Rod over an open flame (4)

I believe the answer is:

spit

(Other definitions for spit that I've seen before include "Eject from mouth" , "Rod used for roasting meat" , "a foot of earth" , "Narrow point of land, utter hostilely" , "Rain in scattered drops" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
