When we were stationed in Puerto Rico we had a pork roast. Someone got
the pig, slaughtered it and stuck it on a pole draining overnight in the
corner of the transmitter building we worked in. Meanwhile, a pit was
constructed outside for the fire/embers. My contribution was to design
and construct a heavy duty rotisserie to hold the pig over the pit.

I made a heavy duty steel frame and used one of the electric motors and
gear heads that were used to tune the inductor coils in the big, 100,000
watt HF transmitters. Worked great and rotated the pig at just the
right speed.

I forget exactly how many hours it took to cook it but I think it was
around 24 hours.

In-jinooity, Richard. Necessity is the mother of invention.

I trust the pig was tasty too!
