Spiral cut hot dogs!!

You can see a short video about it @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyieI2bxyIk

Will never smoke hotdogs any other way. I use Double ranch beef hotdogs from snake river farms.


I smoke my hot dogs on the big green egg around 250f with pecan chunks on indirect heat and wait until they get a bit of char going.

I need to try that. People love the split end technique.

Those are good, my kids love these.

he looks happier than i think he should be...

Holy Cow, you even did it with correct anatomy.

[fracmeister]

What is the correct anatomy for a hot dog?

[fzxdoc]

How cute is that, _John_ ! Char them enough and they'll be like an edible Ursula in Little Mermaid.

ImmersionFD I had spiral hot dogs in August and really liked the extra surface area for the burn/crunch factor. Never thought to smoke them, though. Usually they go on my gasser. Time to rethink that paradigm.

K, I'm with you. Usually the gasser and GG's

Amazing, I love hot dogs, they are one thing I will never ever grow out of.

Don't ever tour a hotdog factory then.🙈

I like to use a dry rub when I cook these.

[cmcmaughan]

Definitely going to give it a try.

I clicked on your link and read the text. I can imagine it's would be fun to do for my grandkids but the pictures did not open.

[Hangman]

My grand kids love these, been doing 'em for years...

[Medusa]

Great Post! ImmersionFD, UFB!

[Medusa]

So I finally watched the video - cool trick. But ketchup on the dog?!??! OMG!<!@

[Meathead]

Great strategy. I talk about them in my book.

[JohnF]

Boy am I glad this did not turn into a "You never put Cetchup on a Hot Dog" Rant after the video

When I was little, my Mom had hot dogs but only hamburger rolls. She cut them on one side rather than the full spiral. When she broiled them, they curled into a circle, which she then served to us on the hamburger rolls. Proving that no good deed goes unpunished, we insisted on having them that way for about a year.
