Build Your Own Miniature BBQ from a Soup Can

Let’s face it, we don’t all have room for a full-sized barbecue grill in our backyards. Some of us don’t even have a backyard. If you live in a very tiny space, you need a tiny grill. Mr. Useful is here to show us how to make a miniature grill that will fit anywhere. FYI: It has a maximum capacity of only 2 wieners.

This won’t take any expert crafting or superior know-how, so just about anyone can do it. The main thing that you are going to need is a can. Any old aluminum can will do, but a longer can is better if you want to cook jumbo dogs especially. You want one that will be easy to cut into halves and also stand up to high heat. You want it long enough to cook the entire hot dog. You’ll also need some screws, bolts, a small hinge, a knob (or anything that be attached as a handle), and stiff but bendable wire for the grill surface.

After you follow the instructions, all you need is to take it outside, load it up with some charcoal and start the fire. Then just put your hot dogs on the grill, cook, and enjoy. This may be the smallest grill ever made.
