Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C).
If desired, lightly butter the insides of the hotdog buns and set them aside.
Place the hotdogs on the grill perpendicular to the grates to create nice grill marks.
Grill the hotdogs, turning occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, until heated through and grill marks form on all sides.
During the last minute of cooking, place the buttered side of the buns on the grill to toast lightly, keeping an eye to prevent burning.
Remove the hotdogs and buns from the grill.
Place each grilled hotdog inside a toasted bun.
Top with your choice of ketchup, mustard, chopped onions, and relish, or other favorite condiments.
Serve immediately while hot.
