Big Dog hot dog cart

[@Melelf00]

Maryland in the house. I'm in Baltimore, I just brought a cart. 👍😄

[@dontheideaguy]

Great cart walk-thru. Really enjoyed your insights on the cart. I just bought my BigDog Cart from Ben and appreciated seeing how you handled the areas that needed improvement. I would be interested in learning more about how you secure the tanks and if you ever figure out a more efficient way to replace that water heater -- I've been thinking about how to cut thru the shelf...

Great job ! Looks great ! Good luck with your Hot dog business !

[@lindalincicome4142]

Excellent video!! Love the wrap and the modifications you made.I have the Cash Cow hotdog cart…wish I had bought the Big Dog. It has more holding space. Any recommendations on how to modify the Cash Cow to add at least a “half pan” space plus a additional burner.

You made a good cart great! Good job!!!

[@beanpup1]

Great video very informative great job on the upgrades

[@mrbrisket6794]

Thank you I put a lot of time into it

[@ianscianablo8507]

How are you doing? I' never opened. I'm having welding done! Do you think I really need a water heater? My friend says because of the hot copper coil, which runs over the three burners, it's not terrible needed. Any thoughts? Thank you!

[@ianscianablo8507]

Since I have that same cart how is it possible to serve ice cream treats from that Big Cart Coleman cooler? Any thoughts? Ice cubes melt fast in that thing!

[@ianscianablo8507]

Been vending for 3 weeks now. This week three days. If you wanted to how could you sell frozen ice cream treats from your Big Dog Cart Coleman cooler? That would be a dream for me!

[@ianscianablo8507]

Hi. How is it going these days? Since we have the very same cart did you still keep the grill on the top like that? Any secrets to keeping the hot dog buns warm without getting hard? I was vending yest day and had to throw away 8 buns! They get hard. Even though I use that dome and nestled the buns between 2 sheets of foil in the perforated pan inside the spillage pan.

Looks great.❤ it

Are THOSE three flip tops the same size? What are they? Thank you! Putting it together. Step by step.

[@ianscianablo8507]

Hi! I wish I could see your cart at night time. I had to leave a very important Tractor Supply gig today. It's wing in upstate, New York. How do you keep your pilot lights on during a windy day? I tried and tried but could not keep my burners lit. I'm always loosing with this business.

[@ianscianablo8507]

Hi friend. Well....my brother, who is his own repair man, took hours to fit the new (yet MODIFIED) furl rod & new burners, from Hot Dog Store to my 13 yr old Big Dog Cart. But the 304 panel is fucked! It turned out NOT one of the three propane knobs matched-up to the three holes in the 304 steel panel. How do you keep the chilled condiment station chilled? I notice those ice blankets from Walmart are too thick and those mini pan wells are sticking out of those metal slots. What do you use? I have to keep the chilled condiment station chilled. I want to use it as intended. Any thoughts? Thanks.

[@ianscianablo8507]

Fuel rod.

[@Melelf00]

In Maryland, do we have to have a tag on the cart? I read and it didn't say so.

[@mrbrisket6794]

Check with the DMV online

[@ianscianablo8507]

Do you have a problem reigniting the pilots? Will your long handled torch reach into those holes without having to remove the steam table pans?

[@ianscianablo8507]

Any thing specific on that roll top? Need to know size. Where did you get perforated pan? Top Dog Carts don't sell them. Do I have to modify if I buy that roll top? I haven't placed my order for the pans yet. Concerned if Hot Dog Cart Store's perforated pan is compatible with the other Top Dog Carts lidded /hinged pans.

[@mrbrisket6794]

Any steam table peforated pan will work I use a 1/2 pan

Is it cheaper to build your own hotdog cart?

[@ianscianablo8507]

Can you please tell me how to order those pans? I have the Big Dog Cart too. I have to replace ALL my pans. My measurements are 38 " x 12". How do I know the flip top roll top will fit? What are the pans, full spillage pans sizes like? Thank you!

Top dog carts in Orlando Florida has the pans. The roll top is winch roll top from Amazon.

[@mrbrisket6794]

@@ianscianablo8507 all pans are standard steam table pans, I use a spillage pan, a hinged 1/3 pan and two, 1/4 hinged pans, and two divider bars. In the spillage pan I have a perferrated 1/2 pan 2 inches deep. The 1/3 and two 1/4 hinged pans are 6 inches deep.

Beautiful cart man!! Is that a wrap or did you paint it ?

[@mrbrisket6794]

I wrapped it in red chrome …… I restored it frame up

[@ianscianablo8507]

Hi. Is there ANY other place to put the water heater other than the bread box? ?

[@ianscianablo8507]

Hi! I have not opened yet and I make my own sauces. Any advice on preventing my chili , beans and coke/onions from overheating and getting gummed-up? I don't know how much control I will have on the propane units. Thank you!!!

[@ianscianablo8507]

Hey Mr. Brisket! My Big Dog Cart is now in the welder's shop. Question: Have u ever cooked the dogs, grill them and then put them in the steamer for holding? I ask because Michael, in another video does that. "Michael Explains Pan Set Up Hot Dog Cart" video Sept 2020. Want your opinion!

[@ianscianablo8507]

What dogs do you sell? I'm failing. I want to keep selling Sabrets but too costly.

[@tonianderson3425]

Do you need a commissary with this cart?

[@mrbrisket6794]

It all depends on the local laws

[@ianscianablo8507]

Hi! Is there a way to keep the propane tanks outside the cart? It's too dark under there. Can't see a thing!

[@mrbrisket6794]

Yeah just put them outside

[@ianscianablo8507]

@@mrbrisket6794 Did you? Put them beneath the chilled condiment side? I just got my mobile food permit. I'm wondering if THAT is cause me more trouble. How do you handle those propane tanks when their under the cart?

How do I clean the 304 stainless steel without destroying it? Can I remove the rust burners and put them in a bag with amonia? Any tips? I gotta open soon. Thank you!

Put your burners in a 3 gallon bucket of evaporust for a day, the stainless steel you can buy a burnishing buffer with wheels on eBay for about $90
