The technique is rather simple, and not unlike a large roast. I did my
first one in a standard kitchen even and found out about shortening of
connective tissues as I had a Roast Suckling Curl. Two can of Munton's
Light Malt Extract and a cracked spine straightened it out . . . long
and humorous story. The keys are to get the outside hot quickly and
cook over low, slow heat. Keep it cold and handled safely all the way
through.
I would put it on a spit over coals, about 18" to 24" over the coals.
Rotate it every 15 minutes if you cannot get a motorized spit. Baste
when turned, or when you think of it. Use a thermometer to assure of
doneness.
