Wood-fired chicken grill Elangrill 16/P-CAMINO

A wood-fuelled chicken grill roasts poultry over live wood and charcoal, infusing each bird with a smoky barbecue aroma while the meat turns slowly above the heat. The firebox beneath the rotating spits holds logs and embers, generating radiant heat that cooks the chicken evenly without drying the skin. Smoke from the wood rises through the cavity, seasoning the meat as it circulates, while the fat drips away from the birds rather than flaring up and charring the surface.

The Elangrill 16P-CAMINO uses planetary rotation: each spit revolves around its own axis while also travelling in a wider circle around the central heat source. This double movement ensures every part of the chicken faces the fire at some point, eliminating cold spots and producing consistent colour and texture. The Grill Plus system locks the discs in place so only the spits turn, keeping the birds close to the heat for faster cooking and lower fuel consumption.

To operate the grill, load up to sixteen 1 kg chickens onto the four 760 mm stainless steel spits, securing each bird with the forks. Light the wood and charcoal in the firebox beneath, then start the double-motor Grill Plus system from the control panel. The spits begin their planetary rotation, exposing each bird to the radiant heat and smoke. A removable stainless steel bucket beneath the spits collects dripping fat, preventing flare-ups and simplifying cleaning.

The grill is built from stainless steel, including the planetary discs, spits and fat-collecting bucket, for durability and corrosion resistance in a hot, humid kitchen. The control panel houses the switches that start and stop the motors and regulate their speed, allowing the operator to adjust the rotation rate to suit the size and type of poultry.

A power rating of 0.25 kW indicates the electrical load of the motors, which run on a standard 230 V single-phase circuit found in most professional kitchens. The unit measures 1020 mm wide, 550 mm deep and 556 mm high, fitting into a compact footprint that leaves room for wood storage and prep space on the worktop beside it. The stated capacity of sixteen 1 kg chickens defines the maximum batch size for a single service, allowing the kitchen to plan production without overloading the grill.

After service, remove the fat-collecting bucket and empty it. Wipe down the stainless steel discs, spits and forks with a damp cloth to clear grease and ash, then wash them in hot soapy water. The firebox should be brushed out to remove ash and unburnt wood, ensuring proper airflow for the next use.

The 16P-CAMINO is a wood-fuelled chicken grill with planetary rotation and the Grill Plus system, designed for professional kitchens that require the authentic barbecue aroma and appearance of wood-roasted poultry.
