Rotisserie Basket Round Cage Tumbler | A Game Changer for Sides and Small Bites

When it comes to open fire cooking with the Auspit, most people think of big roasts, whole chickens or butterflied lamb. But what about wings, veggies or spuds? That’s where the Round Cage Rotisserie Basket Tumbler by Flaming Coals earns its place in your kit. This clever little cage fits perfectly with your Auspit skewer and unlocks a whole new range of fire-cooked meals.

Built for Fire, Built for the Auspit

Made by Flaming Coals, this basket is fully compatible with the 12mm round skewer bar on your Auspit setup. That means no modifications, no extra brackets, just slide it on and go. It also suits 8mm square, 10mm square, and 10mm hex skewers if you're running other compact setups.

Made from high-quality stainless steel, it holds up to long cooking over charcoal or wood fires and is easy to clean and pack away.

Key Specs:

• Total Length: 46cm
• Internal Basket Size: 38cm long x 16.5cm wide x 15cm high
• Material: 304 grade Stainless Steel
• Compatible with 12mm round (Auspit), 8–10mm square, and 10mm hex skewers

What It Does and Why You Need One

The design is simple but effective. The round cage has internal baffles that gently tumble food as it spins, giving you even heat distribution and beautifully consistent results. That makes it perfect for foods that are too small or awkward for skewers, like:

• Chicken wings with a dry rub
• Roasted baby potatoes
• Zucchini, capsicum and onions for fajitas
• Spiced chestnuts (just pierce and fill one third of the basket)
• Crispy halloumi cubes or tofu
• Garlic bread bites

The thumbscrew locking system keeps it securely mounted to your skewer bar, so there’s no rattling or shifting mid-cook.

The Real Benefit? Hands-Free Flavour

Once you load the basket, the Auspit does the rest. The motor turns slowly and evenly, creating that perfect balance of heat and movement that crisps and caramelises without burning. This is a great solution for anyone cooking for a group or juggling multiple dishes at once. You don’t need to flip or stir. You just let the basket rotate while you enjoy the fire.

It also gives you more control over texture. Keep the fire medium for softer veg, or build a hotter coal base for crispy wings and potatoes.

Easy to Clean, Easy to Pack

After the cook, clean-up is straightforward. The stainless steel body rinses clean and nests easily with other gear. It folds flat enough to slot into your camping box or shed without taking up valuable space. Like most Auspit-friendly gear, it is low-fuss and high-function.

Why We Recommend It

We’ve used this basket on the Auspit for everything from stuffed mushrooms to rosemary potatoes, and it has never missed a beat. If you want more variety in your fire cooking but do not want to fuss with extra tools or fiddly cookware, this is a smart upgrade.

It adds serious value to your Auspit setup, especially for midweek cooks, casual camping meals, or when you want a fire-cooked side that spins itself while the main meal is on the grill.
