After falling in love with home-ground brisket burgers, I just knew all beef brisket dogs would be phenomenal. Followed Len Poli Hot Dog (frankfurters) recipe made with all fresh ground brisket. Didn't take too many pictures but the final product was VERY successful!

5 lbs of grind with medium plate, seasoned, mixed and reground with fine plate. In hind sight I should have ran it through the Ninja for a finer emulsion, but this was ok too. I stuffed in Hog casings (cuz I don't like small wiener to bun ratio.) Linked and into the convection oven to dry for a bit while the Masterbuilt warmed up to 180'. Threw in a handful of cherry chips in the chip loader. This was one of the rare occasions I use wood chips in my MES anymore. These only get a kiss of smoke. I pulled them when the IT hit 160 and cooled them off in an ice bath, Dried them off and ready to eat and package up.

I will be making these again! Perfect flavor profile I want, I just need the texture more where I want.

Man those look awesome! I don't know that I tried Len Poli's hot dog/frankfurter recipe. I have tried at least 3 others and have been underwhelmed by them as none of them have held a candle to LEM's Cured Frank seasoning.

Great work! :)
 
Ah man those look great. I haven't ever gotten around to making my own hot dogs but if I did brisket dogs sound like the way to go. Love doing brisket burgers
 
Looks good . Did you use phosphates ? Looks like you ran them 180 start to finish ? You got nice color on those , inside and out .
If they shrink / wrinkle to much after the ice bath a dip in simmering water plumps them right back up and gets rid of surface grease if any . 60 seconds or so .
Nice work .
 
Those Look Fantastic, BEV !!
I could handle a couple right now!!
Nice Job!

Point for sure

Thank you. These sure were fun to make!

I know what you mean. I have other commercial mixes too that fell short. This one from Len was recommended to me by another member here. They were right! I haven't tried the LEM seasoning though.

Absolutely! I like polish which are traditionally pork but for beef this is the one for me!

Looks great.

Thanks! I've got a hankering for a couple of them tonight and see how they are after a rest.

Man those dogs looks great, makes me hungry.

They did get a nice color. I really like cherry for that. These are from home made cherry chips out of my chipper.

Yes, and yes. And thank you. They did turn out nice looking. I'm going to poach some to reheat tonight for dinner to try that. Phosphates go in all my grinds now as well as injections.

nice, looks delicous

Thanks Jim. They are quite tasty.

Oh Bear... I think you might know your way around a hot dog or two... I would happily share. Its ALMOST like a sandwich!
Thank you.

Darn good idea, would have never thought of a brisket dog....but they do look good.

LIKE!

Thanks John. Brisket was a winner for me in my book! I'm sure you would like them too.

It's going to be a Hail Mary from here.... CATCH!

Thanks y'all for the likes. Much appreciated.

I got home late yesterday and had a snack before bed. three snacks to be exact. I just quickly poached them. Didn't have any hot dog buns but Texas Toast works. Couldn't decide on toppings so I had to mix it up. One with my home-made horseradish Dijon mustard, the second with my Jalepeno Sriracha and catsup, and the third with mayo and sweet onion. Washed it down with a Ninkasi Oatmeal (Otis) Stout. I slept good!
