There are plenty of suppliers around the world offering pig spit roasters, but the quality can vary a lot. In this guide, we’ll compare a few well-known brands so you can see the differences for yourself.
Pigoutroasters.com – This Canadian company makes top-tier commercial-grade spit roasters built for roasting whole pigs. While the quality is outstanding, the price point is high, and these units are primarily designed for commercial catering. That might not make sense for customers just looking to entertain at home.
Charotis.com and Spitjack.com – Both companies sell spit roasters and related gear, but we can’t verify that their products aren’t manufactured in China. In fact, you’ll find similar—sometimes nearly identical—models on Chinese wholesale sites, eBay, and Amazon.
How to spot Chinese-made products?
They often come with a much lower price tag, a plain gray finish, and are photographed on white or artificial backgrounds. The spits themselves tend to be short with thin diameters, making them less effective—some would say even unusable. One common feature is the X-shaped base you’ll find on many of these models.
R-grill.com – Our products are premium-grade, original European spit roasters, engineered with heavy-duty European craftsmanship. We likely offer the longest spit available on the market, paired with an ideal motor speed and torque for both backyard and professional use. Plus, we provide a range of add-ons and accessories you can purchase separately.
The only trade-off? Shipping takes a little longer—about 1 to 4 days more—because every unit is shipped directly from Germany to your door.
Bottom line:
Every brand brings something different to the table. Pigoutroasters.com offers incredible quality but at a premium price and with a commercial focus. Charotis.com and Spitjack.com could be budget-friendly alternatives, but we can’t guarantee they aren’t sourcing from low-cost Chinese factories.
R-grill.com gives you robust, European-built equipment with the longest spit out there and a motor built to perform, even if delivery takes a bit more time.
At the end of the day, it’s about choosing the right tool for your needs.
Take a close look at the photos:
We’ve personally tested a Chinese-made spit roaster. Just compare the weld thickness on the R-grill meat forks to the thin, cracked welds on the Chinese unit. In the pictures, you’ll notice the Chinese model looks shiny in the sunlight—but the motor barely turns.
Here we have a small update with a few links because a few people reminded us through their comments of how different we are from the competition.
