I was answering a question that many of us ponder every day: could you cook sausages using a model rocket engine? Now that I had everything set up in my carefully-controlled outdoor laboratory [read Part 1 here], it was time for the real meat of the experiment.
The Experiment
As you can see, the experiment was a hot and smoky success. There were no unplanned explosions, burnt fingers, or accidental electrocutions from my truck battery. The sausages went from almost completely frozen to Cajun-style extra crispy in a matter of seconds. However, the smell coming off these things could be likened to a chemical plant accident next door to a pig farm.

Once again, I have uncovered the answer to my original question, and to many others as well. I learned that model rocket engines have a parachute ejection charge that will hurl the rocket out of any improvised housing you may devise. I discovered that no matter how much I tried to explain it to my dog, he couldn't understand why he couldn't eat the results. Finally, I learned that a rocket engine will cook your sausage, but you would have to be crazier than I am to eat it.
No, I wasn't going to bite it! That's maniacal laughter.

Well, which is it? The first sentence, or the second one?
And what do you serve with those things? Napalm chipotle?
