Do any look like the beasty on the left? Don't worry if they look a little fluffy right now I'm sure you will soon figure out how to transform at least one into the perfect roast.Did these yesterday for a friend.

Thats a wicked set up:yuush::thumbsup:
Thanks one revolution every 50 seconds
Gidday John M,
under the iron is a pit dug with a embers in it? or do you burn the wood above the iron? Have to say thats a sweet set up driving it like that!
Pointer
About half way in the 200ltr drum is a mesh and the wood is burned on this.The embers fall through and are removed with a shovel from the bottom and placed where needed on the sheets of iron to control the cooking heat more at the legs and shoulders less in the middle.The embers give a slight smoke flavour to the meat. If the iron is not used moisture from the ground can reduce the life of the embers and some unwanted flavours can taint the meat.The lamb [a late lamb from last year] and the pig in the photo are about 2hrs from ready.

Fat buckets ready behind the spits with brushes at the ready too apply more if need be:cool:
Pig on a spit. Yum. I would be sucking bones until the sun came up.
Buckets contain two different basting recipes one for pork one for lamb and the lamb gut cavity contains fresh mint and rosemary.
I shouldn't of spotted those buckets,but a man can spot a good feed there:thumbsup:Bet the buckets weren't spotted from other viewers:P.Quote:

I had a lamb on a spit for my 30 th. used Manuka for wood and boned the whole thing out, evened the meat out and had it as a great big rolled roast on a spit. Worked really well
I'm willing to bet a back wheel will go right nice slow done over some manuka.Quote:
