  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

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]

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]

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.
