Here is an innovative new product, from JnB Enterprises, that incorporates a motorized rotisserie grill for cooking over an open campfire. The Automatic Chef™ uses two D-size batteries, which provide 15-hours of operation, to slowly rotate a 22-inch diameter stainless steel grate. The whole thing packs-up into its own 19-inch by 25-inch carrying case, for safe storage and easy transportation.
There is nothing better than cooking over an open fire, and the Automatic Chef looks like a great way to free you up from constantly having to turn the food, in order to control the temperature. The height of the grate is adjustable via a stainless steel cable, and the arm extends from 22 to 30-inches to accommodate various fire-pit sizes. The entire assembly swivels on its ground stake, so you can rotate the grate away from the fire when adding or removing food – a nice feature.
An adjustable rotisserie grill for campfire cooking; Hop Sing never had it so good!

Carry case and a motor to keep your food cooking evenly.That thing takes care of two of the biggest pains in outdoor camping (place to store your dirty grill and evnly cooked food).AWESOME IDEA!

I think it sounds like a pretty cool product…especially the storage case.
Jim
Same question. Who flips? Sorry but this isn’t a very good idea.

Hmm. If you put little wing-like things radiating off the grill, the thermal rise from the fire would rotate the grill, wouldn’t it? I mean you remember those little tin merry-go-round ponies that had a candle flame to turn the blades of a fan? Seems to me there’s something similar in one of Bradford Angiers’ books…or maybe that “Roughing It Easy” book.
Batteries are OK, but if we can use otherwise wasted energy…

Hi Joe!
You still need to flip your food, however, the rotating mechanism allows food to cook evenly without “hot spots.” Therefore, less time spent tending your food at the grill.
Another awesome feature of our grill is that it can be swiveled safely and easily to the side away from the fire for easy access.
Thank you for your inquiry!

Wouldn’t you still have to flip the food over?
