The New Big Dog Hot Dog Cart

[@JohnWilson01]

Hey Ben it's John Wilson. Still using my cash cow and had my biggest day not long ago at $1,243.00. I worked the cart by myself for 8 hours at a baseball field. Needless to say I was tired something fierce afterwards. I still plan on getting one of these big dogs soon. Love you brother!

[@BensCarts]

Hey John! Great to hear from you. Hope all is well, I'm so happy you rocked it.... $1243 is kicking butt. Thanks for sharing with me. - Love you man.

[@BensCarts]

Hey Daryl, thank you so much for the kind words and for helping us on iTunes.

[@DanHarville]

Picking up my BIG DOG tomorrow!

[@christinazaragoza2347]

Dan Harville Jr. may I ask how it went for you a year later? I shopping for a cart now and hope to be up and running in a couple of months.

[@stevewyatt513]

Just got the same one today

[@BensCarts]

Very kind of you. :)

[@BensCarts]

Are you talking about the condiment shelf on the back? If so, that is cooled with ice or gel packs. You can learn more at the site with full detailed descriptions for every feature.

[@abrahamnutrition]

I don't work for Ben's Carts nor get paid from Ben but this is a great cart! I don't think there is no better cart for the money. I am an ex vendor wanting to get back in the biz and have seen just about every cart out there.

[@kurbz31]

Not to bash on other people/companies, but last year i bought my first cart from willie dogs, and it has been problem after problem since, i know alot of people looking to get into the business watch your videos, you cant comment on the willie dogs videos (now i know why) but you can comment here, that says alot about your quallity.

[@clydecrump5280]

Nice video, Ben. I love my Big Dog cart; this is my second year using it.

[@vaipeterson2041]

Hey Ben, I’m in the process of applying for permits however, they require the inner and outer sizes of the water inlets, fresh water and waste water. I’ve tried looking through the site, brochure and schematics but can’t seem to find that info. If you can provide me with those dimensions that would be great thanks!

[@johnshaw9797]

So do you have to constantly step over the trailer tongue ?

[@BensCarts]

No. It slides out.

[@arcturusbbqsausagemaking2435]

Hey Ben (1)If I order a cart on say the 2nd of January How long until I can get the cart I'm in va (2) If I order the cart with a grill but my state don't allow it for vending on the streets but I want to do a private catering job and use the grill Is the grill removable or would that be a problem, (3) I haven't looked into it yet but I believe Va requires a refrigerator so You're refrigerator option would take care of that need Is that correct, I'm just trying to figure out my game plan and will be ordering a cart very soon

[@sandravaklez1270]

PLEASE HOW MANY QUARTZ IS THE COOLER INSTALLED IN YOUR BIG DOG CART ?

[@BensCarts]

Thank you! I hope you kick some but this year.

[@michaelstann3390]

Is the cooler refrigerated? I was told that when they do the inspection that the cooler must be kept at the right temperature. So if it's a regular cooler it would heat up over time. Without ice or ice packs. So that's my question is this a refrigerated cooler or just a cooler

[@BensCarts]

1. No 2. Most vendors vend about 3 hours in a day. A cooler on our carts will hold temp for 5 days. 3. Most our carts come with a powered fridge option: hotdogcartstore.com

[@kenni8124]

Hey Ben, what are the dimensions of the cart?

[@cesarbejarano7363]

Hello Dan, are these carts still available?

[@BensCarts]

Yes they are.

[@orlandoking8845]

Hey Ben I need some new pans for my big dog hot dog stand. Where can I get some?

[@BensCarts]

store.benscarts.com and also check out www.learnhotdogs.com/resources page for others.

[@thomaskulik2870]

I have a question Ben. I see you have the 5 condiment holders in the front. How do they stay heated or do they heat at all ?

[@happyinharned9583]

Thomas Kulik They are for cold condiments so people can dress their own dogs and you can sere dogs faster.

[@dexterbernard2701]

Ben, would this be considered a push cart or a mobile cart? I'm in California and they have fees for both. Thank you1

[@BensCarts]

Depends on their interpretation. It's truly either.

[@ginnynewman317]

Ben, I did the stupid thing. I forgot to put the front leg up. I hit a bump and my leg bent. How can I buy a replacement front leg? Thanks!

[@BensCarts]

Hi Ginny, email [e-mail]

[@TheBreeze2384]

Is this cart manufactured in the USA? If so, how deep is that process as far as USA made? Partially assembled here or frame up constructed?

[@BensCarts]

I've done videos on this several times but the trailer portion is manufactured in China to our specifications. The U.S. doesn't make wheel bearings anymore. The ones that say they do, aren't really manufacturing those. They are importing and putting together stateside. Our trailers our DOT approved. Once received we bolt and weld together and build out all above framing in our facility. However, all steel comes from overseas now, so we buy steel in huge rolls and run through a press to make flat sheets. Grills, heaters, battery, all made overseas. China to Philipines by way of Canada. As for now, Canada is the largest importer to US for steel but it all originates in Asia. So imagine building a dog house. You could say it's US made but all the wood likely came from Mexico if pine. Although you built it. Hope that helps.

[@dixiehandyman]

@@BensCarts thanks for the reply. You've done a million videos and I've watched a bunch, just haven't seen that one yet.

[@BensCarts]

No problem. It's overwhelming and doing a search doesn't always find what you're looking for. I tried to find the last video I did about China and manufacturing and couldn't but I know there are at least 3.

One chain? Did you call Keith?

[@ralphandnick]

Hey Dan, can you make burgers from a hot dog cart?

[@BensCarts]

Yup, there are vendors doing it. Some states don't allow it though.

[@ovenbaked1995]

roughly how many hotdogs can this cart contain?

[@BensCarts]

About 16 different variables to consider. Like how big of a hot dog, how many pans in use, boiling or steaming or just holding hot... etc.... But maximum is about 220 hot dogs assuming you used every pan. On the blog at www.LearnHotDogs.com there are over 800 articles, videos, podcasts, classes and tutorials all free for the taking. Feel free to browse the site and enjoy all that is there. It's why I do what I do. On the right hand column you will find a search box. Type in the word or topic you are searching for. You will most likely be presented with several articles, videos or audio recordings on the subject you have searched. I hope this helps and if you don't find what you're looking for, let me know and I'll be happy to help further.

You need to have a catering truck now days in order to be legally permitted to serve the public.

[@BensCarts]

In what state Chase? We've got 100's of vendors catering with truck, nor cart.
