OPERATION
Make sure that the exhaust hood is operating before building a fire. Building a fire in an open pit
churrasco rotisserie is practically the same as in a fireplace. We recommend that kindling or safe
(low volatility) solid fuel starting blocks be used with small chunks of wood or with charcoal.
LOADING AND UNLOADING THE MEAT:
Each spit has one end, which is pointed to skewer the meat and a handle at the other end. To
install a spit, insert the pointed end in the rotating slot at the back of the unit and then lower the
thimble at the handle end into the corresponding stainless steel half moon resting spot.
To unload the spits the procedure is reversed.
END OF THE DAY CLEANUP:
At the end of the day the unit should be cleaned so as to remove all grease.
If grease is allowed to build up in the unit a grease fire may occur.
Wipe or wash down the upper works of the unit as needed and at the end of the day.
The exhaust hood should operate at all times when the burners are in use or when wood is
burning or smoldering. Ashes should be removed from the ash drawers. Remove the wood
ashes from the unit. Place wood and coals into a tightly sealed metal container, which is stored
in a safe location away from combustibles. Do not dump ashes into a dumpster until you are
sure that no embers remain (sometimes they can remain live for several days).
