Just hang it by the fire and give it a spin now and then. Perfect for a relaxed way to roast a chicken or boneless roast by the fire. It hangs by a string and you wind it up and let it unwind and rewind itself until it slows down. Then you just give it another spin! Also a great way to roast several pieces of meat at once. You can hang them all around the fire! A great way to roast meat for more than one camp or for a large feast.
