Notes
- Cook time may need to be adjusted depending on the size of the hot dogs that you are using. Adjust accordingly.
- Keep that smoker lid closed—every peek drops the heat and the delicious smoke flavor.
- A wireless meat thermometer makes checking temperature a breeze.
- Try sprinkling a bit of garlic powder or mustard powder on your buns before toasting.
- Use a sheet pan to transfer hot dogs so you don’t lose any to the grass.

- Get creative with your condiments—try sauerkraut, banana peppers, or even a squirt of sriracha.
