    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.

    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!

    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.

    Pig on a spit. Yum. I would be sucking bones until the sun came up.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded

    Buckets contain two different basting recipes one for pork one for lamb and the lamb gut cavity contains fresh mint and rosemary.

    arapawa ram. any good on spit?

    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
    If my work annoys me, I cull them

    I'm willing to bet a back wheel will go right nice slow done over some manuka.

    Dundee my marinade recipe for venison is guarded by six SAS rangers 24/7. There are too many internationally acclaimed chef's trying to learn the secret ingredients. It is right up there with Colonel Sanders eleven herbs and spices and Coca Cola.
