Wood-fired chicken grill Elangrill 48P-CAMINO legna

A wood-fuelled chicken grill roasts birds over an open flame, infusing them with a smoky barbecue aroma while the meat turns on rotating spits. The heat source is wood or charcoal, which burns beneath the spits, and the rotation ensures even cooking without constant manual turning. This method locks in juices and creates a crisp exterior, giving the finished product the texture and flavour expected from a traditional rotisserie.

The operator loads up to 48 whole chickens, each weighing around one kilogram, onto the planetary discs. The discs hold the birds in place while the spits rotate, keeping the meat close to the heat for consistent browning. Once the birds are secured, the motor is started, and the spits begin turning. The operator monitors the cooking process, adjusting the wood or charcoal as needed to maintain the desired temperature. A removable fat-collecting bucket catches drippings, preventing flare-ups and keeping the cooking area clean.

The grill is constructed from stainless steel, including the planetary discs, spits, and fat-collecting bucket. The frame is open, allowing heat to circulate freely around the birds. The control panel houses the motor switch and any additional settings for rotation speed or timing.

The 0.25 kW motor powers the rotation of the spits, drawing 230 V from a standard single-phase circuit. The unit's footprint of 1020 by 605 mm fits into a compact space on a worktop or floor, while its 780 mm height allows easy loading and unloading of the birds. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and withstands high temperatures, making it suitable for continuous use in a professional kitchen.

Cleaning involves removing the fat-collecting bucket and emptying the drippings after each use. The stainless steel surfaces can be wiped down with a damp cloth, and the spits and forks are detached for thorough washing. The open-frame design minimises areas where grease can accumulate, reducing the time needed for deep cleaning.
