Abstract
Abstract A vertical rotisserie is provided which consists of an electric barbecue arrangement having an arcuate heating element in the general focus of which a rotatable spit is mounted. The axis is vertical so as to protect the heating element from drippings which instead are collected in a drip pan under the end of the spit.
