Instructions :
1. **Preheat & Prep:** Start by preheating your smoker to 250°F. For that perfect presentation, use a knife to make crosshatch cuts on the skin of each hot dog.
2. **Season Generously:** In a bowl, mix paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, onion powder, ground mustard, and black pepper. Coat each hot dog generously with the seasoning for maximum flavor.
3. **Smoke to Perfection:** Place the seasoned hot dogs on the grill and smoke for about an hour, or until they reach an internal temperature of 155°F.
4. **Serve & Enjoy:** Pop each smoked hot dog into a warm bun, load on your favorite toppings, and dig in!
**Quick Tips for the Best Smoked Hot Dogs**
– **Scoring Trick:** Use two wooden spoons alongside the hot dog to avoid cutting too deeply when crosshatching.
– **Choose the Right Wood:** For a rich, smoky flavor, use a strong wood like hickory, mesquite, or oak.
– **Short on Time?** If you need to speed things up, increase the smoker temperature to 350°F and cook for 15-20 minutes. You’ll get a faster result, though the smoky depth will be lighter.
– **Got Leftovers?** Slice them up and add to mac and cheese or casseroles for an extra kick.
