Pine Cone Glizzies

Ingredients

• 6 units Costco‑style hot dogs (Hot or at room temperature)
• 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard (Acts as a binder for the rubs)
• 3 tablespoons Heath R's Apple Rub (Sweet apple‑based rub)
• 3 tablespoons Killer Hog's Rib Rub (Sweet rib rub)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (Melt before mixing)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (Adds sweetness and aids caramelization)
• 2 tablespoons Killer Hog's Vinegar Sauce (Provides the characteristic tangy bite)

Instructions

1. Cut the hot dogs

   Place the hot dogs on the board and cut each one at an angle without cutting all the way through, then rotate the board 90° and repeat the cut to create a lattice.

   Time: PT5M

2. Apply mustard as a binder

   Spread a thin layer of yellow mustard over the hot dog cuts.

   Time: PT2M

3. Season with the initial rubs

   Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of Apple Rub and 2 tablespoons of Rib Rub over the hot dogs, making sure to fully cover the cuts.

   Time: PT3M

4. First smoke

   Place the hot dogs in the smoker at 250°F (120°C) and smoke until the cuts begin to open, about 1 hour and 30 minutes.

   Time: PT1H30M

   Temperature: 250°F

5. Cut into bite‑size pieces

   Remove the hot dogs from the smoker and cut them into 2‑3 cm pieces.

   Time: PT5M

6. Mix with butter, sugar, and rubs

   In the disposable aluminum tray, place the pieces, add 1 extra tablespoon of Apple Rub and 1 extra tablespoon of Rib Rub, 4 tablespoons of melted butter, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of Vinegar Sauce. Mix well so everything is coated.

   Time: PT5M

7. Second smoke

   Return the tray to the smoker at 250°F (120°C) and smoke for another hour so the glaze caramelizes and the flavors meld.

   Time: PT1H

   Temperature: 250°F

8. Serve

   Remove the tray from the smoker, let rest for 2 minutes and serve hot. The glizzies look like pine cones and are juicy and flavorful.
