I played with the plates once I got it to a steady cooking temp (270-280), and finally got it to a 5 degrees difference. I'll call that good.
gehajake, post your pics. I'd like to see a DIY whole hog rotisserie.
I guess I missed this response, I will try to dig up some pics of my smoker in action.
To say I did it from scratch is maybe almost misleading, I owned a welding and a machine shop for years with my brother, I had all the tools to work with, including a roll form. press break, sheet metal shears and all.
I have a big heavy old welding table that I got for a deal in the past and absolutely never set it up or used it, its about 5' by 8', six legs, extremely well built, all it needs is the top on it, Id make somebody a pretty good deal on it.
