Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat. Prepare your smoker for indirect cooking by preheating it to 225 degrees F. 
  • Season. Slather the hot dogs with yellow mustard and season all over with the Sweet Rub.
  • Smoke. Place the seasoned hot dogs directly on the grill grates, close the lid, and smoke for 1 hour.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Enjoy! Remove the hot dog burnt ends from the smoker to a serving platter. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
