I'm hoping to get my hands on a Microwave turntable motor very soon, and I'd like to adapt it for the BBQ.
The BBQ is brick built with a set height for the 'charcoal burner' shelf. The cooking shelf can be set at different heights.
So I'm looking for a similar arrangement for the spit rotisserie.
I have a 240 V socket alongside the BBQ, so it's just the height adjustable mechanism I need ideas on. i suspect I have or can easily get hold of the actual spit.
I'd like to cut a slot in the brickwork on the motor side so that the motor is away from the heat. I can do this relatively easy with a cutting disc on a 9" grinder.
Whether the motor is solidly mounted and some arrangement is available for the adjustment of the drive, or whether the motor is adjustable with the height of the shelf, I don't mind.
I'm thinking of a metal strip mounted vertically, with vee notches to accept the spit, on each side of the BBQ.
I've no idea how I'm going to connect the motor to the spit.
So if anyone has already done something like this, I'd be grateful for ideas and comments.
