  • Continue Cooking Hot Dogs – Continue to cook the hot dogs for approximately 4-5 minutes (flipping ever 30-45 seconds) until the hot dogs are cooked to your preference.
  • Serve and Enjoy – Remove the hot dogs and buns from the grill. Serve them with your favorite toppings and enjoy.

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.
