Thread: Building a spit roaster

If using over a fire(the best way) using a universal joint or cv joint allows you to pick up the non drive end and swivel it away from the fire for carving and heat can be adjusted if some fool puts to much wood on

That is bloody smart. Awesomely, I just happen to have pulled a prop shaft out of Subaru, how convinient. Project for next weekend ��

Hi,
One feature I thought about you could put on your roast spit is as follow:
Where the fat drip down to, is getting a little pump to recirculate it and spray it back on top of the carcass.
A similar thing would be to have a sort of a long ladle , with the handle stuck into the carcass , and as the spit turns, the ladle would pick up the fat/ gravy at the bottom and as it goes up during the revolution spread the gravy over the carcass, it would keep the meat moist and tasty :-) ( delete the word cholesterol from your dictionary !)

Use a long side front cruiser axle perhaps? About the only thing an 80series is useful for

And sometimes just a little bit of meat.
