CeramicChef Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 So, Hogsfan, exactly what have you planned for the initial cook after the burn in? You know you can always sear off some great ribeyes or NY strips after that burn in, right? Looking forward to seeing this. What a gorgeous KK! That blue is something else!

Hogsfan Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Hogsfan - you're quite welcome! It's no big deal. Hogs, that's one beautiful KK! I notice that you have the single dial vent on the bottom. Did you consider the dual dial manifold? You mean as an upgrade? No, I thought it was a Big Bad thing.

I just now received the owners manual with the instructions for the burn in. I had been waiting for that so I hadn't really thought about what to cook first. My folks are in town and my dad wants to cook hot dogs. He can't resist the humor of cooking the cheapest cut of meat on the worlds nicest charcoal grill. lol.

Poochie Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Nothing wrong with a good grilled hot dog. I've cooked several batches of those on mine and they're always good. You'd have plenty of room for wings or burgers or another friend of the hot dog! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeramicChef Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Hey, I've done Tube Steak many times on both Beauty! & TheBeast. There are few things better than a good old chili dog! At many of my parties where kids attend, I use Beauty! for kids duty. She's quite well behaved and the kids cook their own hot dogs and burgers under adult supervision. They just love manning the tongs! Hogsfan - I love your Dad's sense of humor! He sounds like quite a guy. Enjoy that Tube Steak cook! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedStick Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Hot dogs are MUCH better grilled in my opinion. It's quite a lengthy process to fire up a Kamado for just a few dogs, but worth every second. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedStick Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 I'll boil hot dogs during a crawfish boil for the kids that don't eat crawfish. I admit, I'll eat a couple of those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeramicChef Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 My dear Mom boiled dogs. She liked 'em that way and until I got old enough to be trusted with the Weber Kettle, when Dad wasn't home we ate boiled hot dogs. I hate boiled dogs. Give me a grilled dog every single time! Funny story. When my son was about 4 years old, he only wanted to eat hot dogs. Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner. Snacks. That was it, hot dogs. And the dogs were boiled! I decided him eating nothing but hot dogs was going to end. So Joe is sitting there at the table, packing back the hot dogs. Joes stabs another piece of hot dog and I ask "Hey Joe! You know what hot dogs are made from?" Joe shakes his head no. I tell him "They're made from assholes and eyeballs!". Joes fork hit the plate and he has never had another hot dog! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poochie Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 My grandmother used to boil hot dogs for us. She'd get the cheap kind that turn the water pink while they're boiling. Not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRippley Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I love hot dogs, boiled, grilled, fried, pink, uncooked,....it doesn't matter...I don't even care what they are made of, sad but true!😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Learned this technique to grilling dogs and like the way that they come out. Run a wooden skewer down the center of the dog all the way through. Now lay the dog on your cutting board. Take a sharp knife and holding it steady at a 45 degree angle to the skewer (OK, you don't have to be that precise, but hey, I'm an engineer!), cut into the dog about 1/2" from one end until you hit the wooden skewer. Then roll the dog under the knife, so you are making a nice spiral cut into the dog. Remove the skewer and now your hot dog should look like a Slinky. This provides lots of surface area to crisp up on the grill and for holding condiments and/or chili. OK, one picture (or video in this case) is worth a thousand words - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
