a windscreen wiper motor would work we have a manual one and while we clay shoot some sit next to the pig and turn the handle it takes about 5 hours to cook a decent pig but its a lot cheaper to buy them from the slaughterhouse than rearing your own

Any idea what type of bar to use as the spit?

I rung a company near me and asked for 25mm stainless steel bar 3mtr length £125. Can't afford that, it needs to hold at least 50kg.

just get a mild steel one and cover it with grease one end up its arris and one out off its mouth but make sure you wrap wire around it or you will loose most of it as it falls off you can weld a bike cog on one end and ut a chain on it to turn it and wire the motor to a 12volt battery
