Hi from sunny Chelmsford

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.

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

[Luxman5]

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
