If anyone can tell me where I can find authentic Rhode Island hot weiners
in Florida, I would be eternally grateful.

While Saugy's do have a charm of their own, they aren't hot weiners by a long
shot.

Hot weiners aren't sold in supermarkets. They are one of those rare things
where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. :)

I believe the original request was for what we affectionatly know as
"gaggers". Last I had heard they didn't allow them in Florida because
of the mystery meat sauce.

Oh man, another "hot wieners are illegal in other states" folk story. When
will people realize that the Rhode Island "New York system" wiener is
unique to our fair state since the manufacturer (Little Rhody) happens to
be based in Johnston...The name New York system has nothing to do with New
York, it is simply a result of the fact that the inventor of this
fabulous culinary delight did not think anyone would buy a product named
after Rhode Island (please do not bring up Coney Island dogs, they are
vastly different)...Anyway, Little Rhody does in fact ship their wieners
to various parts of the country and supermarkets throughout the state
carry them in their deli sections (not with the other hot dogs)...I would
suggest Ruggieri's in Cranston as a starting point...As far as the sauce
goes, the East Providence sauce mix is not bad but lacks a few major
components...I would suggest going to a restaurant that sells wiener sauce
and buying a pint from them. It is much easier than preparing it on your
own and will be of a much higher quality than anything made with a store
bought spice mix...(remember, the quality of spices declines rapidly)...I
have had good luck with Country Pizza and Restaurant on route 3 in
Coventry, their phone number is 826-2250 and they charge only $7.50 per
pint....This may sound like a steep price, but a pint makes about 150
wieners...What you don't use you can always freeze....Finally, remember
for best quality, the buns should come from Homestead Bakery....Accept
nothing else but the true blue winer bun...(not available to the general
public)...I would suggest begging the fine people at Country Pizza.....

I had wondered about that because I lived in New York for eight years
and I never once saw anything resembling what you here have come to call
"New York System" weiners.

There was even a joke commercial about a bar on Long Island called the
Oak Beach Inn... on Wednesday you could have your choice of hot dogs,
frankfurters or weiners. The implication of course being that they are
all one and the same... I wonder if any Rhode Islander's ever went there
a pitched a fit about what they called a "weiner"!

Gagger grease a.k.a. "meat sauce" freezes about as easily
as motor oil.

If you take the time to heat it first, then chill it you'll
see just how much oil and grease is in there.

A warning : once you do this, you may never eat another weiner
again.

I am going crazy, I need a hot weiner. I called the place that makes them in Johnston but they do not ship so with the snowbirds coming down I am going to ask a friend to buy a box for me and bring it with him.
Just afraid when I make them for my friends for the first time down here they will go fast.

Yeah. Just make 'em yourself.
Just google NY system hot wiener sauce recipes(allrecipes.com has 'em)
or go to quahog.org(
http://www.quahog.org/factsfolklore/index.php?id=129 for a bunch). The
sauce, chopped onions, mustard in the bun, and celery salt is really
what makes the taste....IMO. But if you really want authentic, call up
one of the NY Systems and explain the problem and ask 'em where the get
their wieners, then order as well from the same place. You can order
pretty much anything these days.
I've tried a few of the recipes at quahog at home and it comes pretty
darn close. Plus, there's no real danger of 'overcooking' a sauce and
everyone has their own tastes....so its not hard to adapt the ingredient
proportions to suit your own likes and memory of what it 'should' taste
like. The times I've made at home I find I like more chili powder and
cumin and pepper in the sauce to bring it up a notch, usually go easy on
the celery salt in the sauce...preferring to add directly atop the sauce
instead, before layering on the onions. I've even made hotter versions
using Thai red chili's to really bump it up a notch(you can always
control the amt of sauce <G>) ..and next time I make, I've thought about
using very-finely chopped/diced celery instead of actual celery salt:
again, everyone's tastes are different.

You can't. From what I gather the hot weiner is specifically a Rhode
Island thing. Sort of like Coffee Milk.

You can make your own genuine Nick's Hot Dogs meat sauce yourself if
you buy their packets:

http://www.nicksconey.com/shop/

Nick's is right now the best of the surviving coney Island hot dog
joints in Fall River. (Their other food is good too!)
