Spiral cutting the hot dog is actually pretty easy.

First you insert the wood skewer lengthwise through the middle of the hot dog.

Take a knife and start cutting at top of the hot dog at a slight angle till the edge of the knife is up against the wood skewer.

Roll the hot dog forward to start cutting a spiral. 

If your hot dog gets to the edge of your cutting board before you reach the end, just stop, move the hot dog back onto the board and start cutting from where you left off.

Slide the hot dog off the skewer when done. 

The hot dog is now ready to be grilled.

Grill hot dogs 4 to 5 minutes per side over direct heat.

Place hot dog in bun and garnish with your favorite fixings.

Hot dog garnishes - mustard, relish, onions, etc.

The benefits of a spiral cut hot dog is a perfectly straight hot dog that fills the bun, more surface area so you have more grill flavor, and once in the bun the spiral cut leaves lots of slots for relish and other toppings.
