This is one of the best open-fire cooking items I have found in a long time. As most of you know, we have offered our own Turn Spit in the past for roasting over the open fire. The Turn Spit works great, but I have often found it difficult to handle when removing large cuts of meat, especially two or three roasts. It is a real challenge to get the meat off the spit without shooting it across the table - or worse, right off the spit and on the ground. If that sounds like the voice of experience - well, that's because we've done that more than once!

Totally by accident, I came across a video on YouTube early this summer featuring a "cradle rotisserie". It looked so cool that I decided to try it and now we use it weekly. It holds the meat without spearing it with a spit - simple as that. You open the adjustable cradle arms, place the meat inside, tighten them down and roast like any other rotisserie. However, when the meat is done - all you have to do is open the cradle arms and lift out the roast, chicken, turkey, etc.

I loved it so much, I ordered two of them. One for our gas grills, and the other largest one available for over the open fire. You'll be seeing them a lot in upcoming episodes. We did have to make some slight modifications for using it over the open fire - but Bob and Larry figured it out and I'm sure most of you handy guys out there will too!

After much searching online, I literally found one source for buying this item. CLICK HERE to visit the store on eBay that offers this way-cool rotisserie! They come in a couple of sizes and they are kind of pricy - but if you cook outdoors as much as we do, you'll instantly appreciate the quality and recognize the value - not to mention the convenience!
