I want to build a cheap drum, to mount on the rotisserie of my grill. I have my drum all planned out for building, but my question was could I buy a cast iron tube burner, and just use on horrizotally under the drum, or would 3 burners fron to back be ok? thanks I am doing a perforated steel drum if that changes anything. |

Welcome To HRO willusq! Before going through the trouble of adding a cast iron burner running left to right under the drum which would require plumbing and fabricating, I would experiment with adding relatively thin sheetmetal on top of the cooking grates to block up-flow everywhere but just below the footprint of your drum. This would concentrate heat from the three burners toward the drum and with three burners you'll have infinite control.

If I bought a motor, such as this one: http://www.herbach.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv? How would I wire this up. I am not very savy with large electronics, I am just not familiar with AC connections. Any help would be appreciated, thanks guys --Will |

Will, Please post the link to the exact motor you are talking about. Your link above just goes to an index.
1 pound electric sample roaster, 3 pound direct-flame roaster, both handmade; modified Mazzer Mini grinder, LaSpaziale Vivaldi II automatic espresso machine. When the electricity goes out I make vacpot coffee from beans ground on my Zassenhaus hand grinder, and heat the water with a teakettle on the gas range.

That's a nice motor and a great price. Torque-wise, if your drum is 10" in diameter, that motor can spin an 8 pound load. Don't be concerned with the intermittent duty. All shaded pole motors are. And, since a roast is less than half an hour, it won't get too hot. Just let it cool between roasts.
