<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 313687, member: 360&quot;]2.5 feet sounds quite high, but remember that the fire itself was likely raised off the ground on a grate (to give air-flow, etc), so once you&#039;d loaded the meat on (which would be maybe 18-24 inches off the ground, once mounted?), the meat and flames would be at roughly the same level. Then all you had to do was sit down, turn the spit, and find someone else in the kitchen to chat to, for three or four hours...</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s another set of fire-dogs, spit-dogs, spit-jacks etc...</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.britishmuseum.org/collectionimages/AN00288/AN00288093_001_l.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>According to the article they came from, these are about 3ft high. The roasting spit went across the top, so as you can see, they could be quite big!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
