Hot Dog Burnt Ends are a unique twist on traditional burnt ends, featuring jumbo all-beef hot dogs smoked to perfection and caramelized with a sweet BBQ glaze.

Ingredients

16 hot dogs

Yellow Mustard:

2 Tablespoons

2 Tablespoons (recipe link in notes section)

Butter:

4 Tablespoons

Brown Sugar:

1/4 cup

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Prepare your smoker for indirect cooking by preheating it to 225 degrees F.
  2. Season: Slather the hot dogs with yellow mustard and season all over with the Sweet Rub.
  3. Smoke: Place the seasoned hot dogs directly on the grill grates, close the lid, and smoke for 1 hour.
  4. Braise: Remove the hot dogs and slice them into 1.5-inch pieces. Place the hot dog pieces into a disposable baking pan. Top with the butter, brown sugar, and BBQ sauce.
  5. Finish smoking: Increase the heat on your grill to 375-400 degrees F. Place the pan of hot dog burnt ends on the grill and cook for an additional 15-30 minutes, stirring regularly, until the butter is melted and the sugars have started to caramelize on the hot dogs.
  6. Enjoy: Remove the hot dog burnt ends from the smoker to a serving platter. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
