Hotdogs - Wife Feedback

[Buckeye1]

I agree with your wife. The one thing RT grills cannot do is put the proper sear on brats or dogs.

So Blackstone? SnS? What's the hotdog/brat go-to that's not RT?

I never owned a kettle/SNS, but my 36” Blackstone is a Rock Star

I been looking at em, but mostly wondering how to make them last. Mine is outside fully exposed to the elements and woodland creatures. If I put a cover on anything, I get mice nesting. Sigh.

I fire up the old gas grill.

How about one of these?

thats actually pretty dang awesome! also my favorite hot dogs are deep fried. crispy crunchy and juicy.

I’m not sure I understand the question here. If you wife likes hotdogs on a Weber gasser, you get another Weber gasser, end of discussion. Nobody else’s opinion matters.

I wonder if this works good!

My wife read this one and agreed. Sigh. Was hoping for quick fix solution. In my head I have Blackstone though.

I'll preface this next statement with I'm not a hippy and it's not a flex. I don't own any gasoline cars, only EVs. Every time I go to get 5 gallon gasoline for my mower, propane for my grill, etc in an EV I feel like everyone is laughing at me. I reaaaaaally don't want to go back to propane just so I don't look like a fool.

Just saw this new one in a Lowe’s by me the other day. I hear their fabric covers suck but a good aftermarket one should be fine.
Mine is outside for the past year and no issues.
I have the separate hard cover with mine. Would have loved the attached hard cover.

depending on your needs and space. walmart has a really cool mini blackstone that runs on the 1lb camping style bottles for $84. atleast with that your fuel will be hiden in a bag when approaching your ev. also i think charcoal would be funnier than clean burning propane getting into an ev.

For a flat top, I have a 3-burner Camp Chef FTG475. I think Camp Chef is better build quality overall than Blackstone


I love it for breakfasts, smash burgers, and big batches of fajitas.

Hotdogs on the flat top...good or no? That's the real question.

 

[chadinsc]

you can test it before buying by using a fry pan. i have done it and its very good. they get crispy

Are we talking those nasty skinless combo of pork and chicken or a real deal all-beef natural casing? If the later, then yes, a flattop works great. That's the way places like Nathan's cook them

 

[chadinsc]

totally agree with brettm on the nathens all beef! totally worth the extra couple bucks. i used to think of hotdogs as a crappy fast dinner when you forgot to lay something out that was fit to eat. now i always do hamburgers with beef chilli like im having tonight and nathen dogs with leftover chilli tomorrow

Absolutely good. Do them all the time on my blackstone

I had my 2 burner Weber for over 16 years, got the Blackstone and have not used that old Weber in a year..
