How do you make a great hot dog?

Sweet100s

Maybe a silly question given how I see you all deftly turn out much more exotic plates, but..

What do you do to create a great hot dog on the egg? 

Philly35

Add ketchup and mustard.

Boil it in a Dutch oven.

I don't think we've had hot dogs since I got the egg, but I'd say, start with a high quality dog.

I don't care what you say but that is funny....

Paging @DyalSC, and his pulled pork topped hot dogs.

I don't any more. Extremely unhealthy! I used to use Pearl all beef franks (1/4 lb each) and split top rolls (buttered and grilled). Haven't had one in over a year.

Pulled pork, bomba, spicy brown mustard...

As mentioned an all beef Pearl or any 1/4 pounder beef one.

Wrap in bacon and cook indirect, awesome.

I typically just grill them direct and then put whatever toppings I'm in the mood for.  I have thrown some dogs on indirect as well while I was cooking other things and they turned out good, but I like to see some grill marks on them.  It somewhat comes down to your preference as to how they are cooked.  Some people like to split them open and burn em.  I personally like to keep the temp a little lower and try to keep the outside in tact.    

I agree it is best to start out with a good dog.  My usual go to is Nathan's famous.

Split open and well done. Topped with cheese.

That's funny yolk. Funny and true.

Now that expands my egging prowess.

Agree with @Carolina Q on the pulled pork and buttery split top buns. The split top buns alone make your hot dog 5x better IMHO. My go to dog is Nathan's 100% beef bigger than the bun. Here's a recent post I made:

I don't care how unhealthy that is, I want one of those now.
