Campdude and I have been cooking chitloads of hotdogs for a Mother's Day even for 5 years. It's always fun to hang out/catch up with Marty and feed tons of folks. My lovely wife and kids help out (one was out with a cold this year, so he got to wash everything at home after the event) and a couple friends stopped by to help. We had a great time and managed to feast on some home made sausage as well as beef cheek tacos (just started making corn tortillas - do that!).
This year we cooked close to 1300 hotdogs. In the past we've been using a WSM, BW Chubby, and a Jumbo Old Smokey. Last year we brought a Ranch Kettle to replace the Old Smokey and this year we just went with the RK and a 26" Weber. Another thing we did different this year was simmer/boil the hotdogs first then just ran 'em across the grill for a few minutes to finish. This seems to have led to a better result and we were definitely able to be more in tune with the ebbs and flows of the crowd.
(I think I got grease or steam or something on my lens...)

campdude getting it done
turning away from the farking blast furnace for a bit - Ranch Kettles get farking hot!
serving - can't ever really get pix of the crowd 'cause when it's on we gotta be cranking
I don't know who made these cookies or why :noidea:
Threads from years past - I don't think I did one for year 3. Lots of broken pix links but some pix still show up:
