I build a very different type of rotisserie the other day. I gave myself a goal of spending the least amount possible knowing I’d throw it out. It really worked well, in fact incredibly well.

Materials.......

6 - 2x4’s
4 - 1/2” gas flanges.
2 - 6” x 1/2” gas nipples
4 - round 12” - 16” wood discs in plywood or you can buy these at local box store.
1 - C Clamp or a quick release clamp (best)

Some screws, a saw and a hole saw/spade bit/forstner bit.

I weld on a adjustable roller stool from Northern tool. Most bad welds can somehow be traced to “out of position” welding. So you always want to be comfortable and “in position”. A rotisserie and a adjustable stool allows you to be in the best possible position.

It’s real simple. It’s adjustable up and down. It’s adjustable by rotating and clamping. You can micro adjust it so you can give yourself the best chances of success.
