Hi @Diggerg, i have the BBQ Mates version, I do like the idea of the Rôtisserie over the Fire Box, got me thinking now! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggerg Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) @Smokin Monkey is there a solid base under the fire bricks? How big is the grill area on yours? The one I'm looking at is 800*400mm BBQ mates aren't a million miles from me so may take a trip and have a look.

Yes it is solid Stainless Steel under the firebricks, and its 700mm x 450mm so pretty much the same. They have several models available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggerg Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 Gonna pull the trigger on the steel and bricks next week. Hopefully get it built before Easter but see how busy work is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Yes. I did see a video the other day of someone using a wsm as a sort of santa maria grill. They left opening uncovered and then the two grills as 2 levels. Cheat really and nothing like the real thing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggerg Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 Ordered the steel today so hopefully make a start next week. Stainless for the grill won't be in till the end of next week. Already got my handle and shaft machined up. Can't wait to get cracking👨🏭👨🏭👨🏭👨🏭👨🏭 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggerg Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 We'll after 3 months off furloughed in back in the shop. 😄 Made a bit of progress the last couple of lunchtimes. Need to machine the liners for the winding gear in the legs and suss out the ratchet lock. Cut stainless bottom for the fire bricks to sit on. Build fire grate in left side. Plate sides. Blast. Paint. Not much left to do 😂😂😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggerg Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 @Smokin Monkey what's the angle of tilt on your grill for the fat run off? 10° enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Monkey Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Just measured mine, and yes it’s about 10’ 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotv Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 May or may not be of interest to you? A guy I subscribe to on Youtube has just completed a Santa Maria Grill upgrade. Some interesting ideas in there. There is a total of 3 video's in the Project series, this is the final one, easy to find the other 2 if any use to you. Also some cooks he has done on them in others as well 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Monkey Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 This is one I use at Tailgates. The ratchet lock is very basic, flat bar pointed at one end to fit into the cog, then pivoted on a bolt, leave the handle long then the weight pulls the lever down engaging the point, if that makes sense? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggerg Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) Still undecided whether to put my rotisserie above the main grill or to the side over the brasero Edited July 6, 2020 by Diggerg Sp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Monkey Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I made mine so I could attach a variety of “Tools” Rotisserie, Grill, Asado Rack, Plancha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Monkey Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Should of added mine all folds down to make it Portable. It’s made from two fire bowls. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
