I am getting ready to build a new Rotisserie cooker out of a old fuel tank and am needing pictures of a 4 or 6 tray style Rotisserie. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Here's a few pics of my Kingfisher 6 tray rotisserie. If you need more pics, let me know specifically what you need an I can take some more.

Why does the word "goofball" keep creeping into my brain when I read your posts?? Confused

Wow a 25 hp motor. That must have been a big wed eater.

The idea of having to listen to a weedeater vs an electric motor and a small generator at the end of a cord?? Or just plugging it up to the house.

RandyE - It's gas silly. No plugs, you can take it to the park.

That was my point. I wouldn't want to listen to it all that time. Plus those little air cooled engines can't take it that long without locking up.

I had a rotiss, and a electric motor is the only way to go.

Maybe you could just set up by a mountain stream and use a water wheel.

Then all you would have is the sound of a babbling brook.

Lots of babbling.

Thanks for the pics....but I am needing pics of the working parts of the rotisserie from the inside. Some showing the the sides of the trays and what keeps them from tilting. If I can get a visual I should be able to make my own.

Also, how in the heck do you post pics on here without using photobucket. I am wanting to post some pics of our other cooker we made, but I can't figure out how to.

Thank you and I appreciate your help.

The rack hangers have plastic (Teflon I think) inserts inside of the top of the "A" frame. there is nothing that prevents tipping, you have to balance each rack as you load.

Hope this helps Wink
