Smoked hotdogs is something that is pretty common. But this recipe is to smoke Bacon wrapped hotdogs! For all of us who just can’t live without bacon, this is the perfect twist to a regular hotdog. If you have been browsing through our recipes quite a bit, you will see that we always try to do something new that hasn’t been done yet. So to spice up this Bacon Wrapped Smoked Hotdog, we finish it off with, yes…………. SMOKED KETCHUP! Whether it is on a hotdog or something else, you have to try smoked ketchup. It’s now one of my favourite things to put in my smoker, next to the hotdogs, briskets, etc. Have fun!
