    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.

    I always fancied making one driven by water. Hopper/bucket thing and a variable drip through a tap turning a water wheel made out of $1.99 ladles from the warehouse. Just for shits and giggles. Suppose once the spit and everything else is built you can power it with whatever you like via a 3/8 drive off the end of the shaft
