The BBQ Report

Bet you don’t have one of these in your arsenal! This new product is the brainchild of the aptly named Wiener Tec, who are masters of wiener technology. Inventor Reg Wall came up with the idea when, and I’m not making this up, a cat ate his wiener. It rolled off the grill where it was quickly snatched up by the hungry feline.

The patented WienerStick is basically a rack of vertical stainless steel tines which you use as sort of a vertical kabob setup. The WienerStick sits vertically on your barbecue, maximizing space and turning your two dimensional cooking surface, into a three dimensional experience. Food skewered on the stainless steel tines cooks quite quickly from the inside out, allowing you to make a variety of foods including wieners and hotdogs, without the hassle of constant turning or burning. If you have several of these you could cook enough hot dogs for the entire neighborhood in one shot.

There’s an action shot of the inventor demonstrating this little gadget in The Abbotsford News and more information on the Wiener Tech website. No photos of the wiener eating cat however.
