Pick up the pre-ordered 17 kg lamb.

Prepare the charcoal using briquettes and cardboard.

Unwrap the lamb and season it with salt inside and outside.

Prepare an olive oil mix with herbs and garlic to brush on the lamb.

Cut off the two front legs of the lamb and tie the stomach up.

Make incisions in the skin to tie up the stomach for moisture retention.

Insert the lamb onto the spit and secure it with clamps and wire.

Ensure the lamb is tightly secured to prevent movement while spinning.

Check that all clamps and wires are secure before starting the spit.

After about an hour, brush the lamb with the olive oil mix to add flavor and moisture.

Continue cooking for approximately 2 hours until the lamb is golden and cooked through.

Remove the lamb from the spit and let it cool before cutting it up.
