Ah, but you forget I get to come in as totally clueless. Ripe for
the picking for some evil unscrupulous blacksmith/welder/artisan.

Good point on the chemicals, but I do wonder if some of the
special grill paints aren't fully checked about that.

I kind of wonder how to season a spit setup. It sure won't
fit in the oven. Maybe just rub it down with oil and then
cook on it. Long slow heat over several hours....

I could do that. And that is another step in the right direction.
