DIY Friday: Make an Altoids Mini-BBQ. Perfect For S?Mores!
This is adorable: a tiny charcoal BBQ grill using an Altoids Sours tin, two metal computer fan guards, and some sheet metal screws for legs. It looks like it fits one regular-sized briquette. As one of the commentors notes, this is great for marshmallows, but you could also cook a shrimp at a time.
Making it doesn?t require tools more sophisticated than a Dremel ? no soldering, no nothing. Release the GeekDads. You could probably bang this thing out and be eating S?Mores before your neighbor?s charcoal grill is hot enough to cook.
Instructables user Vmspionage?s mini-grill was inspired by the earlier eBQ, which uses a full-sized Altoids tin. He also writes that ?the propane version is coming soon! ? Now we just need someone to make a MintyBoost-powered electric starter, and we?ll really have something cooking.
