Have they improved the Hotdogger? The one I had years ago was real small and left a black residue on everything.
The base plates on the Muffpot do suck, the Hotpots suck too. Anyone come up with a good number for them?
Muff pot cooker keeps breaking

I used 2 marine grade hose clamps. They loosened maybe once in 3 years? I think this helped the base from cracking. I had mine on a 1150(lots of vibration) for 2 years and now the Dragon for one. It finally had to be replaced last month.
And the Hotdogger might basically do the same thing, ie cook. But IMO is not as good. It wears out faster due to it's lid design, I was lucky to get a year out of one. It does not seal as good as the MP and isn't as big. I've also been having better luck with getting things to crisp up in the MP.
Once you go MP you never go back.

I am going on 5 years with my muffpot, no troubles. I put safety wire on my hose clamp to keep it tight.

I break several muffpot bases a year, and I double clamp them.
I tried something new that seems to be working so far this season. I used a 1/4" die grinder and ground out the stress riser area where the bases always begin to crack. I rounded the edges of the 1/4" holes real smooth also, trying to eliminate any edges for the cracks to start. So far so good this season.

My gear clamp vibrates loose also. I ordered a turbo type clamp (same ones on my intercooler for the F250), I'll put it on tomorrow. It has a lock nut so once I get it tightened it won't vibrate loose.
