The Fellas Had A Go At Doing A Rolled Pork On The Spit In Orange On The Weekend,you Guessed It A Lot Of Beer Was Drunk.needless To Say The Girls Went To Bed Pretty Hungery Turnes Out They Dont Really Like Rare Pork So They Ate Spuds For Dinner.whats Wrong With That.:d We Told Them,you Cant Rush Theses Things.:d

[Googy]

Well I think I may have to rip off that idea for a spit. that pork looks yummy.
Had a BBQ last night and used my camp oven with hot rocks and used Roothies pumpkin and potatoe bake recipe from sc outback challange 2. Turned out nearly perfect except could have used a bit of garlic but no one complained. G

No dramas;) :D works a treat with a 5 amp fuse in the fuse holder, have used it to turn over a 18kg whole sheep and you could grab the pole at the end as hard as you could and it still wont stop, and it's super quiet!

Camp ovens hey? well i guess thats a whole new thread is'nt it?:cool:
We have just started exploring that area, and with a little success too!

I had just cashed in a gift voucher I got for my birthday so I picked up my first camp oven. one of those things I alway was gunna get but never got around to getting. so I cleaned all the protective crap off it and seasoned it and thought "bugger me I'm gunna have to cook something now" and away I went. Heat beads work a treat.

[GOIN BUSH]

this was our first trial run of our home made spit(motor is off a bbq spit but built the frame and fire grate)had a go at home,nice piece of lamb MMMMMM.the neighbours thought our electricity had been cut off.

here is a home made spit/fire grate cooking our xmas turkey at west kunderang last xmas.great feed.

Hey i think I could smell that cookin. We camped on the Macleay River near Comara Station last Christmas.
Kunderang is a great place.Did you share with MAx and Cindy in the old hut near the cedars.;)

Heat beads work a treat.

Yep heat beads are good, whack 3 pegs in the ground and put the beads around them and rest the camp oven on the pegs, lets a bit of air around the beads to let it heat more evenly, we also use chacoal, that is what is in the fire in the above pics of the pork, gives it a heaps nice taste too!;)

when i find the cord for me camera so i can put the pics on the puter i will put some up of our camp oven lamb leg with BBQ sauce marinade! Mmmmm tasty!

So, how do you find it "goinbush"? When i watched the fraser DVD that came free with my mag, i thought it was really noisy for such a small unit...........but maybe, thats because of the mic being soooo close to Mr Rooth.

gday mate
congrats on the spit roast, ive been thinkiing of getting one myself for a while
my query would be can you take the holding bracket off (or do you even need to)
if you wanted to put the spit roast on a normal hooded bbq , (the ones with the holes for a spitroast motor and rod) or would it all get in the way

if i could use one of these for a dual purpose (camping and a bbq ) then id definately get one

regards

Mark W

[GOIN BUSH]

yes its the same as mate, you just need to make a supporting bracket for the motor(i have used a joist support before)

[GOIN BUSH]

gave the auspit a go on our cape trip,pork lamb and chook fed 9 happy hungry campers.tasted great mmm:thumb:

[woolgoolgaoffroad]

[GOIN BUSH]

only complaint is the type of beer..........
