I can't remember the last time i grilled a hot dog, other then at a family picnic. Our go to is Nathan's natural casing on an electric griddle that's been in the family for probably 40 years. We had to replace the heating element once about 5 years ago, but it works great. We wanted hot dogs last week, I had a pack of Nathans natural casing in the freezer i thawed out, realized we needed hot dog buns and were out of baked beans. Sent wife to grocery store. They were out of hot dog buns, and the baked bean section was completely wiped out. All i had on hand as far as beans were kidney beans, needless to say, we didnt have hot dogs that day, lol.
