Critical Success Points

  • Cut the hot dogs at an angle without cutting all the way through.
  • First smoke until the cuts open.
  • Mix well with butter, sugar, and rubs so the glaze adheres.
  • Second smoke to caramelize the glaze.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the smoker carefully; the surface and gases can be extremely hot.
  • Melted butter is hot; avoid burns when mixing.
  • Use tongs to move the hot tray.
