Yes, those are suitable too, but may be harder to get and one needs to  
make sure the speed is right, they come with all sorts of gear ratios.
I expect something like a battery screwdriver might work too, although  
they turn faster.
The chicken grill motor is a good solution, and i can recognize one of  
those when i see it, so i'm not worried about the people who took a  
peculiar interest in it.
