Get you mind out of the Gutter!...This looks like the Coolest Toy...

My kids had a Baby Swing that looked similar. Wind it up and...Back and Forth for 30 minutes. One of you Engineers could figure it out...JJ

When have rules ever meant anything to you?

Really cool! We built a tripod with a grate for camping and grilling burgers,etc but not motorized!

I would like to try that but I have one question...if i get tired, can my wife swing my schwenker?

I don't have one but I did find a recipe for what to cook on it. I used to love schwenkbraten when I was stationed at Ramstien AB Germany.

and a round piece of steel about 6" diameter x 1/4" thick. I have this piece already.

The only thing I cant find is a good grate. Weber has some nice round greats but none have sides

Looks great, but does anyone see something odd about the recipe?

Recipe is right, the picture is wrong.

I wanted to give this a bump, I am finally getting around to doing this, I just ordered some stuff and will start this week, hopefully in time for our Killens Pond Camping trip in a few weeks.

Let's just say that I was inspired by a few Porterhouses on a tripod last camping trip.

I'll start a new thread and post a link to that on this thread

I just saw a show where they were cooking a pork dish. Hmm it was some traditional pork dish I'll have to try and remember what it was. Looked good!

sqwib · Nov 3, 2014

My smart @ss buddy said I thought you already had a Schwenker, my reply was, "I do, but this one holds your meat better".

Hopefully it will come out nice enough to keep!

You are a bad, bad, man in need of serious help!

.... which is probably why I like you so much!

dirtsailor2003 · Nov 3, 2014

Ah yes here's that recipe I was thinking about, and a simple tripod rig that would work.

I'm sure if you are careful and use protection, you can schwing your schwenker over a Mr. Buddy!

You don't want drippings on a Mr. Buddy.

Anybody swing their SCHWENKER in the backyard lately???
