    Hot dogs

    I am cooking for a company gathering in 2 weeks. I want to smoke 100, 1/4 lb Hebrew National hot dogs. I am going to smoke at 250. How long do you think it would take to bring them up to 160? I might take about 8 of them and do a trial run.

    Chicken Breasts with Ribs advice?

    This is my go to when I smoke breasts. I brine them for 8 hours, rub them, let them dry in the fridge over night, smoke for 2 hours @ 250 and the skin comes out near perfect every time. I think the overnight drying in the fridge helps them crisp up.
