It may be too late for professional help Gar, but here's another contribution.

You can warm and char a hot dog (I prefer Hebrew National 1/4# all beef) with your propane torch. I prefer the trigger light version as with the older separate ignitor version you have to lay the dog down on the dirty bench top. Of course, with sufficient flame, whatever gets on the dog becomes char anyway.

Thanks Uncle Bob. If I can gather enough of these I might write a how to / cookbook & all around general food preparation digest.

Well,that leaves it wide open for an old kiwi delicacy....
If you have a good little road trip comin up and you like a roast meal at the end,,,try this...
All you need is a wire netting basket and a FRESH road kill,,now it has to be fresh,,,and preferably still warm,,,
Tie fresh road kill possum,pheasant,turkey,roadrunner,muskrat[or similar] in the wire netting basket,and attach with more wire to the headers on your roadster/T bucket...On a good four/six hour trip,you should find the roadkill reasonably well cooked to your taste,just rotate occasionally when you have a comfort stop and with a bit of luck,will be enough to share with your friends when you get to your destination,,cos ya cant turn up uninvited,WITHOUT somethin for the table,now can ya??
Sorry guys,getting late,just had to do it....Good night..

Is a wooden nickel really wooden???.Errrrrr,oh wrong thread,........

It's been a few years ago, ok more than a few. I was working on the race car and had earlier finished grilling some steaks. Everyone else was eating in the house, but me. My racing budy showed up and my steak is sitting on the bench. He wanted to know where his was, I didn't have another so I offered him half of mine. I picked up the steak and set it on the bench, grabed the sawsall I had been using and cut steak in half. And yes I put the safty glasses on first. We were then both happy.

Safty Note: before you do this you should first wipe blade,( I did not), to remove any metal shavings. We got lucky that day..............
