Pig Roaster P40 Party 2008 - The Storyboard

First we would like to thank the Grillsportverein.de Forum for all the support and helpful articles which played an important part of designing the Pig Roaster P40:


The P40 did everything to ensure our main guest enjoyed the nice and warm ride.














It hasn't taken long for our Texan Cowboy to adapt and to call himself a Pigboy, he even developed a good and smooth never seen before turn on...













But as usual when something is just to be to good to be true...an english wind known as Rincewind or "Bruder" suddenly appears from somewhere you do not really want to know and...does the typically english medium-rare turn on by putting his best grin on and grumbeled and sabbert...and looked into the deep darkness....and saw a light at the end of the tunnel...




the light turned into a flash and there he was not Flash Gordon or Gordon White
but the German almost oversized "Gartenzwerg" ... doing what we would expect...


















In the meantime our guest got herself a nice tan and couldn't believe...how hot it was...so she asked for a...











Isn't life just great....

Good thing is we even knew excactly what to do....


The P40 Party 2009 is comming up soon...

The P40 Pig Roaster Story Part 2

Here we go - since a few governments
decided that cows are amongst the biggest pollutants -
a run started on Pig Roasters - much the same way as Petrol Stations are overrun as soon we have a fictional oil crisis...and for unknown reasons the crisis comes true ...thanks for the panic...


As I have entered my email address in the email field twice and few days have passed without any news, I thought maybe I should contact the company directly to ensure to get my/our Pig Roaster in time - so off I went to their Contact form entering all information explaining my challenge etc. and pressed the submit button ....below the result:



ERROR!

After I removed all the ' and " from the text, the message went through.
Seems like this contact form has a second function to re-train users not to use abbreviations such as I'm - maybe its to prevent kids from entering orders - have you ever got an SMS from a kid - then you know what I mean? For those who didn't : it is like taking a news paper - burning holes into it with a lighter, and after 3 days being able to read it ;-)
Yes, I tried it and failed...

OK back to the Pig Roaster. So, I decided to give them a ring - after ringing 20 times I gave up.
Now - it was just to perfect I thought...maybe I try again....ring...ring...ring...........no Answer.
Then I heard a ring - but how could that be as I just hang up the phone? May be I got a tinitus from all those waiting rings to be picked up...or it is my email - puhh - it was my email - and guess from whom ? The company - YES. Asking me if I could send them the error I received and I complained about...and that they believe I could get a Pig Roaster beginning of September...and should enter my email address to be notified when the product is available again...hmm.
I send them the Error and the Solution , which might only impact English customers/prospects - "bloody me" this is "Ralfish" for Bloody Ge...." - and I asked them if they believe I could have the Pig Roaster mid August etc...Hoping that I get priority by discovering why they do not get orders other than from German speaking countries - opening a complete new market for them, the English one - and even given them a workaround.
And do I have an answer - NO!

To make things perfect my company asked me to go to USA - leaving again all my fingerprints and eye-examinations with them - not only that, as the tint is still on my fingers when I leave the security check, they will be visual all over USA.

As I'm going to Texas - the paradise of BBQ's and Steaks - I might have luck to find a Pig Roaster there ... don't think I can take the steel spit as hand luggage and as motor I might steal the windscreen wiper motor out of my wifes Megane in the darkness - but pssstt.

Please stay tuned for the next news of P40.
take care,

The P40 Pig Roaster Story Part 1

Ok, here we go! My first Blog is about my first Pig Roaster!
After few drinks the brilliant Idea popped into my head “Why not celebrate my 40th Birthday this year with a nice whole Pig BBQ?” - A few drinks later I still couldn’t find a reason why not…
So, coming from a computer background, I decided to create an invitation with PowerPoint and send it to around 40 People. You might be one of them ;-)
This was easy enough – open outlook,add picture, add people and press the send button.

Then suddenly I realized that my BBQ may not be big enough for a 35-40 KG pig- uuupsss. So I decided that I need to build a Pig Roaster. The Pig Roaster hasn’t been built yet – but I have already named it “P40” – this behaviour is one of my characteristics and my wife calls it the “Golden Tap” syndrome ;-)
OK – now where is P40 going to live? I thought an old pig
sty might be a suitable and fitting place for P40.
As the roof was very bad and the front wall already collapsing, I decided to start removing them both.
It's anyway better as the P40 will be fired with wood - *lol*

Funny enough I hurt my back digging in the garden and had to stop being the Demolition man for a while..


Good news: I found a company which can provide me with the Motor and a stainless steel spit
Bad news: They are out of stock until mid July - so let's see ;-)
Please stay tuned for the next news of P40.
take care,
