Who says you can't smoke Hot Dogs??
I cross cut the dogs then covered with mustard and Jeff's rub. One dog was coated with worchestershire sauce to see if there was a difference in taste. The cross cutting pattern allows the meat to open up during the smoke and allow better penetration of the smokey flavour. I use mesquite for the strong tasting dogs. My small Cobb cooker will hold about 8 dogs but I am only doing 4 this time. One and a half hours in the smoke, then paint with BBQ sauce about 10 minutes from the end of the smoke.
My world famous BBQ sauce .... I really did make it from scratch perfected over about 5 years of trial and error. I love the stuff.

The roaring fire of 7 briquettes needed for the hour and a half long smoke. On top of the coals is a tuna tin used for holding the mesquite chips. The Wood needs only one replenishment about ½ way through

Starting the Smoke

 
Showing the cut pattern on the Hot dogs you can see how by doing that you get a smokier dog.

Little Cobb Cooker tucked inside the bigger green smoker to ward off a light snowfall and a slight wind.

Top on the bigger smoker keeps the snow and rain off and the wind out. Plus you get more heat out of the 7 briquettes that way. Snug as a bug in a rug.

Almost done, ready for a layer of BBQ sauce to be painted on for caramalization.
 
If you smoke em low and slow about 3 hours at 210f they become really tender and tasty as all get out. I am usually too impatient and smoke them about 1 1/2 hours. The cobb has a built in water pan and acts just like any other smoker. It takes 5-7 briquettes or an equivilant amount of lump.With lump it gets to about 275 with briquettes about 240-250f
 
It never stops amazing me what folks will stick in a smoker. I will have to see what a few Hebrew Nationals taste like after a couple of hours. Thanks for the idea.
 
Just to brag them up a bit, I have 4 brothers in law and 5 sisters in law. out of the 9 of them 2 bro's and 2 of the girls will take the dogs over ribs any ole day of the week. They are that good.
 
We smoke them and Earl Campbell hotlinks .. Man you talk about good smoked ...
