Hotdogs - Wife Feedback

[Hilbe]

Wife just told me charcoal is ok. Guess I might add a small weber kettle to the lineup, unless you guys got a good charcoal recommendation for hot dogs.

You might look at some of the "hibachi" type grills. They are very portable and are great for steaks, chops, fish, and kabobs.

This has to be the funniest topic that I have seen on this forum. 4 pages on how to cook a hotdog. Just cracks me up. Good luck @Hilbe with whatever you decide. Must keep the wife happy.

It's not about hotdogs...it's about what you said at the end of your post.

Cook them fast and hot on the sear grates?...put small scores diagonally across them.

I'm reading and chuckling too. . The comment about buying in bulk at Costco... No way I can afford wives in bulk!

Anyways, if the final answer here is to spend 30 minutes getting a charcoal grill up to temp that will cook hotdogs in 6 minutes, I would likely rethink the plan. Propane is cleaner than the coal it took to make the electricity for your EV. I'm all for improving the environment, but don't over think it. Get a propane grill (it's not gas) and enjoy grilling some food and smoking others.

the weber kettle is a classic that will be for sale as long as we are alive! cant go wrong with them. but if your wife liked them off your weber gasser i say get a weber gasser. i was just looking them up, the q series is small and portable and would be good for on the go and small cooks. now the spirt e210 looks really promising also. the side shelf’s can be folded down for a great small footprint grill for searing and for cooking hotdogs.

I love a good kettle grill. Had a weber forever and recently upgraded to a SNS.

If you want a little one, get a tabletop Weber Smokey Joe.

Take a look at the Jumbo Joe if you want a small portable charcoal. Pick up a better SS 18" grate when the original cheesy one rusts. The Smoky Joe was too small for us but if its just for dogs, go for it.

If most folks knew what “parts” some of those store bought hot dogs are made of, they probably wouldn’t bother to eat them anyway..

my dad always said it was made with lips and butt holes lol. i don’t care, aslong as they taste good.

Yes...I meant to say Jumbo Joe.

Depends on what kind you are buying. I generally go for the natural casing ones made by local meat shops around here.

I think it's great to make something delicious out of scrap.

Been looking at the ones that collapse down. Might be nice to use for camping.

Yeah. What is "meat byproduct"? Eeeeeew

I think this little gas grill should get'er done.

Might be cheaper to get a new wife.

When you ask smoker guys to recommend a gasser...never know what you'll get.

On Tuesday I mentioned the only opinion that matters and here it is Sunday already.

you could slip so liquid smoke into alot of her favorites. maybe coffee creamer, toothpaste or something she uses daily and over time she will become desensitized to the flavor and will enjoy hot dogs off the bull. you will have to start her off with low doses and slowly work up. but if you go to far she will force you to get a stick burner, use caution.
