Default Disappointed with Radix performance

I was back home celebrating my new times (posted in another thread) when it hit me- The Radix is nice and all, but...



If it can't cook 5 or 6 hotdogs I can't feed all my passengers in one sitting This thing blows!

Hurry up and make a bigger one!

SERIOUSLY, guys, for the price of this grill I don't think it's too much to ask to cook 6 hotdogs, too. Some would be happy with just the 14.6's but not me.

So did you just go make a few more passes to cook the extra required hot dogs? I heard the grille stays hot for over an hour with the engine off so you should have been able to Que up a few more after that first pass.

You know this has me thinking...

Maybe you could put FROZEN hotdogs on the grill eright before a pass. This should act like a Vortech Igloo cooler and keep the blower cold for better IATs off the line and by the time you make it down the reutrn road the dogs should be nicely plumped and ready for eatin. This would also reduce the risk of overcooking them.

Nah... the hotdogs roll off the top and get lost down on top of the skidplate. No one wants them after that. I guess I'll just keep grilling at home after the races the old fashioned way. For a minute there I thought the STS guys were on to something

I need to patent this... "THE H2 Grill" "Grills 'like nothing else'!" It's only a $4500-$5500 (depending on your dealer) option

I bet though, that is one of the fastest "small" cookers in the world.
