Portable vertical rotisserie

Fuente: WIPO "tomato"
A portable rotisserie device is provided for spinning a food item (e.g. meat, vegetables, etc.) and uniformly exposing the sides of the food to a remote heat source. The rotisserie includes a heat resistant base assembly that is positionable alongside or inside various types of remote heat sources, including campfires, wood-fired ovens, and the like. A rotatable platform is supported at the base and a motor rotates the platform relative to the base. A food support, in the form of a catch pan and spit or skewer, is supported by the platform such that the food support spins about an upright axis to uniformly expose the food to the heat source. The food support is readily removable from the platform to remove the food without moving the entire rotisserie. Optionally, the skewer is readily removable from the catch pan and the entire rotisserie is disassemblable for space efficient storage and transport.
