Prepare Your Campfire or Grill:
For a campfire, build a steady flame using dry wood and kindling. Allow the fire to burn down to embers for even heat.
For a portable grill, preheat it for 5–10 minutes to ensure consistent cooking.
Grill the Hot Dogs:
Place hot dogs on the grill perpendicular to the grates to prevent rolling.
Grill for 6–8 minutes, turning every 1–2 minutes for even cooking and char marks.
