JimsShip Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 My wife found this gadget in a magazine and thought it would be something i'd like to make, and although I like the idea in general, (and I do think it's within my forging abilities) I can't help but think that the "hook" apparatus would get incredibly hot. I mean, how would you remove the marshmallow or hot dog without getting burned? Seems to me there'd be a lot of S'more related injuries! Has anyone ever seen or used something like this? Here's a site that sells them and has a little video of them in use:http://www.almanac.com/product/fire-fishing-pole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 shoot; take 6 pieces of 1/8" steel wire about a foot to 16' long and a short piece to stick in the middle. Clamp about 4" from one end with a small hose clamp and forgeweld the end and forge out into a hook and then close the hook. Remove the clamp and twist the bundle as much as you like leaving about 6" *un*twisted at the bottom. Fold those ends out radially and point the ends. You now have a pretty weiner/marshmallow roaster to be dangled from a pole.... Around these parts we use election sign wire for such things after the election's over.

ThorsHammer82 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 our friends busted out one of those for roasting marshmallows at a camping trip. Needless to say, the good old fashioned stick prevailed yet again. Now if I could have found my telescoping rotating roasting sticks It would have been a more crushing defeat than it was with the stick, but still.

JimsShip Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Yeah, It's a good idea in theory, but I think i'll stick to something like this: This is a nice way to practice those forge welds! (It's pretty but probably hard to store!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
