Or you could just boil it.

Pick me! Pick me! I'll volunteer!

Ignite the grill, then it’s sterile. OTOH, maybe don’t investigate too closely how sausege is made. B-D

At the end of the day it’s just messin’ with blowing air over the top of it.

i.e. one end is cold and uncooked.

We use a CharGrill that uses propane to light the charcoal and wait until the inside temp is about 450 degrees.

Then, I put on the grill what I will be grilling and close the lid except to turn the chosen protein and vegies.

There “ain’t” too many germs/viruses that can handle 450 degrees.

Wrong off the bat. I have two charcoal mini Webber BBQs on my deck. I use both when people are over. As soon as I’m done with the grills I dump the grills in a pan of hot soapy water and later scrub them with a Brillo pad. In my youth I would use the filthy grills that are sometimes found in campgrounds. I figured that enough heat will kill anything dangerous. I lived through that, so. ..

Nothing better than Earl Campbell’s hotlinks grilled until they rip open, throw onto a decent bun and covered with mustard and home-made kimchee (or sauerkraut, *I make both*) and a side of Ranch Style Beans. Mmm-hmm.

[Reno89519]

Looks rather Rube Goldberg approach, and sadly it looks like it only cooks half the dog.

[TexasM1A]

ummmmmmm, that’s not grilling.

[Mathews]

Lost me on the very first sentence. Who the heck DOESN’T want a good doggie rolled around on a nicely oiled and seasoned grate? Geez... that’s what makes ‘em taste good.

[ConservativeInPA]

There are plenty of better options other than hotdogs. I have one about once a year just to remind me of that. As for options to cook:

Sometimes low tech and a little thinking works. If you know your trees, you can select the smoke flavor for your sausage. Electric coils don't add any flavor.

[glorgau]

...but have you ever stopped to wonder what’s accumulated on your BBQ over the years?

Flavor.

[McGruff]

That's how you cook a hot dog. Or coney.

[Starstruck]

Looking for a more hygienic way to roast a hot dog that doesn’t involve it rolling around on a rarely cleaned grill?

A couple of minutes of high heat plus 30 seconds with a grill brush before cooking gives me more confidence in hygiene than most restaurants I know.

[Billthedrill]

It wouldn’t be a proper gas station without hot dogs rotating on those shiny steel rollers, although I’ll confess I’ve never seen anyone actually consume one. Gas station sushi is pretty good too.

Microwave....... grilling does not enhance an ordinary hot dog
