| Gentlemen.. Start your chickens! |
Just what possessed me to build a chicken spit? I have no answer.
Being in the maintenance department off and on for years, I have had many
request to make or repair things for other workers that work on production
jobs. Everything from making speciality tools to welding bicycles and lawn
mower handles and decks. I can't imagine the number of Christmas decorations
made and the thousands of tractor and mower blades sharpened over the years.
The last couple years there has been a run on chicken cookers. Don't ask me
why but it has replaced the log splitters as the most needed item in the
valley household. A while back I was fabricating some parts for a friends
spit and decided to make extras for the next go round. With these parts made
and the workplace closing I figured why not make one.. after all I can always
sell chickens along roadside when I'm unemployed, That is if I could afford
chickens to cook...lol Seriously I enjoy fabricating things like this and although
I will probably never use it, I will always have one to lend out to friends that
feel the need to cook a dozen chickens for a ho-down or a Red-Neck wedding or
something. The valley is chock full of social events just begging for burnt chickens.
Who knows I might give it a try in a couple weeks when the kids are in town.
Family always makes good Guinea pigs. And we all know kids will eat
almost anything free. So if you know anyone that feels the need to spin some
chickens on an open fire it will be available. (firewood not included)
This venture is kind of reminiscent of the log splitter I built years ago that so many
people enjoyed using , and wearing out, I might add. I'll learn .. not right away ..
but I'll learn. Now .. just what was in that 'secret' seasoning ?
