- [Instructor] Welcome to BBQpitboys.com
today we're grilling up some bbq pit boys
firecracker dogs is the pick,
and it's real easy to do.
All right, let me show ya how to get this done.
Now, you wanna choose yourself a good hotdog
for this recipe.
Here I'm using a natural, all beef hotdog
with no hormones or antibiotics,
artificial flavors or color.
Use the best hot dog you can afford.
It's well worth it, oh yeah.
What we're doing, is we're cutting tentacles,
thin slices of dog using the knife here, right?
And tentacles, like a squid, maybe.
All right, do a bunch of 'em, just like that.
All right.
Now we're gonna slice it on the other side.
Now carefully, we don't wanna go
through the entire dog,
we wanna leave the center of the dog intact.
This will hold everything together, obviously, right?
All right.
So we do those slices just like that.
Now if you've never had one of our FireCracker
hog dogs before, you definitely gotta check it out.
And you're gonna probably make a bunch of these
'cause they're gonna go real fast, right?
And you better be careful, 'cause you're gonna be heading
right for that BBQ in a minute.
Now, here we're gonna brush on some sauce.
And we're gonna use some hot sauce.
After all, these are FireCracker dogs.
Choose your favorite hot sauce, of course.
We're gonna be eatin' good tonight, Martha.
Ooh!
Now why are we doing it this way?
Well, for most, with a hot dog,
the best part of it from the grill is the char,
right?
Is that crispy, salty char that occurs
on the outside of the dog.
Oh man, I know you know what I'm talking about.
So by doing this, using this method,
we're gonna char the inside of this dog, too,
before it's finished on the grill.
You got it?
Oh, (laughs)
this is gonna be good.
Again, throw some of that sauce all inside.
That sugar base will help bring on
more of that char.
(sighs)
Ah.
Now, I'm placing these hot dogs on a medium heat.
We don't wanna cook 'em too fast, all right?
We don't wanna blow 'em apart.
And we're somewhat indirect.
This way, you maintain a lot of control
from this hot dog.
Oh, me.
Are you kidding me?
Woo.
This won't take long to cook,
depending upon what kind of hot dog you're used to.
All right, a few minutes have gone by.
You could see that char is building,
and those hot dog tentacles are pulling apart.
Whoa.
Are you kidding?
Lord have mercy.
Paint some more of that hot sauce on there.
I'll tell you what, the kids will be standing in line
if you're doing this at your backyard picnic
for family and friends.
Or to tailgate, just keep making 'em.
All right.
I say these dogs are done.
Take a look at that.
That is gonna be a snack.
And that crispy, salty char in every bite.
Now, we're just gonna toast up some buns.
And get 'em just the way you like it.
You like to toast them well, all right.
That's the way they should be.
Oh man,
there's not much more to say about this,
it's totally visual, right?
And can you smell that?
It smells good.
Thank you YouTube for Smell-O-Vision.
(sighs)
There's an app you can download now.
All right.
Ooh, wee. (jazz music)
Now, you can set these FireCracker dogs up the way you want,
use whatever condiments you like.
Here, we're gonna use some cheese,
we're gonna spread it on now.
It'll melt, as we're preparing these dogs.
Yeah.
And of course, some more hot sauce,
that's optional.
But it is a FireCracker dog, go for it.
And here we have some diced tomatoes, diced onions,
diced jalapeno peppers.
It's a salsa in a way.
Use your favorite relish.
This works good for your FireCracker dogs.
Let's get yourself some salsa.

And if you're not, you're on the wrong damn channel.
All right, now as always,
we do apologize, BBQ Pit Boys
for eating in front of you like this,
but we call this, Pitmaster privilege.
Woo.
So good.
Aw.
(sighs)
Yeah.
