Is this Pit worth $4,000?

The design looks pretty good except for the poor thermo placement. With any rotisserie, it's all about the mechanics which you can't tell from a photo. I'd check out the mechanical design, operation and maintenance access for the moving parts very carefully before I plunked down my cash.

I built my roto 1 1/2 years ago and wouldn't part with it. It is a SY clone, has 12 shelves and cooks like a dream. 4 grand for a roto with a few hours on it, go for it.

stick a pork butt or two still in the package and see if the shelf's tip on their way around. I had to redesign mine for pork butts at a great expense then once I got it right and left Connecticut, I forgot everything.

Hey Nate,

Somewhere I have the name of a pit builder from Sikeston that just started up on his own building rotisseries ( he has been building them for another mfg in the Sikeston area for years ) and I am quite sure they where under $3K.
Call me if interested
