My New Rotis Build

[Badgerjacob]

direct cook or offset ? offset would be a bad mofo,

It will have a deflection plate /drip pan that will separate the firebox from the cook chamber. I'm trying to keep the footprint as small as I can.

 

[Mr.OiSat]

Very nice project, i'm looking to see your progress.

I got started on the internals yesterday. I have changed the size of the cooking racks to 16" wide x 48" long. I'm hoping for a capacity of 48 whole chickens. I have the room, I could make a smaller rack above for a little more space.

That's fantastic! I've got a couple fabs in the works, and I sure wish I had your skills!

 

[Garyclaw]

Fantastic!!

Thanks for looking. I'm going to try and update this thread as I progress, but let me warn you, It's going to be a slow process. I'm so busy in my shop at the moment that I will only be working on this build after hours.

We won't care. Heck, a lot of build threads never get done.

A dc controller and motor for speed adjustment FTW!

I see you stamped out the rack holders. I wish I had of done that. I welded each one back in 2007. Racks used to be like maybe 54 inches. Then.... I realized I could not do Turkeys ( it was a six shelf) or clods. So... I cut them in half.... Rotisserie on one side... Shelves on the other... Then... Well now... Shelves and hangers like a pbc.

One thing I learned... Your connections from the shelves to the arms need to be as simple and loose as they can be. I used to have these wonderful ball bearing connections.. Then they bound up one smoke and dumped a load... Which then bound up all the other shelves... The motor ( I don't use but save for a clod or steamship round rotisserie I want to build later) is a Dayton... 11 rpm beast.

Dude, you have the skills... I didn't. My meat mama is one big monument to bad welds. Lol

The one thing I'd advise is... Foot pedal switch. You will thank me if you ever sauce anything... Holding brush in one hand and glaze in other. Lol

We have motion, well know kinda manpower motion.

Can't wait to see it all assembled and giving the passengers their "final ride".

Thanks, never thought of that. Great advice.

Great way to utilize the space. But can this really be called a Rotisserie? My understanding is the meat needs to rotate and baste itself.
