Hi there - Paul from Chelmsford here. What a great site - only just dicovered it and hoping to improve my knowledge.
Been barbecuing for donkeys years - now use a bespoke model made by my brother-in-law (he's a blacksmith) and a turkish rotissary. Also have a Cactus Jack Chuckwagon that I'm probably going to sell as it doesn't get used.

Welcome to the forum

Hi there Welcome

Indeed welcome, looking forward to your input

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Welcome - pictures of the custom rig required....

Hi Paul
"Turkish rotissary, custom rig built by blacksmith brother"...........tell us more, got any pics? intrigued

Haha - I'll try to dig out or take some pics.

The Turkish Rotissary is really simple - basic oblong shallow charcoal pan with a variable height setting foe the rotissary bar which is driven by a simple electric motor. I bought it on ebay about 5 or 6 years ago and it's great.

My brother-in-law made me an oil drum type babecue with a couple of fixed cooking levels around 18 years ago. That one eventually rusted through and we are on to the mk 2 - essentially the same thing but with two side by side chambers, two shelves in each which gives me 4 cooking/warming areas so it's a bit more controllable. I can just about get a whole sirloin on the main grill and use the secondary chamber for stuff like prawns, satay etc. I can also slow cook on the top shelf.

He's currently building me a mk 3 which will be almost the same but slightly larger.

All my stuff is simple - nothing flash - just been modified over the years as I've gained experience.

Thanks for the interest though!

Cheers

id like to see pictures of those too welcome
