    Hot Dog advice needed

    You're right! I will. Because I want to remember that next time I want to use smaller casings and perhaps smoke them a little less. I like the smoke but even using apple wood the smoke flavor is really strong. I think I would smoke them a little less and finish them in the oven or poach them.

    I think you were correct. They came out GREAT! Now, I used 25mm casings because I had that or 19mm. So, these are Mile Island Hotdogs, but they came out GREAT! Pictures! And THANK SO MUCH FOR THE ADVICE!!!!! I even took 4 and made fancy pigs in a blanket - puff pastry, gruyere cheese...

    Thanks for the tips! I've got them in my oven at 120 right now. I do like a little more smoke flavor so I might smoke them a bit, but under 170, which is about the lowest I can get my smoker to go in the summer heat. I only started smoking meat a year ago so my boyfriend bought me a used...

    I know you made this comment years ago but I snooped and see you're still active so decided to ask - does this shorten the cook time? I don't think I can get my smoker that low but I can get it to stay below 170. Would you think this strategy would work - dry them out in my oven at 120 (I...

    Oh, I actually did use that stuff. Forgot to include. I might try to hold off and smoke the dogs tomorrow. I'll stuff them tonight and let them sit. Maybe, in the interest of time, I will smoke the bellies this evening. Party isn't until 6 but I am just worried I will run out of time so...

    I know this is very old but I was looking for some tips to make hotdogs and found it. I am trying this recipe except half the prague powder and using garlic powder rather than fresh garlic. I've just ground up the meat with the fine plate and mixed in the salt, prague powder, and ice water...
