Tools and materials:
- Corrugated metal sheet 2.1 mm 1200mm * 2400mm;

Step One: Sketch
The author already had experience in making a brazier, only smaller. Remembering the skill, he made a sketch.
Step Two: Making a Roasting Pan
The next step, the author marks, according to the sketch, a sheet of metal. Next cuts out the markup. The author decided to make a brazier not cutting completely the sheet, but partially bending it. The task is not simple, given that the sheet is corrugated, but the result is excellent. By bending the sheet welds the seams. Welds the legs and strengthens them, along the perimeter, with a corner.
Step Three: Spit
Further, the author makes a skewer. The skewer consists of two vertical supports, an arm for supporting the skewer, an engine that rotates the skewer, “forks” and a shaft.
The motor and bracket can be moved up and down the legs to adjust the heat. They are fixed to the supports with screws.
Two vertical supports are made of a profile pipe. In the brazier, "windows" were cut for installation.
Val author made collapsible. Three parts are threaded. One end is pointed, the second is connected to the engine. On the shaft from two sides, in a circle, grooves are made. Grooves are needed so that the shaft does not jump off the brackets.
The plug is made of stainless steel welded to the pipe. The pipe is screwed onto the shaft.
To prevent the pig’s back from sagging, it also made supports from stainless plates.
To eliminate the imbalance, he made and secured a counterweight.
Step Four: Cover
Not every day there is a need to use a roasting pan. Therefore, the author made a cover on it. Using the lid, you can store all parts of the spit in a roasting pan, and use the roasting pan itself as a table or bench. The cover is made of a corner and a board. The board is covered in black paint.
The brazier is ready.Thanks to the adjustable height and electric drive, meat in such a fryer will never burn.
Bon Appetit.
