The popularity of the outdoor meal has been known for some time. Holidays are an excellent time to start gathering outdoors about the fire or the grill, and enjoying the backyard. One thing that many people seem to be missing when they hold these wonderful outdoor cookouts is the ability to cook an entire meal. Obviously you will have hamburgers and hot dogs, but have you ever considered rotisserie chicken? What if you want to cook a roast? Sometimes these things simply taste better over an open flame, and you certainly cannot deny that!

A BBQ spit will be required if you wish to cook an entire animal. Basically, the BBQ spit is a rotisserie that sits above the grill or the fire pit. There are several different BBQ spits for sale, and the one you choose will depend on your setup.

Over the Fire

Obviously an over the fire BBQ spit will need to be tall enough to avoid the pit itself, and these are some of the most popular. You have more than likely seen a fire spit in an old western film at some point. By using a spit of this nature you are carrying on a tradition that extends for quite literally several thousand years.

Over the Grill

Cooking with a BBQ spit over the grill is one of the newer methods, and this will generally require a specialized spit which attaches to your grill. Theses are shorter and easily stored. If you need to cook a lot of meat, both single and dual spits are available. Cooking with a spit has definitely become an easy task as of late.

Motion

Form actor side, there two different types of BBQ spit. While one is motorized, the other is manual. You will not need to attend the cooking with the motorized version. It is however easy to forget about the cooking, and if the motor ever fails, you will have a rather one sided cook job. Even though a manual machine will call for a bit of work, you will be able to control the process.

As you can see, this will not be an easy decision, but having a spit on hand is a perfect solution for those backyard cookouts. The most important step is determining which version would suit your needs. As with any other product, you have the option of buying either online or in an actual store.

Buying in a retail store will give you instant gratification, but you will have a more limited selection. You might get a discount at an online store and the selection will be bigger. These days there are plenty of options with a spit.
