- Grill Tongs
- Basting brush (optional)
Ingredients
- 10 Hot Dogs preferably all beef kosher
- Your favorite BBQ sauce optional
Instructions
- Light or turn on your smoker and set up the temperature to 275°F. If using a grill, set up the burners or charcoal for indirect cooking.
Spiral Slice the Hot Dogs
- Place each hot dog on a cutting board. Hold your knife near one end at a 45 degree angle to the hot dog.
- Roll the hot dog forward while letting the knife run from one end of the hot dog to the other creating a spiral slice just slightly through the skin and into the hot dog.
- Repeat with the remaining hot dogs.
Smoke the Hot Dogs
- Add your wood chunks directly to the firebox of a smoker, or use chips in a smoker box, or pellets in a tube smoker on a gas grill.
- Once smoke is being produced, put your hot dogs in the smoker on the grates.
- Cook the hotdogs at 275°F for 40 minutes until hot and they have turned a darker brownish color.
- Optional: Brush with BBQ sauce about 15 minutes into the cook.
- Remove from the smoker when done and serve immediately.
