Smoke or Grill Sausage?

[chilipepper]

Hi all, I have some store bought chicken sausages which I usually just grill on my Green Egg but its going to be full today. So I thought about putting them in my Masterbuilt propane smoker. I want to cook them with some smoke flavour. I don't want them dried out.

What temp should they be cooked at and for how long? I'll be adding maple and cherry wood to the smoker. Any other tips? I've never cooked sausage in the smoker.

Thanks :sausage:

Are thay cured sausages or fresh. Look for sodium nitrite in the ingredients

They're fresh from the butcher.

Smoke them till they hit at least 165*

Since they're fresh sausages "without" cure make sure to get them to 140* in 4 hrs. or less. Set your smoker at about 225* or so and keep an eye on them.

Thanks, I had them in the smoker for about an hour and finished them off on the grill. Ran out of time.

Next time hot smokem between 190 to 210. They will get done by the 4 hr mark and bring them to an IT of 160
