Spit roast project

admin

Hi, Everyone,Some of you may remember I was about to start this project for my daughters 40th B'day celebration,Well after putting my thinking cap on came up with this design, And it worked perfectly,took nearly seven hours to cook the 50+ kilo organically raised pig.Not a bad result for someone thats only cooked sausage and chips before,Total out lay was about £130-00 everything else was donated by family,friends and enybody that even remotely owed me a favour,Motor and gearbox are heavy duty Parvalux donated by my brother-in-law giving a final drive of 6.5 rpm then further reduced to 2 rpm via a couple of moto-cross sprockets and 520 chain, mirror stainless is cladding from one of my sons road tankers,Free logs from son-in-law's fallen trees, Enjoy.If you have any questions ask away,Best regards Gordon, Attached ImagesLincoln SP-170 MigHypertherm powermax 45Lorch T220 AC/DC TigButters FM 215 synergic MigKemppi 180 adaptive mig RULES ARE FOR THE OBEDIENCE OF FOOLS AND THE  GUIDANCE OF WISE MEN.

Reply:Now That's a cooker. Great job. I can almost taste it.
Reply:Looks pretty good.  Any safety concerns with having a fire on the frontside and leaning on it (as you are in one of the pictures?)  If you did it again, what would you do differently?  I really like how you made the hood - great work.Millermatic 135Syncrowave 250
Reply:Hello Mot krig                    No safety concerns,that's my son in law carving, I'm the bearded one earlier in the pic's, As you can see in some of the photo's the fire boxes are fully demountable,But at this point had been allowed to die right down.My intension was to remove them once the cooking was finished,but neil started serving while I was showering to get rid of 6 hours smoke impregnation,Stainless was nice to work,very soft,don't know what grade and it,s only 0.025" thick.I'm toying with the idea of maybe converting it to use ceramic propane fuelled heaters also, mounted in the hood,Last edited by gordon stephenson; 09-09-2010 at 08:12 PM.Lincoln SP-170 MigHypertherm powermax 45Lorch T220 AC/DC TigButters FM 215 synergic MigKemppi 180 adaptive mig RULES ARE FOR THE OBEDIENCE OF FOOLS AND THE  GUIDANCE OF WISE MEN.
