can you roast hotdogs with unit?

I wouldn't think it would be a great thing for roasting hot dogs, especially if grease were to drop in to the unit..... It is a wonderful thing if you like to sit around a fire, however. Love it.

It's an open propane flame. I don't think it would be my first choice for hotdogs.

Well, some friends roasted smores over mine recently and it was ok... Last time someone reheated some meat as a last resource and after some drinks, it dripped some fat on the black iron of the "bowl" (pit) and it was kinda hard to clean. If you don't plan to keep it superneat and it's just getting some flames on your hot dogs using a skewer or similar, I don't see why not...

I haven't tried it but it does put out quite a bit of heat. I think it is possible.

We roast marshmallow so yeah. Although it always has a pretty large flame, so nothing that's low enough to put them on a grill rack. At least mine doesn't seem to work that way.

The simple answer is yes. The flames on my unit reach up to 10 inches above the rim. But the flames are like a propane fire, not hot coals like a wood fire. That said, there is more than enough heat to roast hot dogs. However, I would not want to drop grease into the vermiculite granules on a regular basis.

There is not an odor that comes off of the Fire Dancer so I would think you could. Make sure you do not get the hot dog in the granules of the unit. So I think you are fine to give it a try. We travel with ours and are always being asked "where did you get that?" These are light weight and and easy to setup. Enjoy.

Yes I did it with mine. it does drop fat. So i prob wouldnt if you use fire glass. One thing, doesn't create the smokey taste of a real fire. So, it just tasted like a heated up dog. Still it was a bit of fun. :)

Hi, not to cook. We used it as a warmer after we cooked hotdogs we wrapped them up in foil. Cut in half for our kids party. It worked great.

Yes, as long as it is not too tall of a roast. Check the items dimensions so you know what you are getting.

Yes. You can get free recipes on the internet for rubs and sauces/marinades. This works great and holds a good steady temperature since you don't have to open the door to add wood chips while smoking. If you buy this, do NOT skip the break-in step, it seasons the unit for use and you only need do it once. We love ours and use it every week. Also, use a 55 gal contractor size trash bag to cover the unit when not in use they are cheaper than the factory-sold cover and last longer.

Not sure that you can since roasting is a dry heat method where the heat in the oven surrounds the food. With the exception of the sauté function, cooking in this is about moisture with little evaporation. If you turned the unit on sauté and tried to roast something, it would be like tring to roast something on a pot on the stovetop -- that method isn't roasting.

No. I have used both large and smaller ones. The large just barely touching and they cooked just fine.

Its terrible. ..honestly ane ez bake oven would work better. It took 10 minutes to make 1 hotdog it cooked uneven..burned one side raw on the other. The sharp half pint is a far superior microwave.

No. You have to know what your doing though. One mess up and you could fry it. My husband did it.

I have this model and it works great. Prime Rib, chicken is awesome on it. Found pork roast smoked up the room too much from fat on roast but it was good tasting.

that would depend on the hot dog you put on the machine and you MUST watch the temp ...

I never tried it, but there does not seem to be any reason why you can't unless it boils over and messes up your burner. I would call REC TEC, they are very responsive and would have a better answer.

It depends on the specific size of the roast. Yes, the unit can handle three pounds of food but the roast has to have roughly the same aspect ratio as the oven. If, for example, the roast is mostly circular in aspect ratio (like a ham), it either will not allow circulation around its edges or it'll stick above the water level or both. There is no question that a mostly 'tubular' shaped 3 lb roast will work.

I cooked a 2.5 lb roast however, it could accommodate a much larger roast. You just need to be careful the roast does not touch the burner elements in the back of the unit.

No. Just cook as many as you want. In fact, I cooked three yesterday and all went well.

You can't use a full size hot dog. I cut the hot dog down to 3.5 inches or less. The extra pieces I combine together to fill one of the reservoirs. The stick you put through the hot dog will hold the pieces together.

Yes but be careful not to disturb the heating elements or let food rest on them and burn-so whatever you are frying it is going to have to float-therefor I would always use the basket with this model with exposed elements.

Never tried either but know it would work great with the buns. It would just be a question of timing on the hot dogs. This is a great product. Thanks for new ideas.
