Rotisserie cooking requires three key components: The spit assembly, a means to turn the spit, and a heat source for cooking.
The Thicker Cut
Thicker cuts of meat can be a challenge to grill so that they have a nice flavorful, crisp outer surface with a juicy tender middle. They are cuts that are too thick to be grilled with just direct heat but are not as thick as a cut that requires a long period of indirect heat, such as a roast.

The USDA recommends 2 or 3 servings of meat, fish, or poultry per day. A serving of any type of cooked meat is equal to 3 ounces and is about the size of a deck of cards.

Pork production today has drastically changed to produce much leaner meat
than what it did 25 years ago. Better breeding and feeding of the hogs

the external fat than they did in the past has resulted in leaner meat.
