[TheForge] OT (?) What's this?

[Peter Hirst]

These hooks are way to thick, heavy, small and dull for meat of any kind, 
whether as adangle hook, smoker, meat locker, whatever.  So what do the ones 
in the book lok like?  Do they bolt overhead and fit into something like a 
hardie hole on the bottom?  Are they this short and thick?  Close together? 
A dangle spit was made to hang from a crane or tripod.  Is there a picture 
of one that bolts on?
