Spiral Dawgs and cheap lid holder

[James Lake]

Nothing too exciting here, just got some Cajun sausage from the butcher and spiraled them:

Dressed the dawgs with garlic aioli, yellow mustard and onions on a sourdough bun. Served with Cajun kettle chips and a red ale:

Now for the fun part, I hate putting my lids or my middle section of the WSM directly on the patio, not sure why but I don't want to get dirt or rocks on the grill and I don't want to have a grease stain on the patio. I think I saw this idea on here last spring but I don't recall who posted it but thank you.

I basically took one 2x4 and cut it into thirds, I purchased two hinges and now I have a place to set my stuff down:

It folds up and fits under my performer table.

Simple, cheap and works for me.

I like the curly dogs and Ninkasi, James! Nice pairing.

Nice simple solution to the lid issue.

Curly dogs are always a hit around here.

I had that same issue of not finding a place to put my grates/pot/food/etc. besides the dirty concrete floor. I'm going to take out my circular saw and make me one of those fans! Excellent idea! I'm going to have to cook myself some hot dogs now...
