Beer can hot dog grill

OK, we've all tried beer can chicken. How about beer can hot dog. A couple weeks ago I was questioned/challenged about lighting up the LBGE for a single hot dog. Last night, my son and I were thinking/drinking and decided to put something together that was less wasteful of lump. I won't take credit for the original design, as I've seen similar on the web. We just went with what we had.
First needed an empty beer can. Largest we had was a 16 oz Landshark left over from the Buffet concert.
Cut it in half, add a hinge, handle, grid and grate (Too bad they don't make Mangrates in this size)
Add some lump and a dog and you are ready to go

Nice! I've seen that on facebook but never actually considered building one. This is what you can use the crumbs in your lump bag for.They/Them

No, we were able to handle it all on our own. Oh wait, you may be referring to a different kind of help.travisstrick said:You need help.

You said you were "thinking/drinking",,, I think you got it backward, it should have been drinking/thinking...LBGE (still waitin' for my free T-Shirt), DIgiQ DX2 (In Blue, cause it's the fastest), Heavy Duty Kick Ash Basket, Mc Farland, WI.

Can Tom make an Adj Rig for that :((Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now).

Looks great! I think my Maverick probes might catch on the lid during low and slows - assume that's possible. How many hours can you get on a single load of crumbs, fines - lump or whatever you call it?I was thinking you could get at least 200 cooks out of a $6 bag of RO.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

That's pretty cool. You could throw a brat in there, or 2 or 3 wings or abts.middle of nowhere- G.I. NE

Great idea but it would be too complex to wrap and ship out.Legume said:that is absolutely beautiful. paint it green and sell it as the micro max

Thanks for all the kind words. With 4 small pieces of lump, I cooked 2 dogs and still had plenty left. It leaks a lot of air so tough to shut her down.__________________________________________It's not a science, it's an art. And it's flawed.- Camp Hill, PA

But were you worried about any possible outgassing of chemicals from the lining on the can or from the paint on the outside when it got hot? Oh what am I saying? You ate a hot dog so obviously you don't care about chemicals.
