Max Fosh's barbecue is loud enough to bring a neighbouring warehouse worker over to investigate. Getting it to cook a sausage proves rather less straightforward.
In "I Turned A Jet Engine Into A BBQ (feat. I Did A Thing)", Fosh visits Australia to enlist Alex, the maker behind I did a thing, for an unusually noisy sausage sizzle. The collaboration has drawn about 608,000 views since yesterday, with viewers picking out the novelty of Fosh becoming the comparatively cautious member of the partnership.
First, he needs a welding lesson. A workshop tour gives way to metal prongs and a grill frame, with an extra step inserted into the on-screen plan: learn how to weld. Alex, meanwhile, identifies a practical concern of his own: "The only thing that's stupid is that I have bare feet."
Aleksa from Boy Boy joins the build, and the contraption travels on a truck bed to an industrial space for testing. The first blast attracts attention. The first cooking attempts are less successful: sausages placed on the front prongs and above the heat chamber remain raw inside.
Eventually, putting them directly into the engine produces charred sausages in 32 seconds. Aleksa cuts into one and declares it cooked; Fosh gets the result he came for. This is a comedy stunt, not a conventional barbecue demonstration, and the video includes a sponsored segment for a mobile-data service.
The unlikely pairing is a recurring subject in the comments. Viewers familiar with Alex's inventions describe this as fairly ordinary workshop business for him, while others point out how unusual it is to see Fosh playing the straight man. Outside, the noise has attracted curious locals, giving the team a queue for its jet-engine lunch.
