Did you not ever roast hot dogs or marshmallows over an outdoor fire on a coat hanger? We periodically roast them in the fall at my mother-in-law's in the country. We used to roast hot dogs and marshmallows in the fireplace even when growing up.
I was thinking the same thing Tootsie, it sure seems better than a wire hanger that keeps flipping around in your hand. Plus, there's nothing better than a dog roasted over a fire. YUM
