These things start so simply then...
Lets have a suckling pig for Xmas Dinner
great idea
Oven too small
Much better cooked on a spit over a fire pit or large bbq apparently
Googled spit roast some interesting but completely irrelevant links "relationship advice"
can find hog roast spits which are far too big and cost nearly as much as the suckling pig
Have worked out the stands for the spit so no problem there
So to my question how to make a spit for a suckling pig
Thinking mild steel bar and rod to keep the cost down and it may be a one off use
An American site recommends big jubilee clips 3 to 8 inch to hold the various limbs in place
A couple of U bolts and plates?
not sure as to dimensions of pig apart from about 600 mm long
Size and construction of forked spikey bit still causing some head scratching should i try to design something adjustable?
any general or specific advice really appreciated
