What say the hive.....

Nicely browned or chared crisp?

I like some black crispy spots on the hotdog from a grill.



And the bun toasted on the grill too

I don't typically go for hot dogs, but if that's what's on, then make mine crispy. I like the skin blackened and peeling.

Not black, but nice and cooked on the outside

Hot dog on the grill.  I honestly don't care, as long as it's cooked and hot.

I like my beef medium-rare


But when it comes to hot dogs, a nicely charred outside is the only way to go.

My first attempts at grilling 'dogs was not too successful.  They were more like crunchy charcoal sticks.

I have gotten better at it over the years and now they are nicely browned and normal looking with far less "charcoal".  

Interestingly, when my kids come over, they request the "charcoal sticks" as that is what they remember and like.

Medium-ish.  Darkening a bit and getting some good grill marks, but not incinerated or with bitter-tasting burned spots.

This is the only correct way to grill hot dogs. This was posted once on here long ago, and I shall never have non-cut hot dogs again.



ETA: 3 minutes!

This man knows what he is doing. I agree but the rest of you can have them any way you want.

Another important part is to get quality buns and quality dogs themselves. Going cheap is fine if you are cooking for a huge bunch of drunk folks
but the quality stuff does count for better eating.

Here in central CT the brand to get is Hummels (out of New Haven) I prefer the natural casing ones for the grill.

Me- nicely browned

The rest of the family- blackened

I wish I knew where to find the "frankfurters" our dad bought at the butcher's when we were kids.  They were like the franks you see in old cartoons--short, very plump, with natural casings tied at the ends.  Grilled 'til they're about to pop, slap 'em on a bun with mustard and onions.  The natural casings had that snap most hot dogs lack nowadays.

For you old timers: Frank Zappa's Burnt Weeny Sandwich:



Anybody else learn to cook hotdogs stuck on a fork and held over the flame of the kitchen stove?  If you like burnt weenie sammiches that's the way to do it.

They're delicious.  



Get all that delicious flavor without an end being burnt because the grillman was focused on the burgers.

I had some at a friend's cookout.  He spiral-cut them, then brushed bbq sauce on them and grilled them.  The sauce got in all the nooks and caramelized.  It was very, very good.

Dip them in Coca Cola before grilling, light to mod brown on outside.

And you have to use beef franks.
