In the 3rd century, the Chinese invented a special kamado oven. In the Middle Ages, the British invented a spit on which they roasted animals. With the help of a simple device and trained dogs, large pieces of meat were fried evenly in a couple of hours. Principle of operation: dogs ran in a special wheel, thereby setting in motion the entire mechanism of the structure.
