Char Broil Grill Parts
I started with a Char-Broil Quickset
Gas grill, 40,000 BTU. I paid $169. 00 at Home Depot. This is a large
no frills grill with no side burners, bun warmers, but a lot of room
inside the grill. I purchased a Universal grill thermometer and mounted
it near the front handle of the grill cover, which is about the same
height as a lower part of the roasting chamber. I also purchased a
Universal rotisserie kit and used most of the parts, but replaced the
motor with a used reduced gear motor from a printing press ink agator. I
put a 1 1/2" pulley on the motor and a 4” pulley on the rotisserie
shaft. This gives me about 20 RPM. The original motor was about 5 RPM
with the wind behind it. The roasting chamber was made from a
24” X 36” sheet of perforated aluminum, 1” angle aluminum, 2-8”
stainless steel stove pipe caps, a sheet of 22 gauge steel cut into a 4
spoke support wheel, and the rotisserie shaft and fittings from a
Universal rotisserie kit. I purchased everything except the stainless
steel end caps at Home Depot. I found the end caps at a stove pipe
dealer on the web and paid about $19.00 a piece. I could have probably
found them at a local heating supply store, but I did not have the time
to locate this during working hours. Ideally I would like to have had an
8” perforated stainless steel cylinder fabricated, but I did not have
time to pursue this during business hours.
