    Just for you Dave and to make you hungrier ....

    Working out how to set up the spit



    Ta daaaaaaa.....Goat, Chicken and Wabbit



    Considering our first attempt....it worked out really well. Meat was great....maybe cooked a smidgy too long.....blame that on the beer.....but still succulent and great flavour. We did a heap of veges in the camp oven....with a splash of beer for extra flavour and 10 lads got to eat very well,

    Regards

    Agreed was a brilliant night, roast and bloody good attempt for our first go.

    Ended up using 2 pickets to hold the spit with wire one end and a bunnings 4kg battery powered motor the other end (cheers for the tip on the bunnings motor AND yep agreed bit noisy but with 10 guys in full chat didn't hear it luckily).

    Then used 2 more pickets on an angle to hold the shield up. Will improve on the setup next time but all in all was brilliant!!!

    Thanks for all the suggestions everyone

    All up, probably around 3 1/2 hrs...goat went on first...then chooks...then wabbit. I'd say once the set up is perfect that time would reduce,

    I made a spit a while back with the help of Bojan (Offender90). Very simple but strong. 32NB stainless with 10 mm solid for the spikes.

    Has seen plenty of use. Works well. Just turn it every 15-30 mins. The handle will lock in down and up positions. And also in either horizontal direction if you use a shovel (with d handle) to hold the handle in place.

    Here it is with a 16kg goat:

    I have a grill plate that sits on top of the angles you can see inside the lid so
    we can cook in a saucepan or frypan (bacon & eggs) or I can pull it out set up a row of heat beads in a wire basket that sits in the bottom like a cob cooker and do a roast on the spit. I have also just sat the camp oven on the grill plate and done a roast in that,with the stainless steel holding the heat I can cook a roast for a family of four in about 1-1/4 hrs.The cross bar
    can be lowered to just above the closed lid and locked into place so you can carry it away when not required. It was a work in progress for about 6 months until I thought it was right

    Cheers Ian

    as I am way to slack to work out how to post a photo you have made one very similar to mine. I am currently using an old 240V damper motor from an AC plant with an inverter which is noisless but I must admit the idea of batteries appeals to me as there is less setting up (read very lazy) I also have a heat bead rack, I did make a gas burner for it but the beads as so much faster to set up and also I think add a better taste to the meat, and as the oil drips of it burns on the beads as opposed to the burner which just ended up messy. also the motor turns just fast enough so that when you baste it the honey soy mix doesn't drip off.
