My daughter is Cheer coach at William C. Overfelt HS
About a month ago we were hanging out with our granddaughter at a home game, and we were greeted by this...

No, it wasn't abandoned with the Brinkman - it's the dedicated hotdog cooker.
Having WKOCD, I had to do something.
This afternoon I grabbed a suspension setup and headed to the game this afternoon.
Mama Ruth had just started the coals (the lighter fluid was near by), so thinking this shouldn't take too long I just dumped them into the lid.
I was wrong...

Corrosion was bad. I've never had one this bad. Had to go MacGyver on it...

In between time, the brand new Brinkman had a bad lean and was threatening to fall on the cook.
Since safety seemed more important, so had a couple students hold the legs while I tried to fix the previous "mis-installation".
It's fun putting together a grill while a full load of coals are going.
Anyway, long story longer, the grill is back in business...

I don't know which one is more entertaining. You @dazzo changing the suspension while a kettle has been fired up with lit briquettes or @Darko chasing the elusive "glowing red kettle". Nice work Macdazzo.
