Joel Miller Cart

Hey Steve,

Thanks for getting back to me about the EcoTemp Hot Water Heater. I think that will be my next upgrade to my cart.

I got into the business back in the Fall of 2009 after being out of work for 18 months. While I didn’t build my cart on my own I have been following your Newsletter since I started investigating owning/operating a hot dog cart. I ended up buying a used TopDog Cart and have been very happy with it.

I started selling on our local campus, Mon-Fri but had to switch that strategy when I got a full-time job as I found it difficult to sell during the winter months. Now I operate seasonally, April – December, Sundays on the local bike trail, at festivals, and home games on campus. I also have started doing corporate catering as well.

When I am ready for cart #2 I will look to your hot dog cart plans as I now know what I would like in my next rig.

Thanks for all you do for us “hot-doggers”

Very nice rig Joel (see pics below), and what a great location!

New readers may not be aware of this but part time is a great way to go in the dog biz. If you do it right, you can make as much money slingin’ dogs on the weekends as you do in your “real” job.

It’s a great way to start, and you don’t necessarily EVER have to go full time if you don’t want to.

It’s also great insurance against the current shaky job market. If you get the axe on Monday, you can fire up the cart and be making money on Tuesday.

As Carl Spackler said in Caddyshack, “So I’ve got THAT going for me… which is nice.”
