Hog/spit roast

[david wood]

good luck with that, oh and if you like other meats i can recommend their venison - see if you can get some from the mar lodge lot

It is the best way to feed people at a party, and possibly the cheapest. I made a spit roast out of my fathers 1936 bicycle and my brothers windscreen wiper motor, One revolution per minute about right, get a pit dug plenty deep enough and light well ahead. You could borrow mine if you werent so far away. A pig is far too long to go over a barbecue, and they take a bit of turning because they get unbalanced when they cook. (balance up with mole grips etc clamped to the shaft)

 

Like this ! really?... a bicycle and a wiper motor ? lol brilliant!

 

Love a good party, have a blast

OOh and Venison .. Yum! although it does make me this when I think of Bambi ...

It's really very simple, as said dig a pit light fire. Two stakes with flutes on top banged into ground either end. Put pole through pig mouth and out other end. Put three pins through pig the other direction and jubilee clip to pole, to stop pig spinning. Place pole/pig on flutes. Fix steering wheel to end of pole and happy turning for next 8-10 hours. This can be mechanized in many different ways. When I do it, I like to pull up a chair, couple of beers, and use as exuse to sit an chill. Just keep turning very slowly. Our kit is slightly more sophisticated than the one described, but only on steering wheel end. Make sure pig is well pinned or it won't turn around.

Cheers guys well after speaking to my butcher mate we have decided to down size to a cut of pork as there's not a huge no of people to feed 30 tops. This way we will not have any waste and it should be doable on a normal charcoal BBQ and a cobbled together rotisserie. Time to find a welder and burn holes in my clothes I think lol

Have seen the homebase one but its not longer enough so will need to make a bracket adaptor to make the length fit. Cheers for all the help folks
