Folks - This is a recipie that is pretty poular with my family. I thought I'd share it with the group:

Drown it. Then drag it through the garden.
I will give this a try!

Been doing the hot dogs on the WSM for almost 6 years now, and they are fantastic. I prefer Nationl Hebrew but these Bob Dawgs really sound good. Like a chili/taco dawg.

I am not a hot dog fan...but damn this looks great, and I will probably do it sometime soon.

Folks - The key to smoked hot dogs is to use the skinless type. They will absorb the smoke. I learned this the hard way. I'm doing these for Father's Day, since that is my holiday in the Famly Order of things. I'll post pictures and any mods to the recipie that weekend. Enjoy. - Bob

Yep, I'll be giving these a try.

Oh my gosh! Did the final run-through for the Father's Day party this afternoon. I'll post the tweaks to the sauce later this week, but there were Mmmmmmmm Good!
