I was really wanting a heat reflector. One of the things I mentioned
in my talk was how much better spit roasting is when done on a
proper hearth that concentrates most of the heat outwards.

The chickens were pretty much freely swung next to the fire
and they need to either be a lot closer or the fire needs to be
hotter. I still don't recommend having the meat directly above
the flames, though.
