I will try that sometime, Steve.

The best hotdogs I've ever had (brand not important) are ones cooked on a
stick and held over a campfire. Doesn't matter what wood you use, just dried
sticks from the woods.

I like to hike in a local state park here on cold winter days. Only cold
winter days because it's a combo of woods and swamp...a haven for many water
moccasin snakes in warm weather.

On these winter hiking days, I like to bring along some hotdogs and at some
point, I'll make a small (illegal) campfire and cook them. One time I was
at the shoreline on an extra low tide day. I made a small fire in a shallow
pit on the beach. Once the wood burned down to hot coals, I walked out and
collected about 6-8 oysters and put them on the hot coals. Once they
opened, it was delicious lunch.
