Woodfired vertical rotisserie

admin

Just had some spare time and made me a vertical rotisserie for my catering company.It's a little redneck but it works!Just found some barrels...Chris is grinding...Welded the coalbasket and the spit.The motor mounted underneathAnd the finished project!
Reply:so the spit is set in a verticle axis versus a horizontal axis? No, I must be seeing it wrong.  I see the coal basket but you said the motor was mounted "underneath", which is now the side, right?Lincoln SA 200Esab Caddy 160Thermal Arc 201TSMiller Dialarc HFI don't like making plans for the day because then the word "premeditated" gets thrown around the courtroom....

Reply:well, that looks pretty cool.  I'd like to see it in action.....at my house Looks like the perfect size tamk for making your rotisserie.Is it a pain to fire it up/load the coals?Lincoln SA 200Esab Caddy 160Thermal Arc 201TSMiller Dialarc HFI don't like making plans for the day because then the word "premeditated" gets thrown around the courtroom....
Reply:What a weld!  I hope it will serve you well.
Reply:It's painted with heat resistant paint.At the moment it's quite hard to load the coals, i'll make a door in the top to make it easier...
Reply:Ummm...how do you get even heat on the meat?  Is there something I am missing?  If you just stacked wood/coals in the bottom the bottom of the meat would get done super fast and the top would never get done.  Am I missing something?I love the idea--like a gyro rotisserie (which is usually gas)--as a fellow chef, I can see the cool factor in presenting food this way, and your build looks great, just not sure I am seeing your vision for this thing...Kev.Kevin / Machine_Punk from The Aerodrome Studio - Lincoln PowerMIG 210 MP - Meco N Midget w/custom welding station - Vintage Victor 100Current Projects: The Aerodrome Studio

Reply:makes sense the coals are suspended behind the mesh and the drum is vertical with the spit motor being on the bottom it didn't make sense to me at first either  when i saw the mesh i assume coals went on top of the mesh not trapped behind itMiller Xmt 350Lincoln Ln-25Ahp 200xSmith Gas Mixer AR/HTig is my Kung FuThrowing down dimes and weaving aboutInstagram http://instagram.com/[email protected]
Reply:Nice idea!  Looks like one of those Greek Gyros cookers!  What did you use for the motor?  I am wondering if it can be adapted to use driving a positioner?- MondoMember, AWSLincoln ProMIG 140Lincoln AC TombstoneCraftsman Lathe 12 x 24 c1935Atlas MFC Horizontal MillCraftsman Commercial Lathe 12 x 36 c1970- - - I'll just keep on keepin' on.
