Cook Time 2 hours

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Packs Hot Dogs 16 dogs
  • 1/8 Cup Favorite BBQ Rub (I used Stubb's BBQ Rub) A dusting for the smoke
  • 4 Tbsp Butter
  • 1/2 Cup Dark Brown Sugar
  • 3/4 Cup Favorite BBQ Sauce (I used store brand) Heavy drizzle across the pan

Instructions
 

  • Preheat smoker to 225
  • Sprinkle the rub onto the hot dogs. Feel free to use a binder (mustard) to get the rub to stick - I had residual moisture and it worked okay.
  • Place on the grates for about 90 minutes, until they're looking dark and almost burnt.
  • Remove from heat, crank pellet smoker to 375.
  • Cut dogs into thirds, place into a half-pan. Slice up your 4Tbsp Butter stick and place around the pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar across the dogs and drizzle some BBQ sauce.
  • Place back into smoker for 30 minutes - giving the half-pan a stir every 10 minutes.
  • Remove and eat!
