Hot dog fork holder/carrier
I made this simple little doodad awhile ago, but finally got around to telling the world.
The "hot dog forks" here are the long-handled, two-pronged roasters for cooking hot dogs or s'mores or whatever over a campfire. My forks have a single extension, and are about 20" or so collapsed. They're typical of the ones that you might find in the random seasonal junk section of your favorite grocery store, which is incidentally where I found mine.
Carrying them around is a bit of a hassle because they're a bit long and skinny, limiting where they can be put, and they have rather sharp pointy ends that catch on stuff, and sometimes get kind of cruddy with junk from the marshmallows.




This is just a length of 2" PVC pipe with a cap on one end and a threaded cleanout on the other end. I put a 1/8" hole in the middle of the pipe cap to ensure ventilation so the cap wouldn't get stuck on with a vacuum or something similar. It may be unnecessary.
Four roasting forks fit neatly in the carrier. Six would probably fit if half were put in backwards.
