Would you buy this?

My uncle owns a pig roaster that we built from scratch when I was a kid. It's a 5oo gallon steel gasoline tank with a stainless steel spit and an electric motor that spins the pig real slow. It's on a chassis that originally had wheelbarrow tires and now has donut spare tires and it has a tounge to be pulled with a truck/small tractor, but when we move it any distance it goes on a trailer.

With some help from my uncle's place of employment all the components were scrounged or fabbed in house and the thing cost essentially zero. We use it 2-3 times a year and it's held up for years.

In summary, if you want a cooker you can probably get one a lot cheaper than that. If you've got the money though, they are a lot of fun. Ask yourself if the benefits will outweigh the financial expense.
