If you think back, not too many hot dogs have tasted better. And if surrounded by your best pals while performing this gustatory ritual of the great outdoors, smoke billowing up to the stars as you swapped scary stories, it made it all the better.

In fact, my friends and I had a boys weekend at my buddy’s camp this past summer, and that is exactly the way we cooked them.

Late at night, when it was too dark to see, you knew your hot dog was done when the skin squealed and popped.

nothin’ better.
