Wrap each hot dog in thin cut bacon, securing with a toothpick.

Preheat the pellet smoker to 275°F (135°C).

Place the wrapped hot dogs on a rack for easy transfer to the smoker.

Smoke the hot dogs until the bacon is crispy, about 30-40 minutes, increasing the temperature to 325°F (163°C) for the last 10-15 minutes if needed.

Remove the hot dogs from the smoker and let them rest briefly.

Top the hot dogs with Stubb's Sticky Sweet BBQ sauce, green onion, white onion, and cheddar cheese as desired.

Serve immediately.
