ABSTRACT:
A meat roaster has a horizontal spit basket comprising confronting sets of grate fingers for gripping meat items to be roasted and means for adjusting the separation between the potentially telescoping sets which allows the user to tighten the grip on the shrinking meat during roasting. Roast items in a wide range of sizes can be accommodated by adjusting the grate finger separation. Arms extend from each end of the spit basket to permit hand conveyance and also provide means for support in the roaster. The roaster has a firebox, which is generally rectangular in plan, being open at the top and bottom and having mounting means for rotationally supporting said arms and disposing the spit basket lengthwise along the open top. The firebox provides means for supporting charcoal baskets lengthwise adjacent the open bottom and to the sides of the spit basket. A closable domed lid associates with the firebox to cover the open top. Legs extend downwardly from the firebox below the open bottom to permit entry of air from below and to provide means for making the roaster freestanding on a support surface below. Rising heat is induced to circulate around the spit basket for even heating. An electric motor can be operably associated at either end of the spit basket for rotisserie-style roasting. Alternately, handles may be secured to the arms for manual, rather than motor-driven, rotation of the spit basket.
