Author Topic: The New Weenie Machine Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 08-17-2003 04:51 PM                     Since I am the official "Weenie Man" I thought you might like these pictures. We got a new weenie machine for Oak Harbor. The tray spins clockwise, and the weenies spin counter-clockwise. It is funny to watch when the weenies spin. It looks like a "weenie wave" very similar to the "finger wave" by the Protologists. By the response of some of the customers as well as employees alike, you can tell who the perverts are and whether or not they are "dirty old men" or "dirty old ladies." It has gotten a few giggles by those who have seen it in operation..... Anyway, you just simply insert the weenie in a spring and let 'er rip... Seriously, this is a good machine. It does not require extensive cleaning as the "weenie rollers" do as well as those twirlers that you harpoon the weenie with about 4 or 5 spikes. Those machines that spike the weenies are about as bad as Josh's track shoes.  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 08-17-2003 07:04 PM                        Interesting device. How long does it take to heat a weenie up to legal selling temperature (here that's 160°F to cook, and 140°F to hold)?  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

Like most restaurant equipment, as far as I know it has the certifications so it must be legal. It was built by Server Products, Inc. I think all of their equipment has NSF, UL, ULC, and CSA International certifications. This must be a the latest product they made. It is not on their website yet.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 08-17-2003 07:49 PM                  Paul, do those take AA or C batteries? That machine looks more like a display in a pharmacy... >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

He is 17, and why he is dorking around in the theatres, I'll never know. He is the one who is going to professionally restore some of the old radio cabinets I have.  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-17-2003 09:47 PM                        That's a great weenie machine! I've never seen anything quite like it. So how does it cook the upper half of the weenie if the coil only surrounds the bottom half? Do the weenies need to be flipped? Also, I don't think that your Nacho machine has enough chips. Better order more before you run out.  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 08-17-2003 10:24 PM                     How did I know Manny and Phil would post here?

From the comments so far, it looks like it has quite a bit of "entertainment value."  |  IP: Logged Peter Kerchinsky Master Film Handler Posts: 326 From: Seattle, WA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 08-18-2003 04:45 AM                     It must have been a rel slow weekend in Grays Harbor?  |  IP: Logged
