Hi Great job on the Al Pastor and the home made Trompo. I'd would like to make a Trompo. Can you give me more info on how you made it?
Thanks Dan.
Thanks Dan.
Possible change of plans on the cooking front.
I decided to browse through Lowes before the grocery this morning, and came up with a crazy notion to build my own Trompo King (instead of paying $60).
Feedback and thoughts always welcome.
Grabbed a "skillet" for the grill (with detachable handle) and added a threaded carriage bolt with a grommet attachment and wing nut to hold everything together.
Ran everything through a bath of hot soapy water. Threaded the bolt through the center-most hole in the skillet pan thing, and covered it in foil to catch the juices/drippings.
It was about $17 to build, and if I need to go taller, I just go grab a connecting nut and another carriage bolt, and continue upwards.
Fingers crossed.

somebody shut me the fark up.
Here's my parts list from Lowes. After that, I just went to "MSU."

Be sure to wash everything in hot, soapy water before you think about putting food on it. I threaded the wing nut upside-down from the top (so the wings apply pressure to the skillet and hold the threaded rod steady). Also, I needed to use a small paring knife to occasionally cut a slit in the meat where I was trying to slide down the "spike."
Have fun! I'm sure it'll work out great.

Hi Thanks for the info.. Why the tee nut? Can it be any 1/4 nut?

Dan,
I wanted something that'd generally be flat on the bottom.... but I'm no engineer.
