Hot Dogs

 
A long time ago I saw a post from madmax where he and some others were cooking pearls on the mini. They put some surface slices in the top and bottom of the tube steaks to allow the smoke aroma penetrate into the meat. That made a big difference and I have done it that way ever since.

I use a raised grid (or low lump level). About 350° until I like the looks. Usually 7 to 14 minutes with some rotating of the grid and turning of the dogs.

I say tube steaks because that's how good they come out.

If you want to kick it up a little make a sauce,
1 part ketchup
1 part mayo
You want a nice (more pink than red) mix.

Let the kids give it a taste, I will bet they will love it.

Now if you to jazz that up a little more add a small amount of sweet pickle relish - this will make a McDonald's Big Mac Special Sauce. Add the relish to taste but I am thinking 1/4 to 1/2 part - go small at first as the relish can easily take over the flavor.

Don't forget the cheese.

Have fun with the kids, they will love them.

I save my cruddy lump (the stuff from the bottom of the bags) for hot dogs and put it in my fire pit. Give the kids or adults a stick and let them go at it.
