- Total Time: 1 hour 35 minutes
- Yield: Serves 8 to 12
Ingredients
- 12 hot dogs
- 2 tablespoons spicy brown or yellow mustard
- 3 tablespoons barbecue rub
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your smoker to 225 F
- Slather your hot dogs with mustard and then sprinkle on the barbecue rub.
- Place the hot dogs on the smoker and let them smoke for about an hour.
- Remove the hot dogs and slice them into pieces about 1 to 1.5 inch pieces. Place the hot dog pieces in a disposable aluminum pan and top with the butter, brown sugar, and barbecue sauce. Mix well to coat the hot dogs.
- Finish them off by placing back on your smoker or on a grill at a higher temperature (350 F to 375 F) and cooking for another 15 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- When the sauce has come together and started to thicken and caramelize, remove the hot dog burnet ends from the smoker, transfer to a serving bowl, and serve while warm.
Notes
- Try swap out the brown sugar for honey, maple syrup, or molasses.
- Insert toothpicks into a few of the burnt ends to make it easy for guests to serve themselves.
