Make slits in the hot dogs using a paring knife, being careful not to cut all the way through.

In a bowl, mix butter with garlic powder and Big Texan seasoning.

Rub the butter mixture into the slits of the hot dogs.

Place the hot dogs on the grill, not directly over the charcoal, to control the heat.

Grill the hot dogs until done, checking for doneness visually.

Prepare hot dog rolls for serving.

Add mustard to the slinky dogs, allowing it to get into the slits.

Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the hot dogs.

Top with diced onions and pickle relish as desired.

Optionally, drizzle with chipotle habanero sauce for extra heat.
