Probably not the gear motor you have said was spendy, but just the light
kind off a backyard rotisserie. With proper support, and minimal
resistance, should do smaller amounts of meat. Going to buy the next
rotisserie I see and build a small one. But it will be enclosed, not open
like the one Ig posted.


Looks like a nice, good motor from a chicken rotisserie. Doubtfully it
will turn a 50 lb pig. I bought this motor on eBay:

It is 1/10 HP and I think that it could turn a 50lb pig at 4 RPM after
reduction. I can make sprockets with CNC, so making a reducer should be
easy.
