What is the ideal cooking height for spit roasting?
Spit roasting is enjoyable and can be very rewarding, but there are numerous factors to consider when cooking on a spit. We are frequently asked, “How High Should You Spit Roast the Meat Over Charcoal?” It is an important question because if you position your spit too close to the heat source, your meat will burn, on the other hand, if you position it too high, it will take a very long time to cook. It’s a simple concept; you should be able to hold your hand 5 to 8 seconds above the fuel source without burning it. Keep in mind that it is only a guide, but it will get you started.
