Hot Dog Roasts

We didn't have BBQ's, we called them hot dog roasts. We would build a fire and get a green branch for everyone to cook their own hot dogs. Afterward, we would use the same branch for roasting the marsh mellows. I feel that the charcoal and gas grills ruined the fun.
I always liked to burn everything so that it would have a black crust covering it, both hot dogs and marsh mellows. I also liked having them after dark. It just wasn't the same during the day.
