Hotdogs - Wife Feedback

[Hilbe]

I got rid of my ancient Weber Genesis gasser when I got the bull and later got a bullseye. My wife complains she doesn't like how the hotdogs taste off the pellet grills - like wood she says. She says she always liked them on my old Weber. Suggestions on what to do. Do I buy another gasser? Is there some option to remove/minimize the wood flavor? Do I get a Blackstone?

Traditionally I use a competition blend of pellets and cook them on cast iron grates on the Bullseye at 500 or RIOT.

New wives are more expensive than a Blackstone or new Weber….so…

it's been 20 years and I think I'm outside of the return period.

Maybe turn the grill up to high temp, then turn it off until it stops smoking, then put on the hot dogs, which are are already cooked anyway. All they need is grill marks & heat.

Don’t cook hot dogs anymore.

Get a Blackstone, my family loves hot dogs cooked on the blacktop. They have some new griddles and specials going on now

my dad boils his, its not bad. i think thats how most of the food stands do it. you could also try to wrap them in foil tightly.

I use a small gas grill for hot dogs and such. Cost me only $95 and works great. Charbroil X200.

if you have a fire pit. you cant beat cooking them on a stick, great family time. but that will probably have an even more smokey woody flavor?

Yep, wrap hers in foil. Enjoy "your" smoke flavored

This may be the answer. She liked the char though... :/

If you acquired at Costco, they don't have a limit for returns.

Who would want to buy these in bulk?

Frying pan on the stove should give that sear/char.

Get a cast iron griddle or pan to fit in the grill. I find this is the best way to do hot dogs. Get the char on them, then wrap/cover to slow chance of smoke.

If I were to buy the griddle for the bullseye. Wouldn't the hotdogs still take on a wood taste?

who knows? get it and try it out. worst case you end up with a griddle. win win!

Some things you just need a good charcoal grill for. I recently added a SnS Kettle to the fleet and I love it! Many upgrades from a Weber Ketlle and I really like the slow n sear insert and the stainless drip pan that doubles as a skillet for direct cooking.
