Portable Spit Roasters
Spit roaster portability review
A lot of people have the notion that a BBQ spit rotisserie is an expensive and immovable piece of equipment. These days this is simply not the case.
Today, there is a range of spit roasters that are remarkably easy to set up, are lightweight and highly portable.
If you tend to go camping, caravanning or 4x4 regularly, you'd want a smaller spit roaster with a 3-volt battery operated motor or a 12-volt motor. This ensures lightweight, quick and easy set up/pack down and it won۪t take up a lot of room in your car.
Auspits
Auspits are great for cooking up to 8kgs. They are portable, battery-operated and packed in a small carry bag. Throw it in the car next time you're going camping, hunting or 4-wheeling and you won't even know it's there. Hammer the main upright into the ground vertically and then attach the spit roast shaft horizontally.
There are 3 Auspit models:
Auspit Basic- Comes with the drive post, stainless steel skewer and prongs, a carry bag and a battery-operated motor
Austpit Stainless- Same as the Auspit Basic kit, except the drive post and motor are made from stainless steel
Auspit Gold- Same as the Auspit Stainless, but also includes extra accessories such as a fire tray, spit mate tumbling basket, heatproof gloves and an extra set of prongs
Portable Camping Spit Roaster
The Flaming Coals portable camping spit set is perfect for camping, sitting over a 44-gallon drum or cooking directly off the ground. It is designed with strength in mind which makes it superior to other portable spit sets available on the Australian market.
The set comes fully complete with stainless steel accessories (22mm thick skewer, 2 large prongs and a back brace), an extra tall frame, better height adjustment functionality and locking pins.
The stainless steel skewer is a 2 piece skewer that is adjustable in length. You can use this spit roaster to cook just a couple of chooks, and gyros or even put a whole pig on it.

The Wedge with Spit Roaster Kit
The Wedge is a compact, versatile and truly "Flat Pack" fire pit that has a range of uses. Its flat-pack design means it takes up hardly any room in your car and you won't even notice it's there.
