Firecracker brats on the Mastertouch. Hit with mesquite smoke.

Served with home fermented sauerkraur, fermented cucumber relish and jalapenos simmered in butter and beer.

A simple meal.

A little inglehoffer on top.
 
That kraut mix sounds killer! Fat me could eat all of that. Ok... maybe there might be one or two brats left.

Delicious looking meal! Could you tell me more about the cucumber relish?
Thank you. The relish was just lacto fermented pickling cucumbers drained and buzzed up. Fresh dill and garlic added during the fermenting process. We usually go 2 weeks on the counter.

So, you ground already fermented cukes with garlic and dill? Sounds easy. And I have full sours in the fridge with dill and garlic.

We tried smoking brats a while ago but never could get the skin how we liked so now brats get sone in the Ninja Air Fryer. Our pellet burns very clean at the higher temps to crisp up the skin like we prefer so we get prey much no smoke flavoring

Hey now, let's not talk down about those Brats. They are by no means "lowly", especially the way you've done them. Simply a superb looking plate and I'd tear up a dozen or so of them :emoji_laughing: Super nice job.

Not sure your goal but I'll assume with a good snap. If you look in photo 2 above, I build the fire in trays to the right and left on the Mastertouch. The brats go down the middle and wood chips up on the grate above the fire baskets. I never need to flip these, no charring, no splitting (as long as they aren't left too long) and they cook at a nice high temp for that crispy snap. I grill lid down and hot - wide open. Same method works wonders on chicken breasts too. Just gotta adjust the temp accordingly for what's on the grill. I hate flipping the meat unless it's a steak or chop so I do 95% of my grilling indirect. The food is IMO more beautiful and juicy that way.
