The tripod stand is designed to let the spit be placed at different angles to accomodate different size food loads. The universal design of the spit nut lets the spit rotate without having to be aligned with the drive shaft. Replacement tripod stands are the same for both SpitJack models.
The stand is 14" tall and the notches are 1 1/2" apart.
The heights of the bottom of the notches from the base are (approx.) 6.25", 7.5", 9", 10.5", 11.75"
