I eat very few hot dogs (maybe 3 or 4 a year?). Don't like them much. Only reason I was going to have one was so that I wouldn't have to cook that night (been recuperating from something). So, that's why I just left when I smelled the diesel. Didn't really feel like being there anyway. I went home and at a bowl of grits while resting on the couch.

I love hot dogs and I care about how they are cooked.

I used to use diesel fuel to start bbqs and I never had any trouble with a taste in the food.

My go to fire starter is newspaper with a few cups of cooking oil poured over it,makes for a very slow and safe fire starter when lit,and no petroleum aromas.

This sounds like a good idea....do you use it to start charcoal fires also, or just wood?

I want to use diesel fuel only because I learned it can be used to clean a bicycle chain. Like all cleaners, at some point it will become saturated with dirt and I'll have to discard it, but how? I can't use it as fuel because my car uses gasoline. It's illegal to dump it down the drain or toilet or even pour it into the dirt. So I thought I can burn it. So, if I can use it as lighter fluid and even barbecue on it, then I'll do that. The only way to dispose of it: burn it.

I once went to a barbecue given by someone who was supposed to be famous for his barbecue. It REEKED of lighter fluid, the meat was inedible. I ate side dishes.

Someone earlier in this thread mentioned a chimney starter, using newspaper. This is the method I use. I stay away from the glossy ads though. I can even "taste" the paraffin used in some starters like "Tumbleweeds", just nasty. BTW, someone mentioned hotdogs being processed, ever had some from a butcher shop dedicated to charcuterie? Big difference from prepackaged garbage.

People eating "weenies" and they're worried about chemicals in smoke from the fire that cooks them?
