In this project, I'll show you how to make an itty-bitty outdoor BBQ from leftover beer or soda cans. It's the perfect summertime hack if you don't have a grill and are cooking for a small group of people—one bratwurst at a time. You can grab the wire grill template here.

I was amazed at how well this thing really works. I lit two coal briquettes in a separate metal container, let them burn until the outsides turned white, then transferred them to the Bitty-Q. Then I put a couple of bratwurst on the grill and came back 10 minutes later to find them perfectly grilled and mouthwatering.
