The "recipe" for the turtle burgers has been around for awhile, I first saw it as a food blog entry many months ago (4, 5 I'd guess, but not sure offhand), and seen it pop up in other places a few times since, but they always seem to be oven cooked. I don't recall ever seeing one smoked.

I would think that one would probably have to attach the hot dogs in the last hour to half-hour of smoking, else there probably wouldn't be anything left of them that would be edible.

I was thinking about using sausage (not that hot dogs aren't really a sausage). That way they would pretty much cook along with the rest of the fatty.
