The Joy of Campfire Rotisserie – Why Nothing Beats Cooking with Auspit

Author: Caleb Barker  Date Posted:12 August 2025 

There’s something undeniably magical about cooking over an open fire. The crackling of the wood, the smell of smoke drifting through the trees, and the gentle spin of a roast over hot coals it’s primal, nostalgic, and deeply satisfying.

At the heart of this authentic outdoor experience is the Auspit, Australia’s leading portable campfire rotisserie system. Whether you’re feeding a few mates on a weekend bush trip or preparing a slow cooked roast for a special occasion off-grid, Auspit brings the joy back to camp cooking.

Why Rotisserie Cooking Just Hits Different

Unlike pan frying or boiling, rotisserie cooking offers a hands off, low and slow approach that delivers incredible flavour and texture. The slow rotation bastes the meat in its own juices, producing succulent, evenly cooked results with a crispy outer crust and juicy interior.

Add the aroma of wood smoke or charcoal, and you’ve got a meal that’s not just food it’s an experience.


Built for the Bush

Auspit isn’t just another camp gadget, it’s been designed by campers, for campers. Everything about it is made for simplicity, reliability, and performance out in the wild.

Key Features:

  • Battery-powered motor: Runs for hours on 2 D size batteries. No mains power? No worries.
  • No tools required: The entire system clicks together with ease.
  • Fully portable: Lightweight aluminium and stainless steel construction, made for 4WDers and off-road campers.
  • Rugged and reliable: Withstands heat, dust, and the demands of the Aussie outdoors.

What Can You Cook on an Auspit?

Pretty much anything you’d put on a spit at home, you can do out bush with Auspit:

  • Whole chickens basted golden brown
  • Lamb legs slow roasted to tender perfection
  • Pork belly with crispy crackling
  • Beef roasts, sausages, or even stuffed capsicums in the swing away basket
  • Corn on the cob, skewered prawns, or kebabs

You can even cook dessert by trying grilled peaches or apples with cinnamon and sugar over the coals for something extra special.
