It was great fun Dennis! I haven't played on rope for a while now.
Inside the fire ring (at the back) is a cast iron water heater - it has a tap out the back for hot water at any time. The frame over the top allows for hanging billies and pots, etc, and the two articulated arms are supports for the spit
. The right hand spit support wasn't being used as we weren't cooking anything too big - just a beef roast and lamb roast - so the spit is cantilevered over the fire from the left hand arm.
Also inside the fire ring is a camp oven sitting in the coals, as well as one hanging from the frame and a large billy on the RHS.
Having been a bushwalking camper for most of my life, I still have trouble getting my head around car camping, let alone industrial strength camping like this!
The set up belongs to a mate of mine who builds gear for Tuff-trucks in his spare time so its well engineered!
Al.
