Hi Moose,,
I get down your way a bit to visit my family at the Cape and go fishing :D,,,might have to do everyone on the forum here a favour, and join you one evening to sample the goodies :),, and give a report on it of course :angel: you know,,how it all works,,the taste test and so on,,,oh,,and help take the rubbish out,,,:twobeers:

I've managed to find another pic of the spit setup. By the way, it does taste as yummy as it looks! (if I do say so myself:D)
The motor has been set up to run off my inverter so I don't have to change batteries.

I've found that a reflective shield speeds the cooking process - see attached thumbnails.
A few boned and netted legs of lamb.
no disrespect to those that choose otherwise, but the thought a little electric motor whirring away while I watch a peaceful campfire for a few hours would drive me NUTS - get up out of ya chair every 15 minutes to grab another beer (or whatever) and turn the spit handle 180 degrees - not too tough is it?? goin bush is about peace and quiet for me...
Mmmm, can;t say I'd have that problem...........the music would likely drown it out:angel:Quote:

The thing works a treat and cooks a roast in about 1-1/2hrs to perfection. I have used it about 4 times so far and am still using the original batteries, then we can pull out the roasting gear and hotplate and have an enclosed fire pit if there are restrictions.
