Having A Spit Roast Pig For Your Wedding

 If you are interested about spit roasting, it might be a good thing for you to know that you have a choice of making it easy for you. Cooking through spit roasting can be done by using either the Charcoal Spit or the Gas Spit. You just need to know the pros and cons of both methods before you decide which type is good for you. You can also choose to hire the spit roasting services that use both types of methods.

  The Charcoal Spit is commonly known as the old fashion way of cooking on a spit roast. If you are looking for the delicious and tasty smoky flavor of your roast, then this is the right choice for you. You can also cook larger spit roast sizes when you use the Charcoal Spit. Though using the Charcoal Spit takes a bit longer to cook your spit roast, it would still be worth it since you would be assured of the good smoky taste over the slow heat and fire of the charcoal.  There are no limitations to the kind of meat you may want to cook like whole pig, whole cow, lamb, pork, beef, chicken and other kinds of meat.

 If you like to know the disadvantages of using the Charcoal Spit, there are some to be taken note of. There is always the cost of fuel or charcoal; someone has to be always there to tend to the turning of the spit roast and also for looking after the right heat and fire to be produced, and the environmental effects like wind and rain. Then there is the problem of smoke produced and also the discarding and cleaning of ashes, the spot to be cleaned and other materials used in cooking. It also can not be used when there is a Total Fire Ban day scheduled.

 The Gas Spit Roast is a very convenient way of cooking. You just place the meat properly on the bar, start the burner, secure the cabinet and let it do the cooking for you. You have fewer chores to do like occasional basting of the meat and checking on the flame. Cooking time is faster compared to the Charcoal Spit since this method is not bothered by many environmental factors. Cooking is not messy and with no smoke around to inhale. You can also use it anytime even on a scheduled Total Fire Ban day.

 The disadvantages of the Gas Spit would be the lack of the delicious smoky flavor that is so popular among spit roasts. This method also has limited sizes for spit roasts to be used, and if you decide to hire a service like this, the equipment would be having some transporting problems due to the big sizes of the equipment.

 The meat sizes have their limitations and you have to be aware of the weight and length measurements of the meat to be placed in the Gas Spit. You can fit in lamb weighing up to 16kgs, whole pig weighing up to18kgs, pork legs, and beef parts for as long as the spit can carry them to ensure that they are properly cooked well.

 Spit roasting is a fine way of enjoying the rudiments of slow cooking, and appreciating more of the traditional way of roasting meat. However, modern technology has also its effects on spit roasting, thereby paving the way for more convenient and modern ways of doing it. It is a matter of personal choice for you which type you would enjoy more.
