Not every camping trip looks the same.

One weekend you might be parked up at a caravan park with the van, a few beers in the fridge and plenty of people around. Next, you could be miles from anywhere, sitting beside a fire with nothing but bushland around you.

The good news? Your Auspit can work just as well in both.

The difference is really about how you set it up and the conditions around you.

Cooking At A Caravan Park

Caravan parks are all about convenience. You might have access to mains power, shared BBQ areas, limited space and plenty of neighbours nearby.

But the Auspit does not need that power connection.

The battery operated motor means you can set up your Silver Auspit, light a suitable fire and start cooking without needing to run an extension lead or find a power outlet.

The compact stainless steel setup is also easy to pack away when you are finished, which is handy when space around your caravan or campsite is limited.

At a caravan park, you will also want to be more conscious of your surroundings. Keep your cooking area controlled, consider smoke and heat, and always follow the park's rules around fires and outdoor cooking.

Taking Your Auspit Bush Camping

This is where the Auspit really comes into its own.

When you head bush, you can leave the power behind completely. The battery operated motor means you can take your spit roast setup as far off grid as your trip allows.

Set up your Auspit over a suitable, controlled fire area and you can cook everything from a whole chicken or lamb roast to smaller meals and vegetables.

The key is making sure your fire is properly contained and maintained. Where a ground fire is permitted, create a designated fire area that is kept controlled throughout your cook.

If a ground fire is not suitable or permitted, the Auspit Fire Tray provides a contained option for cooking with charcoal or wood.

The Best Part? The Food

Whether you are parked beside the caravan or sitting deep in the bush, the reason for bringing an Auspit is the same.

You get to slow things down.

Load up a roast, get the fire going and let the battery powered motor turn the food while you sit back and enjoy the people you are camping with.

With the Silver Auspit, you can cook over charcoal or wood without needing mains power, making it just as useful for a relaxed caravan weekend as it is for a remote bush adventure.

And when you add accessories, you can take your camp cooking even further with vegetables, gyros, steaks and plenty more.

Caravan Park Or Bush Camp?

You don’t really need to choose.

The beauty of a portable camping spit is that you can take the same cooking setup wherever the trip takes you.

At the caravan park, it gives you an easy way to cook without relying on shared BBQs or power.

In the bush, it gives you the freedom to cook properly without being tied to electricity.

Just choose your fire setup carefully, follow local fire rules and let the Auspit do the turning.

Because whether you are surrounded by caravans or sitting under the gum trees, good food around a fire always feels like camping.
