Well funny you should mention that. I had visions of sitting round a campfire with a fat juicy chicken roasting away on the pot hanger arm (bit with the U shaped hanger on it). Now that I have the kit you find that the arm actually points up into the air at 45 degrees; this is a good thing if you want to hang dutch ovens, large kettles and other heavy bits of camp cookware on it (which it was probably designed for), so any chicken would slide down the pole. I am not saying it can't be done, I will just have to figure out the best way of doing it. I figured that if you put the pot holder arm on the opposite way to normal, with the U shaped pot holder at the back, then you could use the U shaped bit as a handle to turn the pole with, so the roasting meat is also turned (if you see what I mean). It's probably just a question of leaning the 'stand' rod back at 45 degrees so that the pot holder arm is horizontal. A pair of spit roast meat holder things would then be all you need to keep the meat from moving along or twisting on the bar as it was turned. This will need work work I can see... Good bit of kit though.
I am thinking that a half height (15" instaed of 30") upright would be usefull to have as well, as it would let me have the eye loop bit nearer to ground level which would let me have the pot holder arm coming up & over the back of the fire. Dont know if I have explained that right but I know what I want & will PM launditch1 about this. That would be a more usefull travelling set for me & would fit in my pack better.
