Great job Marty!!!
Did you add a piece to the end of the basket?

Yes, so that it wasn't quite so top heavy.

I'll try that on mine. I've got to balance the meat in each basket, so it has a smooth rotation.

Nice work - rock and roll!
I never thought of using the kettle base as a lid - SMART!:idea:

Careful when you lower it so that it doesn't bang into the skewer when going around.

There is work doing it that way though. I welded a 3/16" round bar around the inside of the kettle and two strips around the outside to create a flat surface to sit on the drum.
