How to Cook Hot Dogs on Blackstone Griddle:
- Prepare Blackstone Grill – Preheat the Blackstone grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees F.).
- Oil Griddle – Spread the a thin layer of the oil over a portion of the Blackstone grill.
- Heat the Buns – Place the buns on a non oiled portion of the grill to warm them through.
- Add Hot Dogs to Griddle – Place the hot dogs directly on the grill on the oiled portion. Season them with half of the salt salt and pepper.

Griddle Hot Dog Tips:
- Use a good Oil – I usually use avocado oil, coconut oil or canola oil on the Blackstone grill as they have a high smoke point.
- Meat Thermometer – Using a meat thermometer on the hot dog makes sure that they are heated to 140 degrees. It takes about 5 minutes to cook a hot dog on the griddle.
- Hot Dog Buns – Heat Hot Dog buns on the non oil side of the griddle. This allows the buns to have a nice crunchy texture and warms them up.
- Heat Griddle – Make sure your griddle is at the right temperature before grilling hot dogs. It doesn’t take a lot of heat to cook hot dogs but you don’t want it to hot that you burn them.
- Flip Frequently – Because hot dogs don’t take long to cook, stay close to griddle and flip hot dogs frequently.
- Thaw Hot Dogs – We do not recommend placing frozen or cold hot dogs on the grill. We like to set the hot dogs out a few minutes prior to grilling them.
- Wrap Hot Dogs in Bacon – If you want a twist to your hot dogs, wrap them in bacon.

From homemade ketchup to homemade hot dog relish, don’t skimp on the toppings. Our family loves a variety of condiments on their hot dogs and it is the perfect addition to perfectly grilled hot dogs.
