Ingredients

  • 8 hot dogs One pound - I used Angus all beef hot dogs. You can also use veggie dogs, turkey dogs, or your favorite type of hot dog.
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 hot dog buns I use potato or brioche hot dog buns.

Instructions

  • Place hot dog in a baking dish and coat with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Roll the hot dogs in the olive oil and seasonings to completely coat the hot dogs.
  • Fill the smoke tube with your favorite wood chips. I used cherry wood for this recipe.
  • Place the hot dogs in the preheated smoker and cook for 45 Minutes.
    This will give the hot dogs time to absorb delicious smoky flavor.
  • Remove the hot dogs from the smoker and place them on your favorite hot dog bun. I use potato rolls or brioche rolls.
  • Serve with your favorite condiments and toppings.

Notes

*This recipe can be made with veggie dogs, turkey dogs, or chicken hot dogs.
*Feel free to add your favorite seasonings to the hot dogs.
