Elangrill CMP900 Charcoal Table Barbecue with Rotisserie Skewers

A charcoal table barbecue that combines the smoky depth of traditional grilling with the precision of motorised rotisserie skewers. The Elangrill CMP900 uses a charcoal brazier as its heat source, generating radiant heat that sears food while infusing it with classic barbecue flavour. Unlike gas or electric grills, charcoal produces higher temperatures and a distinctive aroma, making it the preferred choice for dishes that rely on authentic grilled character.

The grill operates on a rotisserie principle: eleven skewers, each driven by its own independent motor, rotate continuously above the charcoal. This rotation ensures even exposure to the heat, preventing hot spots and allowing fat to baste the food as it cooks. The adjustable height mechanism on each skewer lets the operator raise or lower the food relative to the charcoal, controlling the intensity of the heat without altering the fuel bed. This is particularly useful for cooking different items simultaneously—thicker cuts can be positioned closer to the heat, while delicate foods are kept further away to avoid burning.

To use the CMP900, the operator first loads the charcoal brazier with fuel and ignites it, allowing the coals to reach the desired temperature. Each skewer is then threaded with food—typically kebabs, whole poultry, or large cuts of meat—and secured in place. The height of each skewer is set according to the food type, and the motors are switched on, either individually or all at once. The grill requires no further intervention during cooking; the motors maintain a steady rotation, and the charcoal provides consistent heat. Once cooking is complete, the skewers are removed, and the food is served directly from them or transferred to a holding area.

The CMP900 is constructed from stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to high temperatures and corrosion. This material also simplifies cleaning, as it does not absorb odours or discolour over time. The grill's footprint of 931 x 565 mm makes it suitable for use on a worktop or counter, while its height of 315 mm allows it to fit beneath standard overhead extraction systems. The 230 V electrical supply powers the skewer motors, which draw a combined load of 0.55 kW, compatible with a standard single-phase circuit found in most professional kitchens.

Each skewer motor operates at 55 W, providing enough torque to rotate large or dense items without strain. The independent drive system means that one skewer can be stopped or adjusted without affecting the others, allowing for flexibility in cooking different foods at the same time. The power rating of 0.55 kW reflects the total demand when all motors are running, which is well within the capacity of a typical kitchen circuit.

Cleaning the CMP900 involves removing the charcoal ash after each use and wiping down the stainless steel surfaces to prevent grease build-up. The skewers and their motors can be detached for thorough cleaning, and the adjustable height mechanism should be checked periodically to ensure smooth operation. The grill's design minimises crevices where food debris can accumulate, reducing the time required for upkeep.

The CMP900 is categorised as a tabletop charcoal grill with rotisserie functionality, designed for professional kitchens that require the flavour of charcoal grilling alongside the efficiency of motorised cooking.
