Ya know, I hadn't even heard of that slang until just this year... 
Blacksmith, my uncle used an old oil tank for a frame for his spit, helped hold the heat in and make a bed for the charcoal to go in. What do ya think? Yours looks great! |

Oh dear, I just had to google it
That's put me off my breakfast! |

My first duty report as a brand new copper involved this term and I blythly recorded it, without so much as a flicker of an eyelid (I had no idea what it meant  ).
Did my Sgt ever scream at me

Thanks for your comments... and for dragging it down to my level
This thread is purely about roasting a pig on a spit. It does NOT involve making ladies "airtight"
|

| Rob R |
I don't geddit, anyone care to explain?
|
||||
| Penny Outskirts |
You'll just have to google it like I did ... but brace yourself! |
||||
| Slim |
it really is quite a graphic slang term...
Over here we are more likely to use the euphemisms Eiffel Tower, or London Bridge depending on specific positioning... |
||||
| Rob R |
I got loads of blacksmiths competitors- what version of Google do you use?
|
||||
| toggle |
try urban dictionary | ||||

| Tittch |
T'was a perfectly innocent comment. Can't help if you are all a bunch of smutty minded smut mongers from Smuttyland...

| Rob R |
And that's how I read it, never occured to me. |

The spit is 1.5 m long, (less space for supports at each end) Its made from 25mm diameter 304 grade stainless steel and will happily support a 11 1/2 stone blacksmith hanging on it.
Pictures available on request.. me hanging on a spit not spit roasting. ..... or being spit roasted  or is that a "lucky Pierre" ?

Well, I didn't know what the slang was for that business until only last year (Blacksmith and Tittch educated me......).
Anyway, would it work for a lamb rather than a pig? Having never spit-roasted AN ANIMAL before ( ), I'm pretty clueless, but we're thinking of having our first BBQ of the year on the 15th, so it's just an idea.
Thinking a pig might be too much for 15 or so people (greedy buggers though they are). As I say, it's just a thought, I'll probably think of another 10 things to have between now and the weekend, but thought I'd ask

Fee, I told you at the time ... it has to be TWO gentlemen and ONE lady, not the other way round.
Fun though it was.
|

| Blacksmith |
Have just finished making a bolt-on version, that would take a lamb or goat or plethora of fowl.

For that particular slang term I think you're correct, but that doesn't mean you HAVE to stick with that arrangement... |
||||
| Fee |
There's always a way
Anyway, good news about the spit, I shall discuss with Paul, and look at who's coming (to the party *snigger*)! |

He'll be too busy now, drawing plans on the backs of envelopes for a two-pig model spit roaster

You should consider buying in charcoal wholesale and selling it to the punters at retail prices. | ||||
| Rob R |
I already have The local charcoal producers never answered my messages though so I forgot about it, don't think they're au fait with a telephone, should have sent smoke signals...
|
||||
| Blacksmith |
I have been in touch with a local charcoal maker, but he does spit roast himself.
I will see if he is willing to give discount for bulk purchases. |

I was going to say that would take more than two men but I thought better of it .. my question is, as a newbie, do you practice the art by which your nick implies,,, and if you do do you make gates, and bespoke railings?? |
