    Default Fire roasted chicken.. I hope.

    I will let you know how this works out.. I wanted to roast a few chickens over the fire but I dont own a spit and no time to make one. I do have steel rebar though and a good steel barrel as well as fire..

    The tub lets me run my campfire abit as I want by diffusing the heat and there rebar lets me turn the chicken. I can also add water to prevent a grease fire.

    The other benefit of the tub is I can pitch in cherry or any wood to smoke flavor it... and before I am done I can shovel in hot coals to crisp it up and cook foil wrapped potatoes.

    I am a bit apprehensive as I have a roll of stainless steel wire but cant find it so I had to use cotton twine to wrap the chicken.

    Pat it worked pretty good. I got side tracked and had a small flare up that toasted one bird. The main glitch was what I feared .. the twine burned. And that made it hard to rotate. If I had that wire it would have been perfect.

    I did end up having to modify the technique because of the problem turning. It just got too hard.. so I jacked up the grill and threw the whole birds and rebar on it finish up .
