Adam from X-Laser sent in this important last-minute Fourth of July tip for those of you who have laser cutters nearby at your BBQ:

We used an Epilog Helix 35W, I found that the sweet spot for hot dogs was 1200DPI, 14% speed and 100% power. We had less success rastering ground beef though, it seems to be better suited for vector engraving.

Really? Cheap ass-sausages on a BBQ? Worse yet, skinless ones? A better use for the laser cutter in conjunction with summertime foodstufs would be to have individual steaks branded with instructions for your friendly BBQuistador – Might I suggest phrases such as MEDIUM, CREMATED, BLOODY, BARELY BLUE, and STILL SQUIRMIN’?
