2.0 OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 LIGHTING THE MINI SPIT
- Make sure the charcoal you are planning to use in your Hark
Mini Spit is 100 percent dry.
- Remove the cooking grill (9).
- Make sure the charcoal grate (10) is placed on the oor of
the body (14). This will protect the oor from burning out and
prolong the life of the product.
- Place three to four re lighters in the middle of the charcoal
grate.
- Pile the charcoal on top of the re lighters in a pyramid
formation.
- Light the re lighters and let the charcoal burn.
- Let the charcoal burn for 25 – 30 mins. Do not disturb the
charcoal during this time.
- The charcoal is ready to cook on once the charcoal is covered in
a white ash.
- This process may take up to 45mins to 1 hour depending on
weather conditions.
- Be sure to allow plenty of time when lighting the BBQ.

3.0 ROTISSERIE FUNCTION
- Always place the spit rod
through the center of the food.
- Secure the food rmly to the
spit rod with the 4 pronged
meat forks. It may be
necessary to tie some food
such as fowl and rolled roasts
to retain their shape for even
rotation and cooking.
- It is important to balance your
food on the spit rod. If you do
not balance your food it may
cook unevenly and may also
add unnecessary pressure on the motor which may reduce
the life of the motor. Balancing the food on your spit rod will
determine how much weight can be turned by the motor.
- If food is unbalanced on the spit rod you can use the counter
weight provided. Attach the counter weight assembly to the
spit rod as per the assembly instructions. The counter weight
should be directly opposite the heavy side of the food. The
counter weight can be adjusted vertically, towards the spit rod
or away from the spit rod until the proper balance is achieved.
- Please check your food at various times during the cooking
process. As the food cooks it may shrink and the four pronged
meat forks may need to be adjusted.
CAUTION: the rotisserie will be hot. Use a BBQ mitt and pliers
to adjust the thumbscrews or any other part of the rotisserie.

4.0 BARBEQUE FUNCTION
- To set your BBQ up for direct
grilling, spread the charcoal
across the bottom of the
charcoal grate, so that you
are able to place the food
directly above the coals.
- To spread the coals you will
need a small shovel and
should use a BBQ mitt to
avoid any burns. Be careful:
the coals will be extremely hot.
- Direct cooking is a high heat method and is best used for
searing steaks, hamburgers, sausages, chicken, sh and
vegetables.
- You can get better heat control if you spread your coals into
three zones on the charcoal grate.
a. Hot zone – Double layer of coals. Used for initially searing
the food to seal in all the juices.
b. Medium zone – Single layer of coals. Used for cooking the
food.
c. Cool zone – No Coals. Used for warming or resting the food if
it starts to burn.
