Are you looking for a DIY project this Labor Day weekend? Wrap up your summer by cooking with this mini charcoal grill, made from a repurposed Altoids tin.
The micro-grill uses a tiny Altoids Sours tin and two small metal computer fan guards built by Instructables user vmspionage.
The Sours grill is powered by a standard-sized charcoal briquette and is capable of cooking wee hamburgers, tiny s’mores or a full-size hot dog, as long as you cut it down to size. Find out how to build it HERE.

The Royal Mail has developed the world’s first “intelligent” stamp that works with your smartphone to bring you hidden messages. The Great British Railway stamps launch a video of British actor Bernard Cribbins reading W.H. Auden’s 1936 poem “The Night Mail” when scanned. Interested users can download the free augmented reality app Junaio (available in the iTunes store and Android market) to open the video.
“Royal Mail’s special stamps mark key events and anniversaries in the UK’s heritage through a program which aims to be both educational and informative,” Royal Mail Stamps spokesperson Philip Parker said in statement. “Through Intelligent Stamp technology, our stamps will open up to a whole new world of information, interest and fun to collectors and the millions of people who will receive them on letters in the coming months alike.”
