<br>Makers Local did a pig roast which was a lot of fun, and got us a lot of exposure to people that aren't typically involved in the hacker\maker scene. I really enjoyed it because we made our own rotating spit, which incorporated welding, motor control, and the science of cooking. We ended up building both a pit and solar reflectors to aid in the roasting.<br>
<br>We charged a reasonable fee, and raised a couple hundred dollars this way.<br><br><span><a href="https://256.makerslocal.org/2010/02/22/pig-roast-pictures/">https://256.makerslocal.org/2010/02/22/pig-roast-pictures/</a><br>
