Mmmmm..... hot dogs. :D
Sorry, Charlie, but this old boy believes that hot dogs should be steamed.
The grill is for sausages with natural casings. I don’t care for that burnt faux skin casing on ‘hot dogs’.
To each his own, but make mine a steamed dog, nitrate-free, kosher & grass-fed, please.
I worked the beach crowd at Atlantic beach N.C.for a time many years ago. Steamed buns(small steamer box), runny chilli, and stainless steel roller grill was the cat’s meow. Options were diced onions, ketchup, mustard, relish. Sold hundreds of them. The stainless roller grill was the ticket, easily cleaned and produced a lot in a short period od time. There are non stick versions of those now, forget that nonsense. The steamer box held around ten at a time.
It was a productive operation. I made Johnny Rivers a couple of hot dogs once.
