Beautiful

[jehan60188]

cute! try cooking with esbit, or gelled alcohol in the bottom!

[cdousley]

esbit would work great btw do you know were i could get some of them cheap

[yodasoda6]

is the coat hanger safe? the one i found at my house has gold coating, idk about yours. i juts want to know if the fire would make that stuff get in the food. it sounds outlandish, but seriously great idea ! i love it! im making one

[ebqbbqmaster]

I actually sand everything off before making the product. so there is no gold coating on it.

[cdousley]

I made a simpler grill my hangers had the coating too so i sanded them

Has the world gone mad?? Now they are saying WiFi causes cancer. If that's the case, living really does cause cancer. At least for me.

[ricochet3212]

 Same dude, I heard someone say Air is cancerous, Oh well, DEEP BREATHS FOR ALL!

[hackysacker]

This is cool i made one of these although with out the top, it's just the wire and the bottom i was gonna put the top on the grill upside down and make pancakes tomorow morning but we don't have any charcol i guess ill just have to wait. good instructable

[ricochet3212]

 On a technicality, What do you use when you're camping to make fire and cook, Wood, Find some sticks or something and light it up dude. That's Why I'm making it, Get hungry at a buddy's house and he don't want to cook, Light it up with a small steak or a hotdog or something.

This is honestly one of the coolest "for chuckles" projects on instructables. Thanks.

[inventerboy]

awesome i had an idea sorta like this but the bbq was a like a circle

[pinja71]

that is cool I am going to make one

[qwertyman10]

Cant you just use the flat bottom and have the engraved/embossed side on top? Great idea.

[ebqbbqmaster]

What do you mean?

[LilPurpleCow]

Hey how did you add the cool little dice?

[Wasagi]

I'm so going to make this! 5 stars definetley!!

[Wasagi]

Wait, what'd you use for fuel?

[ebqbbqmaster]

fuel...

[Hobo I Ar]

HAHAAA I made one! It's not nearly as good as yours, but it took less than 40 minutes to make. I'm going to light it up for the first time tomorrow.

[Oldrunk]

That is a awsome idea, a BBQ that can fit in my lunch box , lunch at work just became so much better, thanks!!!!!

[wotot2]

Could you imagine your boss coming in and goin, "hey, i smell smoke" then you sayin, "oh don't worry about it, its just me bbq'n in my office" XD

[Hobo I Ar]

That's not even necessary, all he needs is some ol' fashioned office defense systems.....like http://www.instructables.com/id/Office-Booby-trap/

[matrix828]

hey could you post clearer instructions to make the grill-rack-thing please? ~Operator99

[mytechuniverse]

Are there any dangerous metals in an Altoids tin?

[junits15]

no, if there were they wouldn't be filled wih mints! XD

[mytechuniverse]

Some metals can be dangerous to burn, and I'm fairly sure Altoids tins are zinc coated which is produces toxic fumes when burnt. However, I'm not 100% sure about this.

[junits15]

hmm that is good to know

[Need4Chaos]

I just looked that up and couldn't find anything on Altoids tins being coated with zinc, but you never really know

[ebqbbqmaster]

thats what they want you to think

[ricochet3212]

But they know that we will think what they want so did they really try to make us think it or is it our own minds on a trail they made. I'm gonna think that burning metal makes you turn into Jesus so they can't want me to think that.

[dabombmaker]

thats so funny...the cool type not the lame type. lol y did you light it with spilt oil all around it that was dangerous, wow i sound old nm light it on fire i like fire!!!

[benz_z]

did ya remember to burn of the plastic coating off the coat hanger?

[greenmanj23]

Not all metal coat hangers have a plastic coating.

[benz_z]

most do even the ones that arnt white but look metal have a thin pvc coating on them (but those usually have a brassy brown colour on them)

[jake walker]

no way to make propane too small, and would melt tin
