Standing Rib Roasts should always be loaded with the bones on the left side opposite
from the small turning gear on the right side and the heavier meat on the right side.
Also put the Spit Rods through meat between the bones.
When loading a rib roast start through
the fat, meaty end and move the Spit
Rods between (or on top of) the bones.
Keep the meat evenly distributed on the
Spit Rods. It may take a couple of tries
to not run into a bone.
If any food scrapes or hangs up, stop immediately. Trim with scissors and reload the
Spit Rods so that nothing touches the top, bottom, sides or Heating Element.
