Looking for a more hygienic way to roast a hot dog that doesn’t involve it rolling around on a rarely cleaned grill? Taking advantage of the Coandă effect, YouTube’s NightHawkInLight has created a bizarre BBQ alternative that instead levitates a wiener inside a red hot coil.
Even if you’re not familiar with the Coandă effect, you’ve probably seen a video or two online of it in action, and have definitely experienced it in real life. Named after Romanian inventor Henri Coandă, it describes an effect where a fluid jet—either a liquid or gas—has the tendency to cling to the contours or a convex surface. If you’ve ever tried to empty a mug into a sink and had the coffee run down the side and drip off the bottom of the mug, that’s the Coandă effect at work. But it can also be used to make objects with curved surfaces float using an air gun by generating lift that counteracts the effects of gravity, like ping pong balls, oranges, screwdrivers, and now grilling season staples.

lol, if you have not mixed Ranch Style Beans and doritos and eggs, you are missing out! lol. the nacho doritos.
Sticks to them backbones!
Been to the Varsity. I prefer Tommy’s in Carteret, NJ.
Cut up SPAM into two inch chunks and skewer with pineapple (alternating) slather on Sweet Baby Rays, grill for 10 minutes, your choice of cheese, on a tortilla, boom. Thank me later.
It wouldn’t be a proper gas station without hot dogs rotating on those shiny steel rollers, although I’ll confess I’ve never seen anyone actually consume one. Gas station sushi is pretty good too.

Microwave....... grilling does not enhance an ordinary hot dog
Air Fryers/ Convection Ovens Rock.
My favorite is crunched up doritos on center cut pork chops; like a shake n bake.
45-50 years ago.
Yeah it was.
Coandă effect is what keeps aircraft flying on the top of the wings. The C-17 Globemaster (moose) uses it...a lot of it.

Yes. Boiled dogs are an abomination.
YOu can hammer two nails into a piece of wood and skewer the hot dog on the nails. Attach each wire from a power code to each nail. Plug in. cook hot dog.
You don’t turn a charcoal grill on ‘High’ so easy. Anything other than charcoal can be cooked in your kitchen broiler.
Ohio is swimming in mediocre, exceedingly bland sausages of all flavors! I did find some decent stuff at Dumas Meats.
if you do this to a dill pickle it will light up like a florescent lamp!
you’re shopping wrong.
The best I found was in Costco. It was a company out of Texas. Where do I go for this sausage you speak of?
