River Powered Rotisserie BBQ

When it comes to barbecue you could sit and watch your meat for hours making sure the meat is cooked fully through. Or, you could rig up a rotisserie using the power of a river and drink beer all day. Your call.

I barbecued a lot as a kid. In my childhood home in Shreveport, LA we had a huge grill (we called it the fire pit) and a swimming pool. Most of my childhood memories involved grilling and swimming. Because when it's 101 and humid and you're grilling the swimming pool feels that much better.

Anyway, I guess we could have rigged something similar. My favorite thing to do was to make a whirlpool in my swimming pool and float on the current. If I could have harnessed all of that childhood energy into running around the edge of the pool to make the water swirl around and stuck a waterwheel in the pool some how. I would have never have had to leave the water.
