UDS Rotisserie

I'd lose the round spit rod- seen too many take a dump!!

All that you need is a flat on the round spit rod. You tighten the set screw against the flat and you're good to go.

I regularly cut Titanium and Inconel with these:

No, you can see the set screw in this pic:

Awe, yes, i can see the set screw now. Thanks for pointing that out. It looked to be part of the round metal piece on the Y bracket so i couldnt tell what it was

I am so jealous right now. If you decide to make some extra units to sell let me know.

Thanks for all the positive comments!
The rod is notched where the allen set screw is located.
I found the baskets on sale for $3. Couldn't pass it up.:-D
I tried to use the tops of the baskets but the interfere with the Y bracket. Might have to extend the pins on the brackets.

Here's the test run for "Killer Spin Cycle"
Island Jerk Wings. I only had 21 wings :redface: :doh:.

30 min later :thumb::thumb:

Where did you find those baskets and what are they typically for?!

What a great addition to your UDS.

Question, not a criticism -- ('cause I think this is a great idea!)

Why did you go with three baskets instead of four? It would seem that it would be easier on the motor because you could always divide the load on opposite sides. It could run 2 empties and 2 opposite loads if doing a smaller cook. With the three baskets it seems that you will always need to balance the load between all three so the motor doesn't have to work so hard. (Not that filling up the pit with full baskets is a bad thing.:thumb

Great work, looking forward to where to find those baskets!

Blessings,

Nice!

I'll take a pair of the Y brackets!

Gonna see if I can fit the Char-Broil baskets on the R-O-L X members.

Let us know if they fit. Might be a good ROL mod.

Here's a link provided by swamprb. They're plain rotisserie baskets.

I got mine at Lowes for $9

I tried using 4 baskets, but each basket hit the one in front of it while rotating. Not enough clearance. Side by side there was enough room. Due to the UDS size I couldn't increase the distance between the baskets by lengthening the brackets. If you look at the first video you'll see how much the baskets clear the sides of the ring. I could have reduced the basket width but that was too much work.
Thanks for the comments.

A three basket design allows them to be wider. (in the Y axis)

That is very cool. Could you post a diagram with dimensions for the Y? This is great.
