How to Attach a Rotisserie Skewer to the Motor | Easy Setup Guide

Attaching your rotisserie skewer to your Flaming Coals spit motor is one of the simplest steps in getting your spit roaster ready for action. With the right setup, you can securely fix your skewer and start cooking safely, even when your coals are piping hot.

This guide will walk you through the process quickly and easily.

Quick Release Pin System

All Flaming Coals large spit roasters come equipped with a quick release pin, making it much faster and safer to attach and remove the skewer compared to using traditional nuts and bolts. This is especially handy when the spit is hot and you want to avoid any burns.

Step-By-Step Guide

1. Locate the Hole on the Skewer:
   At the end of your skewer, there is a 5mm hole that runs straight through it.

2. Line Up With Motor Hole:
   Your Flaming Coals spit motor also has a matching 5mm hole. Line up the skewer hole with the motor hole carefully.

3. Insert The Quick Release Pin:
   Slide the pin through both holes. This locks the skewer in place, securing it for smooth rotation during your cook.

Once inserted, your skewer is ready to hold chickens, roasts, gyros, or any other delicious cuts for even spit roasting.

Tips For Safe and Efficient Attachment

• Always ensure the motor is off while attaching the skewer.
• Use heat-resistant gloves if the skewer or motor is already warm.
• Double-check the pin is fully inserted before starting the rotisserie.

With this simple system, you can attach and remove skewers safely, without fuss, and spend more time focusing on your cooking.

Why This Matters

Proper attachment ensures:

• Even rotation for perfectly cooked meat
• Safety around high heat and spinning skewers
• Ease of use during quick swaps or multiple cooks

It’s a small step that makes a big difference in your spit roasting experience.
