Popular Post Greyman 25,248 Posted July 22, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Just got a battery operated rotisary, it's meant to go over a camp fire but a little messing and it goes over the Barbie, boned stuffed with apples and jerk past then rolled belly of pork, on the left, the chicken on the right has a perforated can full of oil, garlic,chillie,s and smoked paprika inserted into its Ahole which flavours the meat better than any rub or marinade, well chuffed with my first attempt 23 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fireman 10,774 Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Just trying to be helpful mate,but put a spit to the side of a fire and not over the top of it then the fat won't drip into the fire and make it stink,also try not to have to add unburnt wood to a cooking fire as that's what blackens things and also makes it taste smokey.. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fat dripping into the fire and a taste of smoke are what you cook over an open fire for mate, I also ran out of charcoal hence the logs but it was still the best tasting chicken I,ve done in years, the pork roll is always nice but the spit is another level, recon I,ll be out there all winter on it as well 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
