A new hall of famer? I think so. HDCN reader and HotDogProfits.com customer Cory Lawrence sent me some pics of his newly finished hot dog cart that really blew me away. There are a few side serve E-Z Builts that have become reader favorites, most notably Jason Thurston’s Campfire Grill, Lee Vestal’s Checkers Street Grill, and of course Larry Helveston’s Dogs on the Run. You can check out photos of these “E-Z Built Hall of Famers” in the photo gallery. I’m sure Cory will be joining the ranks of these famous EZ builders as soon as you see his pictures below.

Hello Steve,

I finished up my cart last week, and wanted to pass along the results to you.  I must stress, that I am not a carpenter, plumber, or electrician, so the fact that this cart turned out the way it did is a testament to your video instructions.  A friend and I had purchased a Carts of Colorado cart (complete with soda fountain) last fall.  We use it for church events in the community.  I started researching hot dog carts to help us figure out the best way to use our cart.  In the process, I learned about the E-Z Built plans that you offer, and decided that I would give it a try.  I have included pictures for you to share as you please.

As it turns out, as soon as the components for the cart began to be delivered, my place of employment decided to downsize.  I along with a few others lost our jobs when they decided to eliminate the aerospace division.  Now what do I do?  Finish that cart!  I’ve been behind a desk for over ten years, and I am so ready to be out in the community with PEOPLE!  My start date is Monday June 18th.  Wish me luck.

My friend and I have also decided to sell the Carts of Colorado cart so that I can have a way to help supplement our start-up costs and support my family.  I am sending some pictures of this cart as well.  We’ve already used it a couple of times this year, and it is licensed by the Missouri State HD.  As you can see in one of the pictures, we had quite a crowd at Wal-Mart.  This may be exactly what someone is looking for.  Let me know if you would post this in the “Used Carts” section Steve.  I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks again for the support and easy to understand instructions.  Next time you are down my way, stop in for a free O’Doggy’s Dog.

P.S. I am amazed at the dogger community!  Everyone has been incredibly helpful and encouraging.

Wow Cory – you did a totally awesome job on your E-Z Built Hot Dog Cart. I’m glad you found it so E-Z to build 🙂

Attention to detail really makes the difference between a nice cart and a super nice cart. It’s worth spending a little extra time making sure everything is just right because a super nice cart sells more hot dogs. It just makes you look that much more polished and professional when you hit the streets. Good job on that!

Sounds like your timing couldn’t have been better. Sorry to hear of your layoff, but everything happens for a reason. I am 100 percent confident that you will love your new career and the lifestyle of freedom that comes with it. That’s why I call hot dog vending the “funnest” job in the world. It truly is.

Electric cart for sale. I’m also including the photos of your electric Carts of Colorado rig. I’m sure one of my readers will be interested in it. We’ll also put it in our used hot dog cart classified section. I’ll have Alyssa contact you to get the details.

Good luck on your opening day Cory. Not that you’ll need it with a cart like that!!!

P.S. By the way, if any of you readers are moving up (maybe you’ll be building a side serve E-Z Built Hot Dog Cart after seeing Cory’s) and have a used hot dog cart for sale,  we can list it for free.
