The SpitJack is designed to be used in front of an open-flame wood fire. The most popular items cooked with the SpitJack required a constant temperature of 200-250 degrees (F) 6-12 inches in front of the flames. If your fire source can provide this, it should work fine. Most gas fireplaces do not provide this level of heat. Wood burning heaters, fireplace inserts and pellet stoves, while creating high enough temperatures inside the firebox are usually shielded by a glass pane which cuts the direct radiant heat dramatically.
