This one was a rental at a party where I am right now.

Would be great to make one like this.


The motors, this low RPM (5-8) are hard to find actually.

DC motor with a pwm controller should get you in the range.
With variable speed you could experiment with a variety of
different meats, poultry, fish, and veggies. Bodine dc gearhead
motors used to be fairly cheap on ebay. CNC cooker ?

Yes, and no, because you lose on the power. I am glad that Steve B
finds so many low RPM gearmotors. I never found any. I can buy one
from Steve if he wants to part with one. I need 5-15 RPM.

I can make my own custom sprockets now with CNC.

Not sure if it's a gear motor, just the end electric motor from an
outside
grill rotisserie. There's a square socket where the main rod is inserted
that turns the meat. If you're interested, I'll send it to you.


Steve, is that for a chicken sized rotisserie or a pig sized rotisserie?

How much do they weigh?

I would love to get the right sized motor. I looked at every gearmotor
on ebay under $100.

I will take a pic of it and post on flickr. It looks like the chicken size.
Not very big.
