ABSTRACT:
A spit assembly for a roasting oven includes an oven housing for receiving food items and retaining heat; a heating element mounted to radiate heat within the housing; a first spit mounting plate; a second spit mounting plate substantially parallel to and spaced apart from the first spit mounting plate; a spit assembly shaft extending through and attached to the first and second mounting plates and rotatably mounted within the housing; a drive mechanism for rotating the spit assembly shaft; in which the first spit mounting plate comprises at least one first spit mounting port spaced radially outward from the spit assembly shaft, the first spit mounting port having a star shape including a substantially circular port middle portion and nine equally spaced apart, elongate port finger portions opening and extending radially from the port middle portion; a spit including a first spit end sized for insertion into the first mounting port and configured in cross-section to include three radial flanges, substantially 120 degrees apart and of substantially equal radial length, the flanges being sized relative to the finger portions such that the spit first end fits into the first mounting port in either of two ways, one way causing the spit to remain rotationally fixed with respect to the assembly and the other way causing the spit to rotate relative to the assembly as the assembly rotates.
