It is not a spit single rod set up. There are two rods that skewer the chicken or other meat to keep it from floppinf around. Most BBQ spits that only have one rod have a piece that attaches to both sides of the spit that has from two to four pointed tines that stabeliz and keep it from floppin' around.

That looks like the single drive rod with skewers on both ends which is what I used but as the bird shriveled it began to flop around especially the turkeys. I would have to stop the process and retighten the rear skewer and that allowed the bird to cool and slow the process.
