Flare-ups create uneven cooking and can char the exterior before the interior is cooked.

Chicken halves and whole chickens also work excellently — the radiant heat crisps the skin evenly on both sides without burning.

Raise the cage along the stake to move meat further from the fire — lower heat for slow rendering and gentle cooking during the early stages of a long cook. Lower the cage toward the end of cooking to bring meat closer to the coals — higher heat for exterior browning and crisping. A practical approach: start at 30 to 40cm from the coals for the first two-thirds of the cook, then drop to 20 to 25cm for the final third.

As the skewers rotate, all sides of the food are exposed to heat evenly, which creates consistent browning and prevents burning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy continuous rotation matters: \u003c\/strong\u003eWhen you cook food on a static grill, the side facing the heat source cooks faster than the side facing away. You need to flip or turn the food manually to cook both sides evenly. If you forget to turn the food or turn it too late, one side burns while the other remains undercooked.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContinuous rotation eliminates this problem. The food is constantly turning, so heat exposure is distributed evenly across all surfaces.
