    Aparently there's something really bad about using galvanised steel and cooking
    The ugly drum smoker guys avoid it like the plague
    Lets off poison gas from what I understand

    If you are short on time you can bone out and lay flat or stuff and roll before putting on the spit

    Have something to broom onto it while it's cooking

    have done quite a few on a rental gas spit, 30kg pig took around 6hours from memory. make sure you dont have a dog get into the fat drip tray.... leads to pancreatitis and an expensive vet bill

    Spit roaster is just a bit of a revamp of one that was rusting out the back of his house.....44gallon drum cut in half to hold coals..... everything that turns is 316 ss except the pig. 12v motor with reduction turns about 2 rpm,...still needs a bit of a wind sheild.... Might do that tomorrow.


    Got some apples sorted for basting......was thinking apple juice and brown sugar and salt ?

    Is the drum galvanised? I would have thought it would let out zinc fumes if it were?

    Juice the apples instead. Get a garden spray bottle and just spray it every so often

    You know spit roasted potk is very nice
    But i reckon a couple of lambs done the same with plenty of rosemary and garlic in pockets just under the surface and heaps of salt on the outside before they go on is actually better tasting than the pork
