Everything worked flawlessly. I'm very pleased with my build.
The bird is fantastic :drool:
22 lb. Turkey took 3.5 hrs at med high indirect heat and 1 18# bag of kingsford coals.
I ordered the whole pig today for our roast on the 18th.
Sorry if the pics come out flipped :chuckle: Pic 3 is the finished product.

Very nice :tup: Can we see the moving parts.
The major moving part is the gear motor pictured with the spit rod attached to the shaft with a u-joint I made an adapter to connect the spit rod to the u-joint. The other end of the rod sits on a couple rollers so it all spins smoothly. The motor is high torque low rpm, 6 rpm.
Not a cheap build but way better capability than similar designs available commercially and at half or less their prices.

I thought about driving a grid pattern with the windows down. :chuckle:
But I'll actually be busy with out of town friends... Just having a little fun. Mtn. Ghost, I do want to talk sometime about the whole pig. One of these days, I want to do another one.

Any time Carl :tup:
Since we are in the same area maybe we can meet sometime and you can get a hands on look at the rotisserie, who knows :dunno: there may even be something tasty spinning on it :chuckle:
PM me sometime if you like.
I will get some action pics as the roasting progresses next weekend :cue:
