I'm looking to buy one too !  But I want a charcoal one, rather than a gas one.

The Spitting Pig and Hog Roast Scotland seem to have good machines and they seem almost to have a monopoly in Scotland.  The probably cover parts of England too.

The ones on ebay don't always have CE certification or warranties.

They are gas ones again, unfortunately.  I can hire or buy a gas machine in lots of places, but it seems impossible to hire a charcoal one.  But thanks anyway.

The ones sold by Spitting Pig are around the £4000 mark for a stainless steel, CE certified one.  The charcoal ones are cheaper, at about £2400 - both prices including VAT.  These are for doing c. 65 kg pigs.
