[@jamesmartinez2444]

Don't know how many us grew up without someone show us stuff like this and as man don't really go round asking everyone advice thanks man helped alot

[@raytharude7670]

I got shown but just didnt pay attention

[@fkaiba94]

Right here! They ain't taught me nothing so I learn everything from KZbin

[@hammuel188]

I agree.

[@brianwhiteboy49mitchell45]

Yeah I had to learn by trial and error

[@kaelbennett7376]

Ya have never been taught how to cook thing KZbin. Became a great source for cooking

[@beerhallboys]

Bought a chimney starter based on your recommendation last year. Well worth it. Thanks for this video. Super helpful.

[@dejonsmall9886]

Tip for doing Hotdogs and Hotlinks. On your stove heat up a pot of water, add olive oil and some garlic powder or salt. When pot comes to a boil leave it for 5 minutes, turn off heat, put in dogs/links, cover and let sit 10-15 minutes. Then put on grill. Perfect every time.

[@LE-kg5jv]

Thanks!!

[@justagirllookingup]

Ooh thats a great idea! Thanks!!

[@SonicBoomC98]

I'll try it and see

[@lizadivine3785]

My husband uses that trick! Yes it works!

[@dennismcginnis]

Yeah that works. I boil them on low until they swell and then brown them on the grill. They don't brown as fast like that so they get more grill flavor.

[@ms.crystalfeyh2733]

I'm about to cook on. Grill for the first time and just want to say thank you for this video .wish me luck!

[@michaelzoran]

I wish you luck @ms.crystalfeyh2733 🙂

[@artaxerxes2363]

There's no wrong way to grill hotdogs. Its simple mathematics!

[@robertmcmullan8449]

so first 4 mins of this video and Im seeing exactly what I end up with every time I bbq !

[@charlesc3618]

“Don’t do this…. “. NEVER have I laughed during a cooking video like I have with this one. Who wouldn’t want char-burnt wieners!? Great video, and thanks for the laughs and education!

[@DjSweat13]

Thank you! I'm about to grill for the second time ever First time was filet minon (turned out perfect), now its burger time. Wish me luck!!

[@Hagfan789]

I have one of those electric charcoal starters..really works good..10 minutes & I'm ready to start cookin. Chimney works very well also.

[@michaelzoran]

THOUGHTS: I followed these instructions yesterday. I got the "marks" on the Hot Dogs 100% perfect. I left the hot dogs for 90 seconds on one side. I then rotated 180 degrees and cooked another 90 seconds. I then moved the Hot Dogs to the Indirect Heating side of the grill. But, the Hot Dogs simply did NOT taste as good - presumably because the Hot Dogs only spent about seven or eight minutes on the grill and did not absorb as much of the "smoke" flavor from the charcoal. The other day, I left the Air Vents only half open in order to make it so the Hot Dogs spent more time in the grill. The Hot Dogs were "burnt" more, but they hot dogs also tasted better as a result of having more "smoke" flavor.

[@dougevans6389]

I like my hotdogs cooked all the way through but then I want it black right next to burnt!! Hamburger medium well!!

[@abj5791]

Same way I like mine done also!

[@DocJamesH]

That thing has to rip in half before I take it off the grill.

[@gina4319]

nothing like a crispy crunch hot dog.. Love it 🤟

[@ajg1791]

Hot Dogs are already packaged cooked. You're just warming it up on the grill.

[@danoesq2]

I knew everything on this video except thinking about the position of the grill grate. Thanks for the tip, I never thought about that.

[@bigspeoni8168]

Just starting learning to grill thank you for the instructions

[@steventinson466]

Contrary to what was stated in this video, ground chuck has one of the highest meat to fat ratio usually 80/20.

[@johncox5297]

Thanks for making a video on simple burgers and dogs. I have had a hard time getting them right.

[@gpotter1575]

I cannot lie, watching the intro video six minutes reminds of my horrible past grilling BBQUEING Skills. Much improvement since then (1998)✌🏾🙌🏾👋🏽👍🏾

[@johnthompson4162]

This is your best video yet. Speechless!!!! Easy solutions for common problems. Fluid also puts a taste on burgers too. John T.

[@justinluttmer]

If you like your dogs burnt but cooked through, heat them indirectly and then finish them over the coals, kind of like a reverse sear.

[@dazzbatom4340]

Weber chimney and lighter cubes can't live without them

[@ProudWhiteBoy]

Use a chemeny starter lighter fluid leaves a nasty taste

[@natesmultishop1814]

Surprised you didn’t do the burger spatula squish/press during the wrong way. I see that ALL the time and it drives me nuts! Great video, Backwoods. Keep em comin!!

[@arthurhodo6066]

Gotta grill the buns

[@billyg7281]

I used to use the fluid, did not know any better. Love not having that nasty taste any longer!

[@TerrellWalker-l2f]

I can't wait to get my own personal grill

[@whyyoutrippindeebo3514]

Good advice straight to the point and very informative 💯

[@JD-nc7yb]

You turned me on to chimney starters while I was learning how to use camp dutch ovens. My current grill is gas but I'm going back to charcoal soon. Your videos are always informative...please keep em coming.

[@tamalpias]

Ok I was guilty of that first method plus I use to use the spatula to press the grease and fat including all the juices out. Thank goodness for youtube. 😂

[@jackwebb5917]

I’m not sure about other parts of the country, but here in Texas hotdogs and burgers are not BBQ, we call it grilling. Low and slow (brisket, pork shoulder, beef roast, etc) low and slow is BBQ

[@JT_WUZ_H3R3]

He actually recommended seasoning sir I’d like elect you for president

[@williamriley2528]

The correct way to cook Hot Dogs & Hamburgers to cook them the way you like them best...!

[@jackdawson3276]

Very true! Most people have no clue ( half of America LOL) I use ground beef and add one egg, a splash of Worsecheier sauce, and a bit of Emerils or McCormick meat seasoning. I add some chopped peppers and onions and make the patties nice and thick. I drizzle a bit of olive oil on the patties and get my gas weber to 700 degrees. I grill 2-3 minutes on each side. If I use charcoal, I get the kettle to 500 degrees and leave them on a bit longer. The Weber chimney is great!

[@bubblehead6160]

and let's not forget about the people that mash all of the juices out of the burger.

[@softshoes]

Yeah he forgot to mash them down good and hard.

[@marksandquist4275]

mash em down real good and when they stick and rip apart half falls through the grill and say "oops guess that ones mine"

[@canadiancastaholic6090]

Everything probably tasted like lighter fluid...use that chimney...

[@billgoodwin3008]

I’ve used the charcoal chimney starters for years but every once in a while I miss the old JP5 starter fluid 😄. Semper Fi

[@suzukiking8191]

O ya backwoods got me stuck on my charcoal chimney never go back

[@gina4319]

starter fluid is absolutely the best way to start charcoal to get the charcoal flaming erratically

[@softshoes]

I like to cook my dogs in a pot of beef broth set on the grill. Then as needed I take them out and put them on the grill.

[@dejonsmall9886]

will try this method.

[@coziii.1829]

Never thought to use a torch I just use a long lighter

[@struwelpiet]

Well done mate, love from Australia.

[@Northstardanes]

Sorry but I like a little char on the weenies, I HIGHLY recommend that you try the Sahlens (Publix) they're delicious and don't taste as much nitrates! Nitrates are BAD 4 U! We have a little country store out here (Charlie's St. Joe store) just out of Dade City who grinds his own ground beef, cuts his own steaks, they're 100% better than what you find in the store, worth the 8 mile drive for them! We do our burgers like you do but Tim also lets them sit with a touch of worschestershire on them b4 grilling medium rare. Y'all Have a blessed 4th of July 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@bellacronin5599]

Sahlens are hands down THE BEST hotdogs around! 🌭

[@megamattoutdoors7648]

Great video. First part made me cringe. Surely hope that my brother in law saw this. Yes...you Andy

[@Doug6714]

The second round of hot dogs look great. The burgers look great on both rounds.

[@jerebigler7520]

Great video! Speaking of seasoning, have you ever used Lipton Onion soup mix with your burger? 2 pkgs to three lbs burger, mix well and form the patties. Our family loves 'em like that.

[@1010QUEEN7]

Thanks will try for the 4th of July

[@SonicBoomC98]

I've definitely done that a few times

[@lashandabeard704]

Thank you!!!

[@stevesproul3744]

I cringe every time I see someone put lighter fluid on a grill

[@MrCastIron]

Yeah me too

[@39zack]

Haiyaaaaa..... Lighter fluid is so sad!

[@39zack]

@Damon Wadyko no need to use it, use chimney

[@gjokbojaj]

Me too, absolutely no need to

[@BuckyNugget]

Ohhhh... How *NOT* 😆 At first, I was like, I don't think this guy knows what he's doing...

[@coziii.1829]

I never seen anyone burn hotdogs like that

[@GroovyDoobieDoo]

"2 years and not a scratch on it", proceeds to show the only scratch on the entire chimney. Jokes aside, great video, im just learning charcoal and got my first grill for fathers day, looking forward to grillin

[@brick1357]

I was cussing and hollering the whole time you were doing the mock run lol

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

Get the people who know how attention. Was painful for me also. Trying to teach here.

[@LuisSanchez-en3sf]

What oil do you recommend to put on the grille so the meat doesn’t stick?

[@426superbee4]

Way i like to grill smoke them Red Franks is? Take them Skewers sticks and place one down the center of each. Then with a sharp knife hold at 45 deg and make a slice all the down it as rolling it, This keep them straight and all togather for a spiral effect. This make the hot dog hold more things as well in it. while getting a bite of frank in every bite

[@J-Dogg-wt1hp]

grill box on the camp chef works wonders faster cook times great results . throw in some pellets or wood chips for smoked flavor and have the box lid closed . I love the GRILL .

[@HerbalistMax]

Delicious! Even this early in the AM!

[@coziii.1829]

I always see people season them

[@kaeganthornhill3936]

Yep, it seems most folks don't know how to Grill a Good hotdog.

[@ladysmithrnmert9196]

nice job Sir. I learned a lot.

[@LeemWills]

ill take the burnt hotdog over anything

[@keeno808]

Good work ......really appreciated !!!!👍🏻

[@PhillipStewart-k7f]

To rubbery it bounces

[@HobiesGarageBBQ]

Great stuff as usual!

[@damionmiller1]

What is that what wall behind your grill , is it heat resistant?

[@timedwards9964]

Giving picky, classless, guests well done burgers is a good way to get them to come back....

[@kellyphillips4404]

Yes Sir , . . . . I Agree with you my friend. Watching from Kentucky “ The Bluegrass State “ ….. thank you for passing the information to my friends so I can Enjoy a nice Burger / or Dog at the next get together……. Thanks so much for The Pro Tips my friend,….. 10 - 4 and. Over and Out . !

[@colinzehe3060]

Great looking hockey pucks

[@emmgeevideo]

Sadly, three hot dogs and two hamburger patties had to be sacrificed for this video. RIP

[@seaking6989]

What oil do you recommend to coat the grill with would buter work?

[@dennismcginnis]

Try kosher salt and course ground black pepper on the burgers. I never do the indirect method but what works great for me is brown them to about medium, put them on the bun, then put the whole burger in foil and toast it on both sides. It'll be grey all the way and melt in your mouth when you do it right. You can cheese both sides of the bun too or even go ahead and put mustard on it. One bite and you won't be able to stop. I use 73/27. Chuck is always chewy. Anything leaner is always dry. When they flame, shut the lid, that's the flavor. You'll never have a better burger in your life if you do it my way.

[@CarmenGarcia-bu3so]

I love burned hot 🌭 dog... and the burger I like them medium..pink inside...

[@AntLive29]

How do you eat a burger with no cheese?

[@LoveLife-gv8jg]

You said "hot dog 911" and the siren went off behind you🤣 6:34 I guess I'm the only one that uses aluminum foil😲

[@bimm7930]

How did u get this footage of me grilling hahah I'm terrible but the food comes out good still 🥲

[@ANCIENTASTRONAUT]

VITAL INFORMATION as we enter backyard grilling season

[@mikecooper5544]

Allumdulliah masallah!!

[@DanielOrtega-ji7iw]

I've never seen any of your videos this was the first for me. When I saw the lighter fluid I almost hit the dislike button right then and there LOL. Glad I kept watching though right on. For seasoning my burgers I use Lawry's seasoned salt and fresh cracked black pepper. If it's just me and my fam I'll add garlic powder as well but if I have guests over I usually leave the garlic powder out. Just another tip when using the indirect heat when you move the burgers to the safe zone that's when you add the cheese and put the cover back on the grill and let that cheese melt in.

[@justagirllookingup]

My kid is funny - always says can you make a black one. :-)

[@joseaguinaga835]

Same rule applies for steak or fajitas?

[@426superbee4]

I put out a new fab on hot dogs. I call it > The Hot Dog That Went Down So Good its between a taco, hamburger and a hot dog. Easy to make ! Get some franks and boil them in garlic powder and beef seasoning ! hamburger buns, chopped onion, yellow mustard, and some fresh made taco meat. Take the bun place a nice frank on the hamburger bun push down into the bun, then sprinkle chopped onions, on it, then yellow mustard, and sprinkle some taco meat on it fold it up in a paper towel and pig out. NO ONE CAN EAT JUST 1 add cheese to it, If you wish ~ what ever YOU WANT

[@RustyNail5856]

nice video.

[@jasonpeterson5924]

Lump charcoal and a chimney for sure

[@chriscarter7182]

Lump charcoal, Lazzari Mesquite, and the chimney to start. I grill everything on my Lodge Cast Iron Sportsman Grill, I’m done with the scrawny wire racks on just about every other grill. Cooking delicate seafood on a wire rack grill is a ruined cook waiting to happen, Rockfish fillets, and other delicate fish cuts, will fall apart, into the fire coals, on a wire rack grill. Properly seasoned and cared for, my sportsman grill is the best grill I’ve had! “Disclaimer, “Your results may vary”!😀

[@wandasopchak6453]

What's the best hotdogs to buy???

[@CarmenGarcia-bu3so]

Delicious😊

[@coziii.1829]

I have seen they use a lot of fluid

[@chucknorris2266]

What's your timing on the burger ?

[@cybersean3000]

Try Thousand IIsland Dressing on the butget!

[@bobpriddy5196]

Go to 7:30

[@losmoore3358]

What temperature did u set it at ?

[@DaBrute]

That intro was hard to watch😂

[@kevinjack5184]

The first burger looked good, but that done one... Med rare with red meat

[@KASH4069]

Thinking about using a high heat spray paint on the shell of my sportsman grill. Of course not the grill grate itself. Any thoughts?? Is this considered a moral sin??

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

Will just burn right off.

[@kevinkeim5944]

Don’t like the lighter fluid, charcoal chimney much better!

[@LA-qx2mm]

Two things and I know I probably won't get a reply cause this is a year old, but here goes.....1.why not turn your dogs the other way??? They don't roll all over, and 2. What's your thoughts on aluminum foill on the grill??? Thanks if you do see this!!!!

[@poleclimber1985]

First of all not all of us have 17 hours to wait for all the meat to cook second when you buy the meat then you can tell how to cook it. Not what you are saying is wrong it's absolutely right but feed 40 people fast your way

[@HoangNguyen-fj1ev]

hot dog turn black is the shit

[@loudog8996]

I don’t think you put enough lighter fluid 😂

[@loverboyjmac]

LOL!!! great video

[@Macewindu1121]

Who doesn’t season their food ?

[@BenEverett1]

Those charcoal chimneys cost like $30 now.

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

The Webers last for years.

[@kmslegal7808]

The dogs and burgers should not be cooked in the same spot. The spices, especially salt, from the dogs will stay on the grill and rub off on the burger making it too salty if you have seasoned the burger properly

[@Dove88]

You forgot to add the cheese on those burgers.

[@PhillipStewart-k7f]

That fire is to hot. I think
