📝 Ingredients

• 8 Whole jumbo beef hot dogs
• 4 Tablespoon Traeger 'Que BBQ Sauce
• To Taste Traeger Perfect Pork Rub

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1When ready to cook, preheat your grill to 225°F, if available, use super smoke.
2. 2Using a sharp knife, cut diagonal slits every half inch or so into the top of each hot dog. Then, turn 180 degrees and cut more slits to make a crosshatch or diamond pattern. Flip the dogs over and repeat on the opposite side. The slits will allow the dogs to expand and take on more smoke without splitting.
3. 3(Optional step for extra flavor) Drizzle your dogs in Traeger Que BBQ Sauce, tossing to coat. Sprinkle each with Perfect Pork or your favorite rub.
4. 4Place the dogs directly on the grill grates and smoke for 45 minutes, flipping after the first 20 minutes.
5. 5When the hot dogs are done smoking, serve hot with your favorite hot dog fixings, see our [Sonoran-Style Hot Dog](https://www.traeger.com/recipes/sonoran-style-hot-dog), or [Grilled Chicago Hot Dog](https://www.traeger.com/recipes/chicago-style-hot-dogs), for inspiration.
