Before You Get Started

Grilling hot dogs on a pellet grill is simple since most franks come pre-cooked. But before firing up the pellet grill, consider the type of hot dog (casing, meat blend, size) and the bun (side-loading vs. top-loading, sturdy vs. soft), as these choices can affect both texture and how well your toppings hold up.

Steps

• Step 1

  When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 375℉ and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.

  375 ˚F / 191 ˚C

• Step 2

  Arrange the hot dogs directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and grill for 15 minutes, turning every 5 minutes.
