit but looks like cheap stainless and the rod is just tube.
Anyway, I'm looking at the pig now not the spit
