    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)
    The motor has been set up to run off my inverter so I don't have to change batteries.

    Reflective shield helps

    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...

    You can hardly hear the little electric motor remember its little and if you have enough friends you are normaly chatting too each other so there goes your peace anyway
    Sounds like your not getting a invite too noisey for you , Oh and watching a camp fire through the day is nowhere as good as at night , as most of the cooking is done in day light hours there is endless other things to do than watching the spit , like fishing , driving , collecting wood and so on , the whole idea of the spit is to cook slow which means you dont have be watching it all the time

    Any ideas/suggestions on good ways to go about it while camping? Thinking some goat and rabbit on the weekend.

    Cheers in advance

    You can buy a battery powered set up in Bunnings for about $45 complete with horizontal rod and meat spikes,you may just need to get a couple of vertical poles to mount it all on. I bought one and mounted it inside a beer keg,cut a lid into it and fitted hinges and a roasting rack inside,one of the bestest brainstorms I have ever had (probably the only one). 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.

    Cheers Ian
