Here is a spit we did in Germany back in the mid 80s
Couldnt find a spit to hire anywhere, so used some ingenuity
Childs swing holds it all up.
Tarp was borrowed from the submarine yards ( its fireproof )
The spit was the shower rail from the house.
The wheel came from the boss's wifes pushbike :-)
The power drill is supported by old floorboards and has a high tech gravity loaded drive system with the bit of string controlling the pressure
The speed control was a wedge of wood jammed into a bit of string around the variable speed drills trigger.
Balance was adjusted as required during cooking, by tying wahatever was handy to a spoke.
The second tub was full of roast potatoes :-)
Yummmmmmmmmm
