Title: Smoke a supermarket hot dog
Post by: Rich_91360 on March 29, 2010, 01:48:12 PM
does anyone do this?  realize already cooked, just wondering if placing at 180-200 degree with smoke for an hour would enhance flavor?

Thanks for calling me monty. ;D

Not a thing wrong with smoking factory doggies, sausage, boudain, hams, and anything else out there.

I have bacon wrapped dogs and smoked them. delicious!

Smoked factory sausage and boudain all the time.

Try it and if you don't like it feed it to the dogs.

I did it with Hebrew National franks (got them on sale). They came out good, but didn't really plump up like I'm used to when boiling the oscar mayer type.

I have stabbed them with a fork a whole bunch of times for some xtra smoke penetration.

Wrapped them in bacon.

Put them on the bottom rack in a pan with beer.

Not bad at all.

Here is something to consder I saw on the 0 toob the other nite
Wrap the doggie in bacon and drop in a deep fryer at 360
There are done when they float
They were  called delicous and life changing
That alone makes me want to try this

I have to admit it looked really good
I was waiting for the female chef who was eating it to light a smoke when she was done !

Had to try some,
I popped them in the smoker for 1 HR of hickory @ about 100 degrees.

after smoke

after fry
(http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr169/smokerpics/new%20cheese/hot%20dogs/done.jpg)

I will put more smoke on them next time for sure.
Also, once they are dropped into the fryer it only takes 3 to 5 minutes till they are floating!

I would think that much of the smoke would still be on the surface and might "wash off" during a deep fry.  If that's the case, you might think about finishing in TBE if you have one rather than deep frying.

I have TBE but still would like more smoke flavor....
may be selling TBE since i got the red grill, i like it better.
can still do chickens/turkeys on the grill with a rotisserie.

I may have misunderstood.  I thought you smoked them and then "finished" in a deep fat fryer to crisp the bacon.  I was suggesting that you do only the "finish" part in TBE - thought it might be better in terms of retaining smoked taste since the surface smoke particles won't be "washed away" like they are in a hot oil bath.

So were they good ?
Was it worth it?

On TV, the entire cooking process took place in a deep fryer

I had the deep fryer out tonight but no dogs and no bacon.
I see a weekend project coming

They were worth doing, and i will do them again.
They would be a lot of fun at a family gathering or something like that.
they cook pretty quick in the fryer though...you gotta watch'em.
