How To Create A Camp Kitchen With Just 3 Pieces Of Auspit Gear

You do not need a full trailer or caravan kitchen to eat well on your next camping trip. With the right gear and a bit of smart planning, you can cook just about anything over fire with one simple setup. This summer, whether you are heading bush, beachside, or setting up at a powered site, here is how to build a lightweight, versatile camp kitchen around just three key pieces of Auspit gear.

It is portable, compact, and best of all, it still delivers serious flavour.

The Only Three Tools You Need

Let’s start with the heroes of your camp cook-up. These three items unlock the full Auspit experience without taking up your whole boot or campsite.

1. The Auspit Original or Stainless Steel Kit

This is the heart of your setup. The Auspit lets you spit roast chicken, lamb, pork, fish, or even vegetables over coals with a smooth, motorised rotation. It is fully portable, lightweight, and designed to break down and pack easily into a small tube or gear bag.

Whether you are cooking for two or ten, the Auspit makes fire cooking simple and reliable, no matter where you are.

2. The Auspit Portable Camping Stand

When you are camping, you cannot always drive a post into the ground. Compact sites, solid firepits, or concrete slabs can make that difficult. The Portable Stand gives you a strong, self-supporting frame to mount your Auspit anywhere.

It has adjustable feet for uneven ground, folds flat for easy storage, and fits all Auspit posts up to 20 millimetres round. It is the one piece of gear that truly gives you the freedom to cook wherever the fire is.

3. The Auspit Folding Grill

For those meals where you are not using the spit, the folding grill gives you a flat surface to cook on. It sits over your fire or charcoal tray and is perfect for:​​​​

• Bacon and eggs (need a pan for the eggs)
• Sausages, kebabs, or toasties
• Grilled vegetables and foil packs

It folds down flat and slides into any kit, giving you the option to cook more without adding weight or bulk.

What Can You Cook With This Setup?

Plenty. In fact, these three items can cover your meals for an entire trip. Here is how a day might look:

• Breakfast: Eggs (need a pan) and bacon on the Folding Grill, plus grilled damper or toast
• Lunch: Leftover spit-roasted meat in wraps or sandwiches, toasted on the grill
• Dinner: Full spit roast of lamb or chicken over coals while you relax and enjoy the fire

You can even use the basket cage to cook smaller items like fish fillets, mushrooms, or stuffed capsicums. The key is to think in layers, use the spit for your main, the grill for sides, and the stand to make it all possible, no matter what surface you are cooking on.

How To Pack It Smart

One of the biggest wins with this setup is how compact it really is.

• The Auspit kit breaks down into a small bag or tube
• The stand folds flat and fits under a seat or in a ute tray
• The grill folds neatly and can be stored in a soft bag or crate

You can easily fit all three pieces into a single camp tub or gear box. That leaves more room for your esky, chairs, and cold drinks which is exactly how it should be.

Tips For A Smooth Camp Cook-Up

• Marinate at home and freeze cuts of meat before the trip
• Use foil trays to reduce clean-up after meals
• Keep a heat-safe surface nearby for resting hot gear
• Cook breakfast on the grill while prepping your spit roast for later in the day
• Bring a fire starter kit to make setup easier if campfire rules are in place
   

Less Gear, More Freedom

The Auspit is built for people who want to enjoy the outdoors without overcomplicating things. When you combine the Basic Kit, the Portable Stand, and the Folding Grill, you unlock a huge range of cooking options in a tiny footprint.

This is not just a space saver. It is a smarter, more enjoyable way to cook when you are camping. You spend less time setting up and more time around the fire, soaking in the view and sharing meals that actually mean something.

So if you are building your camp kitchen for the summer holidays, keep it simple. These three pieces of gear can really transform your trip to become one you will never forget.
