I don't know about you, but I can hardly stand to eat a hot dog unless it has been BBQued, period! And, not just any kind of a hot dog.I'm talking about Seattle Mariner Baseball Stadium Hot Dogs. Now, I don't live in Seattle, and I don't live in Washington.
As a matter of fact, I live in Oregon, but we have a Hagen's grocery store (A Washington-based store) in my hometown. They think so much of them that they carry them in their butcher shop year around.... so we buy these hot dogs year around!
They are a little expensive, because they are about ten cuts above, and a meal in themselves, and very well worth it. Yes! We can even get jumbo buns to go along with these BBQ hot dogs, which naturally puts us in hot dog heaven.
Don't buy cheap hot dogs! Go out of your way to seek out a butcher shop that carries their own premium ones. Store bought ones can be ok, but stick with a brand name and look for "all beef" or turkey content.
Hot dogs that feature bi-products scare me.
Fire up one side of the grill to high heat. Close the lid until you are up to temperature. Let the dogs get up to room temperature a tad before placing on the grill.
Once the dogs are placed on the grill, close the lid again for a couple of minutes. With tongs, roll the hot dogs as to allow even grill marks on all the sides. The whole process should take five minutes.
You can usually tell when they are done because they will start to blister.
Add some home-made baked beans and some potato salad.....and you're there!
Enjoy! Like my favorite chef and friend, George Hirsch would say: “Know your fire!”
I don’t ask that you send me 100K for my BBQ and cooking tips. But, hey, it's cool if you do! It really helps with the bills. If not, please check out my sponsors and ads....it helps keep up the blog and my fragile spirit! Thank you, it’s appreciated!

I know exactly what you are talking about with Mariner dogs, I have had a couple in my lifetime at Safeco Field, at the game. They are the best, even better than Costco dogs.
I haven't had a Mariner Dog but I completely agree that a dog isn't quite a dog unless it's spent some time on a 'Q!
I refuse to eat them boiled. Has to be over a fire:)
Be still, my heart! I've never had a Mariner dog if you're putting them on the grill I'm sure they're incredible.
