After 6 weeks of ownership of my new Pit Boss Kamado grill I realized I have not done any basic old school simple grilling. No hots, no hamburgers, no Italian sausage, no brats. So tonight we fixed that and got two of the four out of the way.

Zweigles red and white hots, not possitive who made the sausage, but they are probably from Gianelli's in Syracuse. Zweigles hots are a Rochester NY thing although when ordering at a hot/burger joint a red is called a "Texas" for reasons that escape me since there is nothing like them in Texas. The white is called a "porker" even though the Reds also have pork in them. If that doesn't seem to make much sense, we then put hot sauce on them, except it is really a seasoned meat sauce and not normally hot. If you want all the condiments, don't order "everything" on them, or you will only get yellow mustard, chopped onions and sauce. Intuitive no?

Anyway, on the the cook. I inverted the Spider to raise the main grate up to the felt line and get some clearance between the meat and fire. No worries of flare ups burning the meat.

Zweigles dogs use a natural casing and are marketed as "pop open" because they will, well, pop open if you don't cut them. Most local dog places will slice them almost through length wise and then fold them open to cook them flat on a griddle, but on a grill I prefer to just let em pop.

Dogs are done first, should have given the sausage a head start.

And they're done.

Awesome M-Fine...

It's getting harder and harder to find natural casing dogs anymore. I love the way they hold the flavor and how they burst when you bite into them. Your pictures have me drooling.

We can get the White Hots here at Wegman's and we love them. We even are even able to buy Zweigles sauce here as well.

Thanks for sharing one of your regional favorites with us.... and such a great cook in pictures.

Wrapped in bread please

We had them on New England style buns which are a lot like wrapping them in bread, but more convenient.

Those popped open dogs look like they would hold some good horseradish mustard quite well. I'm in for a couple. Nice cook!

They sure do. They hold a lot of toppings well. The one thing they are not good for is a Chicago Dog. You need a thinner all beef dog for that, otherwise give me a Zweigles any day.

Get one of those premium coolers and make a road trip! Just don't come in Winter as you probably won't like it.

Man they look good, saw something awhile back on PBS about Zweigles and how they make their "Hot Sauce" I thought they looked good but these look great.
