About Us
What began life as two metal sticks has developed into a system that offers outdoor cooking at its best – it’s all about the food!
Auspit inventor Rhett Thompson has spent all of his life hunting and fishing in the Australian outdoors. He’s also spent time in the Australian Army as part of the 5th Independent Rifle Company in northwestern Australia. Rhett has been an active member of the Country Fire Authority in Victoria for over 30 years.

More than eight years ago, Rhett wanted to create a system to make outdoor cooking easy and effective and ridiculously delicous. A further challenge was the concept of being able to cook the largest range of product using the least amount of equipment. Using this vision and his career in engineering, he developed the Auspit.
The Auspit started out as two sticks of metal with a carrier assembly. Over eight years it has undergone more than twelve transformations and modifications to become the outdoor cooking system it is today. After many beers and bourbons around the campfire, the Auspit line-up now includes FireTroughs, Spitmates and multiple Spike combinations for different foods--all fitting into a small carry case giving the ability to cook in almost any location or condition.
For Rhett Thompson, the excitement and challenge of taking Auspit from its original tin-shed design and being able to ultimately expand to the global market is true enjoyment. The simplicity of sitting around a campfire at the end of the day with good food, good friends and good conversation far surpasses and possibly solves any daily problems, monetary loss or gain, or global financial crisis.
Stay tuned the best is yet to come!
