This was fun to build and all of Golly's and my resources were pulled in to achieve
The Workshop

You have all seen the ring so I'll start with the mounting brackets for the shaft and the motor . The shaft sits on the bearings instead of on the slots in the ring. Makes for some smooth roti action.

The motor, the most expensive part..... So far! Fully encased with SS and ready to turn
It weighs about 8lbs and can turn up to 90lbs.... Over kill... Yeah but we believe do it once do it right
Once the motor was mounted we noticed the weight started to lift the ring slightly so we made another mod, also the motor is attached to the bracket by bolts and wing nuts for easy removal

Now the shaft and forks, its 1 inch SS rod with 4 prongs, we should be able to get 4 decent cuts of meat on it

We used sockets to connect the shaft to the motor

The cooking set up
We cut some expanded to size for general grilling

And made up some baskets out of an old kettle,expanded and some SS
Not the prettiest but it will do the job
Each basket holds over 2 chimneys worth of charcoal

All that's left now is to try it out, 30lb pig has been ordered and as long as the total fire ban which has been running for a fortnight is lifted, we'll be cooking on it next Friday night
