Hot Dog
Fire up the grill. I stoked the Traeger Timberline 1300 with Royal Oak Charcoal and fired it up to 325℉.
Add binder and seasoning. I laid the hot dogs on a baking sheet and drizzled mustard over the top. I rubbed the mustard in so the seasoning would stick. Then, I added a layer of Heath Riles BBQ Competition Rub, coating all sides of the hot dogs.
Grill the hot dogs. Once the hot dogs were seasoned, I laid them on the Traeger Timberline 1300. I let the hot dogs cook for 30-35 minutes until nicely browned.
Chop and sauce. I took the hot dogs off the grill and cut each weenie into five pieces. Then, I laid them in an aluminum pan to sauce. I topped the hot dog pieces with light brown sugar, Checkered Pig Competition Sauce, and Heath Riles BBQ Sweet BBQ Sauce.
Finish and serve. I tossed everything to ensure it was coated, then set the pan on the grill for another 30-45 minutes. After I removed the Hot Dog Burnt Ends, I added a toothpick to each one and served them. Bon appetite!
