The item needs to be balanced and the weight on the jack sized
accordingly...

hello;

in looking at various illustrations and photographs of a wide range of
spit jacks, i do not see how these develop the necessary power and/or
torque to turn a spit that may have a hundred pound hunch of meat on it.
particularly the ones powered by fans in the chimney.
