How often does it need to be rotated?

I rotated it about every 1/2 hour

What sort of base did you have it sitting on the grill?

Out of the park, SirPorkaLot!

Great execution, and killer plate.

Side note: How tough was the clean up?

Easy, tossed a fabric softener in hot water and soaked overnight.
Rinsed our clean the next morning

So... you mean like a "dryer sheet" kinda fabric softener?

electron_si · 03-08-2018, 08:34 PM

Yea. Like bounce

That looks amazing but 80 bucks is pretty damn steep. Anyone make one cheaper?

Like I mentioned earlier, a 9"x9" cake pan with a rod welded to it would suffice.
I'm thinking less than $10? Maybe less than $5, if you get one from Goodwill.

I saw those on FB and followed their page. The only reasons I didn't go in on it:

1. Price
2. You have to manually rotate it.
3. For it to work like a true Shawarma type cook, you pile a lot of meat on, and trim from the outside as it cooks. Well, the wife and I wouldn't be able to eat all that in a couple sittings, so, while great for a bigger family, not really something I would use often.

Seeing your pics makes me want to rethink it a bit, but I still think it would be something I would use maybe once a year, and if so, not worth the price to me.
