 A BARBECUE FORK
Out here in California we barbecue a good deal of meat. I am enclosing herewith diagrams of a fork and jack that I have found very handy for this purpose. I get an ordinary four-tined pitchfork and have the blacksmith straighten Out the tines. For the handle I have fitted on a plain piece of gas pipe about sixty inches long, so that I can stand well back from the fire. I usually put a ferrule joint in the middle of the handle and also simply slip it on to the fork socket. This makes it take down easily for carrying. I have these joints beaten square so that the fork will not twist when the handle is turned. The jack is made very simply, as shown in the diagram. If one uses about 4-inch rod for the jack it may be slipped into one of the handle joints for carrying. By resting the handle of the fork in the hook of the jack one can turn the meat at his leisure, thus holding the juice in the meat instead of losing it in the fire.
