I know its not as cool as digging a pit in the ground and cooking a whole pig......but this seemed better for smaller cooking projects.
The good:
Compact for storage
light weight (only 11 lbs)
Requires only 2 D cell batteries (50 hours of use)
Will hold up to 18 pounds of MEAT!
The downs:
A little pricy at $149 for the base model
Not made in the good ol' USA
Only holds 18 lbs of MEAT. (ha ha)
Anyway, check it out at AuspitBBQ

I wonder if that's big enough to do a lamb...

Might be ideal for a Marmot. Never tried one but the ground hogs in our garden have been pretty tasty.

The folks that run Cowboy Flavor used to have a cooking show which I attended a few times.

Marmot stink a little when you cook em, but don't taste half bad........
Hard to tell from the photos...but the "cowboy" unit appears to have a thinner/lighter-gauge spit and yet claims to hold more weight than the "aussie" unit, and 1/3 the cost of the aussie.
Ya, that is a little confusing. Different metal? Good question to ask Jon Sattler (North American Distributor). Maybe we can get him in on this conversation.
Or try him at info@auspitbbq.com
I would probably opt for the cowboy unit myself.

Isn't a lamb gonna weigh more than 18 lbs? I don't really know. I was thinking that we might try to get one of these and bring it when we meet all of you for the first time out there. We can test a bunch of different meat.

The Cowboy spit is supported on both ends.
I wonder if the Auspit rotates "backwards" since it's from the southern hemisphere?
I don't know either...We need Chef Marc@XP to weigh-in on that question.Isn't a lamb gonna weigh more than 18 lbs? I don't really know.

The Auspit is only supported on one end (I wonder why they went with that design?), so that requires burly construction and yet is limited to 18-lb capacity.

yes, probably it is more than 18 lbs.
I prefer my spit i used for the pig. Simple and easy to use. The only fuel needed is BEER!!! for the operator(s)
