@Little - The temperatures at the motor are half of what the motor is rated for. So no problems at all.

What do you use to turn the spit? Th8s looks interesting enough i want to try having something like this built too. I miss my halifax donairs. Nobody knows how to make those bad boys but the blunosers

since your welding tool was licensed by NASCAR your rig is only allowed to rotate counterclockwise

@Iododendron - That's funny... Not sure how you could come to the conclusion that I didn't wear eye protection, since you never see my face while I'm using the drill / grinder. You may have noticed that while wearing the welding mask I was also wearing hearing protection. So yes I was wearing safety glasses, at the appropriate times.

I of course noticed the welding mask but since we don't see your face whilst drilling/grinding and only see you with your regular glasses, I assumed you didn't wear safety goggles. Glad you've protected your eyes.

Good solutions from a cook and construction worker in the Smokey Mountains.

I am a Welder. I need pictures of those welds. LOL Good job. It will be fine.

I really appreciate you showing the proof of concept and mistakes! Really neat idea.

I’m getting some serious “This Old House” vibes in this one. Can’t wait to see what you do with this set up!

Manly man level 8, gets the job done

I'm wondering if you may want to consider grabbing the Vent cover off of a weber lid, and fabing something for the bottom so you can a) give a vent for smoke, and b) control air flow in the back half of the box? Also a Catch pan to funnel drippings out so you don't have to worry about flare ups.

I am a professional welder and I think you did a great job on the way that thing looks little chip on anytime you want to screw the doors onto something if you can mark your cut out and make slits where your hinges go and weld them before you cut the grass it makes it easy to put together

To quote another KZreadr, that's some excellent fabricobbling. You might want to make a small chimney at the back to allow for smoke venting and also provide some heat shielding for the spit motor.

Barry Lewis: I bought this vertical rotisserie for £10 from eBay. Glen: hold my homebrew.

I've been excited about this video for a while and now I get to be excited for a while longer. Let's get cooking!

"Halifax donair" sounded interesting, found Matty's video. The way he talks about the sauce makes me want to make it.

A gas version of this would be slick. Maybe a small charcoal box at the bottom for a bit of smoke from the drippings?

Yay! Glen you are spoiling us with all this content recently, make sure you keep some stuff for a backlog. Also, if you can, small turkey (or just a turkey breast) or a chicken roasted in it would be a nice video sometime between the 17th and the 23rd of November (American Thanksgiving is November 28th this year, as a proof of concept of cooking a bird on it might inspire someone that watches and has the skill/resources to try and make their own roasted bird (or at least make a standard spit to roast it on over a fire pit in the backyard).

Yes!!! I was so hoping that we’d get to see a cook. Can’t wait for that.

YES!!! I'm definitely going to be following this! Nice job!

Very cool to see a build on a cooking channel 👍

one of the best topics for the channel yet. building AND cooking! SUBSCRIBED.

I vote we get bush stories with Glen

OH BOY....GIRO'S!!!!

That looks absolutely phenomenal!

Good job! Jon

I would use an abrasive cutoff wheel , “Zipcut”, not a diamond wheel for cutting stainless. Face shield , leather gloves and long sleeves for personal protection as well. As mentioned before, cut away from oneself in case something went wrong you would be less likely to get hurt. When drill stainless it’s best to use just water as a lubricant and not drill to fast. Slow and steady pressure will ensure that the bit doesn’t get hot enough to lose its cutting edge.

I thought that when I saw it about drilling slowly. Drill metal slowly. I made this mistake when drilling recently in my home. Cheers for the video though Glen!

Very Very cool, I think this is going to work just fine. 😎 looking forward to the next video.👍🏼👍🏼

GUESSING IS GREAT FUN: I imagine you will want to make the coal baskets more shallow to provide more room for product to rotate. Car guys use a product called Dynamat to insulate areas from heat, noise and vibration: a wrap of that around the solid part of the keg (and its top) might make the most of the heat produced and it might be especially useful in extending the season for your Canadian Cooker. PLUS: the electric motor might benefit from Dynamat heat shielding. (or from whatever more flexible insulating mat might be available.) I'd like to encourage you to continue with wood lump charcoal so as to avoid any combustion products from briquette binders coating the food product. I eagerly await developments!

Can’t wait! Great work!!!!

Great stuff!!!

Wow good job Glen! Keep up the amazing work!

This is so cool.

Absolutely brilliant!

Good video I need two, one for al pastor, other one full of beer

That's the spirit. 👍👍

Hey Glen, I just wanted to say what you're doing on this channel is all really cool. Keep it up and thanks for sharing, it's inspiring me to want to try more things in my life too!

Great efforts mate! Looks like a winner! Can't wait to see the conclusion!

Man, you're just full of ideas. I love your videos.

You are indeed a man of many talents.

Cool!👌

You got a great idea and had the skills to put that thing together and make it work - nothing can be better!

Helz yeah! Nice change of pace!

There might be a bunch of nitpicking, but honestly for a prototype, it's pretty amazing. My only worry was the motor/electrical cable up top which you seem to have solved with a light stand or something like that.

Well done! Impressed with your creativity. In an apocalyptic storm, you are someone we need to know.

Haha! You always amaze me with your varied talents - not just another pretty face in the kitchen!😁 Your project builds over the years really add or supersize a new dimension to the show and MORE, to the whole concept of making it your own!!😎👍👍 thank you so much!!!🙏🙏🍻💣💥

Greetings from the bush (Alaska). Genius idea using the "slow N sear" style baskets. Keep up the good work.

It's okay Glen. I too, often get overzealous when planning out diy projects. Happen to the best of us.

Great video you have given me motivation too build my own!!

You could make your charcoal holders removable if you attached them to the keg with a type of french cleat.

Great video. I appreciate that you shared your building of the rotisserie with us aside from your amazing skills as a chef and videographer.

I just saw this video the other week and decided to build one on Friday. It worked great for Tacos Al Pastor, I think we're going to make chicken schwarma soon. Super happy with how it came out. And people on my Facebook feed were all about making one of their own, so don't be surprised if every small Brewery in Illinois ends up posting this. haha. I did tag the video in my posts to make sure you get credit (I'm not that clever). Cheers and thank you!

Hell yeah man!

Wow so you gone for it, I thought you were joking when you said about making one of these, love you how you chased it and came with a outstanding result.

Now, I think I need to build one of these.

I can't wait for the Taco episode!

That is an awsome build I love Doner..... I am gonna build one Thank You

Looks great. I agree with the other comments - some sort of heat shield for the motor. Obvioulsy you will be taking temperature readings - if it is as hot as you said it is, perhaps you only need two charcoal trays in there.

Wear gloves when you grind and sleeves when you weld. Safety glasses always. Also, grind away from you and not towards you. Great project though and looking forward to the finish project. Would be a great project for my apprentices.

love the tshirt.

you had at me beer keg 😁 lol

You're the man

Thanks great sharing

I would suggest offsetting the electric motor and maybe using a bicycle chain to drive the rotisserie to prevent the heat from the fire damaging the electric motor and power cord depending on how hot it gets at the top of the keg.

@@jdecar1 Yeah, that would be a better place to put the motor as heat rises all you have to watch out for is fluids getting on the electric motor so I would still use a bicycle chain to offset the motor away from the hole in the keg to drive the rotisserie.

I've cooked on this a few times now - the temperature at and around the motor never reaches half of what the motor is rated for. Everything is fine.

Cant wait to see you make tacos al pastor since I'm mexican.

The best part of the project is draining the keg

OH man if you are gonna make your own tacos al pastor, I'd be soooo happy!

thanks i will be making one of these but i am going to use an old milk can. thanks great info.

I'd say that's pretty ingenious

So, I’m new to this channel (about a week, though apparently I’ve seen some older videos in the past(. And not to bring up your competition, I going to give you the compliment that is left on Emmymadeinjapan EVERY video of hers: I am strangely calmed by watching your videos. Now my compliment gets personal-ish, as I’ve lived my entire life bordering Canada from Maine, NY, to WI, to MN, MT & AK (and frequently enough ON the boarder), I find your Toronto accent to be very soothing. This plus being a Historian who loves to cook and bake makes your content irresistible. Hey man, I don’t weld either, but I just asked my husband about the old keg found in the barn. Who doesn’t like tacos el pastor?

I know you're Canadian but stop apologizing for your work on this project. That rig looks perfect Its even better because you made it by yourself and can fine tune it as you go. Great job!

Would having the motor above the keg like that be rather heat intensive?

@ChristopherHindefjord

4 жыл бұрын

I thought about that too, but I don't think it will be a problem: 1. It's mounted on the opposite side to fire (probably pretty warm there still, but it's not right above the heat source). 2. The bracket holds it about 10-15cm above the keg itself = nice airflow around it and it wont "trap the heat" 3. The bracket itself has probably pretty poor heat transfer. 4. It's a Rotisserie motor, its designed to operate in similar environments

Funny, that was the one thing that occurred to me watching this as well. I think even a piece of flashing cut to fit between the top of the keg and the motor should help to prevent radiated (and probably convective) heat from barbequing the motor. I think it will make some fantastic eats either way! Glen, thanks for a dash of mechanical homebrew with our culinary learning!

A quick google search of charcoal schwarma grills led me to a great horizontal rotisserie version you might want to get some inspiration for building final version

Great first attempt . My first try would be what we call in the UK doner meat. Love your channel by the way

you could make the charcoal baskets removable. this will aid the filling/emtying process attach the trays to the back of the keg with flat tab hooks cut from the keg itself, with matching slits on the trays

well that will be a very very cool cooker, stay classy

really cool idea. might try some insulation or heat deflector to protect the plastic parts and motor on top. and/or make a chimney

thats bad ass

Glen & Friends Cooking Thank you!

I think it would be better to fix tabs inside to hook the fire boxes onto. That way the fire boxes can be removed Easley for refilling and cleaning.

Looks good to me! I've worked in the oil well pipe fields here in Houston, believe me when I say that cooker is made far better than anything I've seen from these fields. Oh yeah, a good hot fire is always the assumptive model when it comes to cleaning the crap off of it, or in it. I do see the need for a thermometer though, but I'm sure you've thought of that.

The one thing that might make your life a ton easier is to mount the fire baskets to a center pillar instead of to the back wall. That way they can rotate out for filling and cleaning, and then rotate back for cooking.

Maybe make some access doors on the other side so it will be easier to add fuel to your coal trays

Very interesting, we have lots of wind here so it's a neat trick for wind proofing, also I hope we see you brew something, and is there a good beer without hops that is not a root beer? I'm trying with wormwood and stuff

Great work! Any issues with the heat and the motor on top?

Thats gonna be awfully hot.

Looking farward for all the recipes you can make with that; as a suggestion I would make sure that the electric motor doesen't get too much heat since it seems mostly built out of plastic, an alternative (althought less handy) could be mounting it on the underside or drive the shaft with a chain and move the motor more on the side

I need more Glenn in the bush story time videos!!!

Great video, have you made any mods to the original design now you've done a few cooks? P.S. How's that had in the basement coming along?

You may want to consider some thermal insulation between the steel top and the rotisserie motor and electrical cord because I imagine the top of the keg would get extremely hot. But other than that, great video. Look forward to seeing the final product.
