Ingredients
  • 24 hot dogs
  • 8 oz. dark soda of choice (we used Dr. Pepper)

Special Tools
  • Mixing bowl

Directions
  1. Preheat your wood pellet grill or smoker to 350°F.
  1. Grill the hot dogs until they reach your desired color. We recommend slightly charring them.
  1. Remove from the grill and cut into quarters. Mix them in a bowl with your BBQ sauce, BBQ rub and dark soda.
  1. Place the mixture into a half size aluminum pan and place back on the grill for another 40-50 minutes stirring every 10 minutes until the sauce becomes tacky.
  1. Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
