Elangrill 42P-CAMINO Legna Wood-Fuelled Chicken Grill

A wood-fuelled rotisserie grill cooks chicken by suspending it over an open flame while slowly rotating the spits. The heat radiates from burning wood or charcoal, browning the skin evenly and infusing the meat with a smoky aroma that electric or gas grills cannot match. The planetary motion of the discs keeps each piece at a constant distance from the fire, so the heat reaches every part of the bird without scorching. This method locks in moisture while crisping the exterior, giving the classic roast-chicken texture and flavour that customers expect from a traditional rotisserie.

To start, the operator loads up to 42 chickens of roughly 1 kg each onto the six stainless steel spits, securing each bird with the forks. The spits are then mounted onto the planetary discs, which are locked in place so only the rods rotate. Once the wood or charcoal is lit and the fire is steady, the motor is switched on, turning the spits at a slow, even speed. The chickens cook gradually, basting in their own juices as they turn. A removable fat-collecting bucket beneath the grill catches drippings, keeping the cooking area clean and reducing flare-ups.

The grill is built as an open frame in stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to heat and corrosion. The planetary discs, spits and forks are all made of the same material, ensuring durability under constant use. A control panel on the front allows the operator to set the rotation speed and monitor the cooking process.

The 0.25 kW motor draws power from a standard 230 V single-phase supply, the type found in most professional kitchens. The footprint of 1395 mm long by 490 mm wide fits against a wall or in a corner, leaving enough clearance for the operator to load and unload the spits. The 646 mm height places the cooking area at a comfortable working level, while the open design allows heat to dissipate and makes it easy to tend the fire.

Cleaning is straightforward: the fat-collecting bucket is removed and emptied after each service, and the stainless steel surfaces are wiped down with a damp cloth. The spits and forks are taken off the discs and washed separately, while the discs themselves are cleaned in place. The open frame means there are no hidden corners where grease can build up, so maintenance is quick and thorough.

The 42P-CAMINO Legna is one of a range of wood-fuelled rotisseries from Elangrill, with capacities from 16 to 126 chickens per hour, allowing kitchens to match the grill to their expected volume. This model is placed in the catalogue under wood-fuelled rotisseries, alongside charcoal and mixed-fuel variants.
