The secret to a great BBQ weanie is to make sure you don't burn it on the grill. And we've all seen it, dad gets a hold of the tongs and it's all over, black meat sticks for all. Well fear no more! There is a solution, albeit a little evil looking. It's Cthulhu: Eater of Souls, Roaster of Dogs. This strange looking contraption holds your dogs above the grill to prevent burning. Perfect dogs are just a soul away!

A while ago, I wrote about some pretty funny / cool hot dog roasters sent to me from the folks at roastmyweenie.com. Work well enough, and pretty amusing, but not exactly practical for even a modest sized cook. I really wanted a roaster that could hold more than one dog. After thinking about it a bit, dawned on me that some creature with tentacles would be perfect and easy enough to cut on roastmyweenie’s water jet based cutter. Now, I could have a gone with a squid based design as they will, in fact, eventually rule the living world. But, nah….

Then it hit me! Cthulhu! Perfect! Tentacled devourer of souls and bastion of chaos would be perfect for roasting dogs!
We went back and forth a bit on designs, eventually settling on the one you see here. It looks a bit more Punisher-esque in steel than the original designs on paper. But suckers on bendy tentacles are hard to water-cut and don’t really lend themselves well to roasting dogs anyway.
It works brilliantly, to. Plenty of support for th dogs, keeps them nicely off the grill surface, and looks pretty damned chaotic evil sitting on the grill hissing away as little bits of grease shoot out of the ends of the dog to spatter and explode on the hot food grade steel.
Completely kicks ass. For the moment, it is unique. This is what it looks like before being bent into shape.
I’m sure that if you were to contact the folks at Roast My Weenie, they might make a few more.
(I also really like their Dog Cooker design).
Byron from Roast My Weenie also posted this video to YouTube of the Cthulhu weenier roaster being cut on their Water-Jet cutter.
