Pffft! I'm disappointed in you. You're powering the rotisserie with only 110 volts? I figured you'd at least use 220 single phase for that good "turbo" spin action.

It'd look "swine-fine" if you replaced that vent with a Benz hood ornament.

I am impressed. Looks sturdy, well made and I suspect very good at directing the heat at the food.

thanks for sharing, Kevin....your BBQ talents and culinary skills are reputed to be legendary...I'd love the chance to drive out to one of the D.C. area Mercedes gatherings you host, and partake, next year.

heh, I was wondering about the ping part...
ya know it's a bad idea to power a high demand appliance with a coiled cord right? you should unroll the cord from the winder before you power the grill!
the cord can heat up and catch fire.
