Frozen Corn Dogs

[geek with fire]

Times being tough, and me being poor, I haven't been willing to expend the duckets on a decent hunk of meat lately. But while smoking some beans for church this weekend, I thought I'd take advantage of the wasted space in the smoker. I had let a few frozen el'cheapo corn dogs thaw a bit, then popped them onto the hot side of the 225 smoker for about 45 minutes. Smoke was apple and really seemed to compliment the honey in the corn dog batter.

This weekend, I think I'm gonna try frozen burritos. Now how could that possibly bad, eh?

Nice, on my low budget weekends, I go to the market and find whats on special and pick that up.....OR, I get the "managers special" thats like .99 a lb.

TV dinners on the smoker. Wouldn't need to worry about refilling the water pan.

Is trout season open in your neck of the woods? They make good Q. You could get the ol BB gun out and pop a few robins or a rabbit if you have any in your area.

Road Kill is a cheap way to smoke and mighty tasty to. Telling a southern secret here, take a spray can of paint to work with you and circle all the road kill ya see. On the way home ya can pick up anything not in a circle. Nothing like FRESH ROAD KILL.

Thank you, Josh, for helping me convince my wife that I am not obsessed.

Actually, my son and I had frozen burritos for dinner the other night and he said, "Hey Dad, I wonder how these would be on the smoker?"

You will have to let us know how it goes.

Smoke on, brother!

I just figured up that it costs me about $9.75 in gas every day, just to go to work. I figured if I give up lunch, I can just about afford to work; so yea, things are that bad.

But, I aint no victim, and I aint complaining. I'm just making lemonade out of lemons....hmm....wonder if I could smoke them lemons?

 

[hell fire grill]

Hang in there things will get better soon.

 

[pitrow]

I hear ya on that! I just did the math and I'm spending $14.75 a day in gas just to get back and forth to work. I've already had to cut out the luxuries like fancy espresso and going out for lunch everyday, I brew my own coffee at home and bring a sack lunch. I haven't been able to afford to fire up my smoker in almost a month, can't afford the meat and I don't want to run up my electric bill either (MES). I tell ya, if things keep going the way they are, it's going to be a BAD summer.

Damn Geek.. I'd take up a collection for ya, but as someone said it tough all over now. Hope we can live through one more year of George. Smoked Corn Dogs sound pretty good. I've tried making corn dogs from scratch before and it aint that easy! Getting the pancake batter / cornmeal slurry to stuck to the dog being the worst part. Once you get that down then you can move on to quality sausage and different batter mix. I'm going to have to try making a fancy one and smoking it now. See what you started!

Oooo. Smoked Braut's then dipped and fried into corn dogs. Now that sound bangin!

Also, no collection plate needed. If you could see my girlish figure, you'd know I'm not missing too many meals!
