Do you really believe these people light off a grill to cook two burgers,
two chops, even a couple small steaks.

Agreed... more often than not no matter how careful one is fiddling moving
them about, flipping and turning, the heat from a grill is too intense and
bursts the dog. I much prefer dogs slooowly simmered (removes substantial
curing salts and fat) then browned a bit in a pan... flavor is not lost
because dogs are overly seasoned, in fact they were originally meant to be
simmered, until some cubscout stuck them with a stick and burnt them over a
campfire. And again, no normal brained person is going to light a grill to
cook a couple three dogs.
