Auspit Spitmate Junior Vs Medium: Which Size Is Right For You?
Author: Rhiannon Peterson Date Posted:15 May 2024

The Auspit Spitmate is a rotating cooking basket that makes it easy to cook smaller foods over fire. Load it with vegetables, potatoes, chicken wings, diced lamb, seafood, or even popcorn, then let the Auspit motor keep everything tumbling for even cooking.
It is available in two sizes, Junior and Medium, so you can choose the capacity that suits how you cook.
What Is The Auspit Spitmate?
The Spitmate slides onto your Auspit skewer and locks into position using a thumb screw. Once the motor starts, the basket rotates continuously so the food cooks and colours evenly without constant stirring.
It is especially useful for ingredients that are difficult to secure on a skewer or would fall through a standard grill.
Spitmate Junior
The Spitmate Junior is the compact option.
It is best suited to:
-
Couples and solo campers
-
Smaller portions of vegetables
-
Snacks and side dishes
-
Compact camping setups
Its smaller size makes it easy to pack while still adding plenty of versatility to your Auspit.
Spitmate Medium
The Spitmate Medium is almost twice the length of the Junior, giving you more room for larger serves.
It is best suited to:
-
Families and groups
-
Chicken wings
-
Larger vegetable batches
-
Marinated chicken or lamb pieces
-
Bigger campsite meals
Junior Or Medium?
Choose the Junior for smaller meals, side dishes, and compact travel.
Choose the Medium when you regularly feed a family or want enough room to cook a larger batch at once.
Both models work in the same simple way. Open the lid, add your food, secure the basket, attach it to the Auspit, and let the motor do the turning.
More Ways To Cook With Your Auspit
The Spitmate Junior and Medium make it easy to move beyond traditional roasts. From crispy potatoes and vegetables to wings, lamb pieces, and popcorn, they give you more ways to create simple meals over fire without constant flipping or stirring.
