Make Your Own Spit
If you’re looking to build your own spit roaster, our DIY Spit Rotisserie Kits make the job simple. Each kit includes the key components you need such as spit motors, rotisserie skewers, and essential accessories, taking care of the most time-consuming parts of the build. All you need to supply is the base or frame where your charcoal will sit, and the kit handles everything above it.
Many customers use readily available items to build their spit bases, including 44-gallon drums, kegs, hot water systems, LPG tanks (with extreme care), or brick fire pits. These setups provide a solid foundation and work perfectly with our DIY kits.
DIY rotisserie kits are easy to install. Simply drill a few holes through the upright pillars and bolt them to the sides of your drum, keg, or fire pit. The motor and skewer support brackets mount to the uprights, with the skewer resting securely at each end. One of the biggest advantages of this setup is full height adjustment, allowing you to slide the skewer up or down the pillars to control heat while cooking.
If none of our standard DIY spit rotisserie kits suit your project, you can also purchase skewers, motors, and accessories individually to create a custom setup that works exactly how you want it to.
