Title: Re: Yummm...Those tasty fusible links... Post by: WB3JOK on March 07, 2015, 09:50:52 PM Presto used to make a hot dog cooker (called the "Hot Dogger" I believe) that worked just like that one. Passed the AC line voltage through the hot dog to heat it... ;)

Passed the AC line voltage through the hot dog to heat it... ;) In the 50s we made those in shop class. A board, a line cord and two nails; it cooked the hotdog great but left the ends cold. Not the safest thing to use, can you imagine what would happen today if you did that in school, of course they don't even have shop class anymore! http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/img/20f/20ff0eb9638792742b5bef80bcfe1d7b_l.jpg Title: Re: Yummm...Those tasty fusible links... Post by: W3RSW on March 08, 2015, 08:08:42 AM No they have home-EC classes for all. You learn to sew and cook.
Back to the basics of three phase fusible links: "The skin is on the inside when you burn them inside out." Title: Re: Yummm...Those tasty fusible links... Post by: Opcom on March 09, 2015, 12:01:06 AM That one is for Vienna sausages!
Title: Re: Yummm...Those tasty fusible links... Post by: WD5JKO on March 09, 2015, 10:39:31 PM Are the dogs polarized such that in a DC circuit they have to be inserted correctly to allow current to flow? With plugs and jacks we sometime use the male and female analogy. Maybe that applies here as well. :P Jim Wd5JKO Title: Re: Yummm...Those tasty fusible links... Post by: Ralph W3GL on March 11, 2015, 05:37:00 PM Presto used to make a hot dog cooker (called the "Hot Dogger" I believe) that worked just like that one. Passed the AC line voltage through the hot dog to heat it... ;) I have one of those "Hotdogger" 's stashed away in the bottom of my kitchen cabinet along side of my Sunbeam Electric Skillet and bun steamer... The hotdogger would cook 6 dogs at a time but I only used it for 2 most of the time... As I recall, it did a good job on the dogs. Think I might pull it out and try it as I have a package of wheenie's in the frig needing to be consumed... And, the buns are a bit "long-in-the-tooth" so the steamer will be used as well... ;D Title: Re: Yummm...Those tasty fusible links... Post by: Opcom on March 12, 2015, 11:00:46 AM Safety First! always use a fuse, current limiter, and isolation transformer, etc.
DIY a 120-240 step up and variac with a light bulb or ceramic cone limiter. This works for the pickle lamp as well. Title: Re: Yummm...Those tasty fusible links... Post by: W7TFO on March 12, 2015, 12:23:49 PM To think this started out with a simple knife switch and some Kosher dogs.
It is always amazing just what will grow when you feed it... Too funny! 73DG Title: Re: Yummm...Those tasty fusible links... Post by: WB3JOK on March 12, 2015, 12:35:14 PM Is the 300W series heater element placed in thermal proximity to the hot dogs, to help them cook? :D
Title: Re: Yummm...Those tasty fusible links... Post by: KB2WIG on March 12, 2015, 01:09:34 PM No, the 300W cone load is to warm the buns. I don't like the variac. One could walk away from cooking, and come back to a shriveled up doug. Better to stay around and watch the quick cook. Fast food is watt made America grate. klc Title: Re: Yummm...Those tasty fusible links... Post by: W7TFO on March 12, 2015, 01:28:28 PM Now class, get back to the curriculum; this is a polyphase exercise, so make your efforts to that end.
There will be a pop quiz on the horizon. :o Class dismissed. 73DG Title: Re: Yummm...Those tasty fusible links... Post by: WB3JOK on March 15, 2015, 12:41:29 AM One could walk away from cooking, and come back to a shriveled up doug. Yeah, nothing worse than a shriveled doug. ;D Title: Re: Yummm...Those tasty fusible links... Post by: n1exi on March 15, 2015, 11:49:46 AM seen this in an old issue of QST - some one had the bright idea of placing a two meter antenna inside of a metal garbage can - fired up the rig to cook a hot dog - field day?

Why not just skewer the hotdog on the antenna? Much simpler. Of course, don't use a Larsen Kulrod!greg - n1exi |
