Hi All,

Bought a new oven and it has a rotisserie. Tried it a couple of times
and the thing works great, -- but -- it is a major pain in the butt
trying to get stuff loaded up on the rod so that it turns evenly.
Especially when one end of a chicken is a giant cavity!

Sooo, I am open to *practical* suggestions for alternative chicken-
holding (and other food, did a great pork loin last night) devices
for mounting on the rod, which is then the basis for the question.

Any inexpensive ways for making square holes? 1/4" x 1/4" to be exact.
Current thinking is to just use a round rod and machine the square on
the drive end. But then how do I stop the "prongs" from rotating
around a round rod. There is a reason they used a square rod. {grin}

You can get 1/4" rods made for rotisserie use in most home improvement
stores, look in the BBQ stuff.

Making the collars is easy. Get some 1/4" ID square tube that will slide
over the rod.
Make up a couple plates that have adjustable prongs and weld those onto
the square tube.
To lock them in place use shaft locks and drill a clearance hole through
one flat of the tube for a longer wing screw.


Or make a cup style basket like
